J frame.....hmmm.....wasn't thinking wheelguns. When I replied that the CW9 was my "second" gun purchased for carry--and my favorite--I wasn't thinking wheelguns. The very first gun I bought for the sole purpose of concealed carry when I got my CC permit 12 years ago was the Smith 642. Which actually, is my #2 favorite.I had 42, 43, cm9, cw9, 365xl but i keep going back to j frame and lcr
