Nada, Zip, Zero on the selection. I like six shots--gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling.

Can't vote.
All the guns and calibers we need, and capable of handling needs were made by 1955 with the Intro of .44 Remington Magnum.
1935 if .357 is all you need.

1 LT MPC - I get the same warm fuzzy feeling......
"J" frames ain't Six Guns. I can't understand folks buying a "J" frame when there are so many "K", "L", and "N" frame Smiths for sale. However, all you folks who like the "J" frame - please keep buying, (I have a few shares of S&W stock).

None of them
I have nothing against J frame even own one, but I don't care for super light .357 pistols. The Airwieght .38s are as light as I care to go. For .357 in a J I want steel frame and full size grips.

NONE OF THE ABOVE!
The best J frames are the pinned barrel, all steel Model 36 and the all steel bodyguard. Don't give me no three digit Smith.

Yeah and 7 is better than six. So why not get a 1911?
Instead of everyone jumping on the "we need six shots to party" bandwagon how about you vote which is your preference (or don't vote at all) like the OP asked.
After you finish doing that (or not doing that) you can feel free to make your own thread on why 6-shots are better than 5-shots.
Alan Fud - I like all of them for what they are. Interesting handguns using state of the art metals and manufacturing techniques. But I won't be buying any of them. I like all the j frames but prefer my 24/7 CCW a 642. And I am becoming more interested in the older j and i frames the more I learn about them.

We're just a bunch of old humbugs around here ;-)

well then call me a young humbug. I'm not a fan of the ones listed, hence the no vote. Now if 642 was one of the options...
I like my handguns to have a little weight behind them and i don't really like titanium or scandium.

I voted M&P 360 - they rock.
I keep my 2 pound six shooters for night stand, range work and cowboy shoots - where they belong
(kind of like a woman in the kitchen) [someone's going to kill me for that one]
My 360 weighs ~15oz loaded with full house 357's and 5 shots on your belt or in your pocket is better than 6 shots in your glove box any day.
(Intentionally fanning the flames...)

Can't find merit on carrying a gun...
....not designed for gunfighting.
If it is up to me, and it is, I'll carry a REAL revolver/auto that can do whatever I may need. Pocket guns are a backup to your backup.

I have the best mix of all. A 360PD with tritium sight and spurless hammer from a 340. Wolff springs and C&S firing pin. 11.5 ounces empty. No corrosion. Great DA, for a J-frame anyway. Comfortable with +P. I guess guys who need more than 5 rounds figure they're going to make an assault on a gang hideout, or stop the Wild Bunch from robbing the town bank. Civilian gunfights happen at very close ranges, and are over in a second or two. Maybe somebody falls down, maybe not, and everybody runs away as fast as they can. Protracted lead sharing is something for the authorities, not some guy protecting himself from a mugger.
