The Light J

[Neon Horse]

Here's a lil sweetie. This is a Smith and Wesson 360j. It's a scandium model and it shoots 38 special. I grabbed it for $350 new sometime last year. It now has DeSantis clip grips on it. I like this model.

I like the black finish and the full barrel shroud.

Looks like a good carry gun. And the price is outstanding for a Smith. How is the trigger?
I have tried some Air weight models recently and the triggers were really heavy and gritty.

my wife really likes hers .... it has a Crimson Trace laser grip

That's what I was wondering. It looks nice in black and stainless steel.

the single action trigger pull on wife's is pretty good .... no creep, clean break with a light pull .... to fire it double action takes a much stronger trigger pull .... I don't know if a gunsmith can lighten up the double action trigger pull, I wouldn't want the single action to be messed with

Not bad for a compact revolver. I'd like for it to be smoothed up a bit (when I get to it). Single action isn't bad at all. DA could be smoother.

Overall, I like it and the price was unbeatable for any J, let alone a scandium model. I'd buy another. I'd also like a steel version eventually.

Neon,

Nice Light J you have there. Wheel guns are my favorite handgun. Thought I'd just put in this suggestion for another possible steel revolver someday. (Well, not 100% steel. The frame is an aluminum alloy and the cylinder is steel).

I used to own this S&W Model 637 Enhanced Action in .38 Special + "P" caliber. The S&W Performance Center did an incredible job precision tuning this gun. DA trigger was very light, and the SA trigger was scary light. The original wood grips are beautifully-done in wood, too. But since I like the feel and stability of a Hogue Monogrip, I changed to those grips. And I really like the silver & black color combo. Like yours, the 637 is a great snubby for CCW. OK, just a suggestion to consider someday, since I know it's a quality revolver and really liked it.

Enjoy your Light J snubby!!

NH, nice snubbie! I really like that color and the grips.

Frankly, they all look pretty good, but then I am partial to revolvers so there may be some bias in my viewpoint.

To clarify, this is my only aluminum/scandium revolver (barrel and cylinder are nitrided steel)... It may not be my last. I do have steel revolvers... That's a different thread

Thanks. Nice to know.
