S&W could have easily come out with another frame designation for the new J "magnum size" frame, but they decided to stick with calling it a J-Frame. The L-Frame is really nothing more than a beefed up K-Frame and the magnum size J-Frame is nothing more than a beefed up standard J-Frame.

Nice! Identical to my wife's 19. I have a blued 6" triple T Combat Masterpiece, and that is my favorite gun of all!
G-MAN, very nice video. Did you put that together and was that you talking?
Well, it was very well done.

Thanks. I did it for a gun blog I co-author with a friend of mine:

Nice blog. I would love to have a .22 Model 34 like Jay Pee displayed on the blog.
If I could only have one handgun, it would be the Smith & Wesson model 19 in .357, one of my first and still my favorite.
Thanks for the info about the frames, G-MAN. I didn't know they reworked the J for the magnum loads.
I got an M-1917 .45 ACP, is that an N frame? Kinda big.
Bob, G-MAN can neither confirm nor deny working for said alleged "agency" until 2021.
j/k

Huh? What makes you think I worked or work for an agency?
G-man is synonymous with the FBI
Yeah, but in this case it comes from a nickname given to me in college because I subscribed to GQ magazine. It started off as "GQ-man" and quickly became shortened to "G-man."

I like that. Sounds historical.
Now if I can just find the correct lanyard ring for it, I'll be ready to march off to the trenches to fight the hun.
