Lots of people carry a j-frame, smart people, people you would know. I'm not saying I am carrying a snubnose, but I could be carrying a snubnose. People like a j-frame, you like it, I like it, everybody likes it.
Seriously, small light, effective, reliable, a great, great carry gun.
A J-frame with a shrouded hammer is such a versatile carry gun. It's light, reliable, a d with the right cartridges - powerful. I can get all 5 rounds out to center of mass faster with a my 642 than any of my automatic ccw guns and never need to worry about a jam. Reloading under stress requires a lot of practice though, especially with those super easy to carry "speed strips".
The only jam I ever had with it was using "BLAZER" ammo. The recoil (in such a light gun) made a bullet jump forward of the crimp so the cylinder wouldn't rotate. Moral of the story.... don't use Blazer ammo.
