Built for your J-Frame
Holsters, grips and parts that fit the J-Frame, from S&W and other makers. Parts ship to your door where your state allows.
J-Frame models explained
The 642 and 442 are the same Airweight design with an enclosed hammer, so nothing snags on the draw; the 642 has a silver finish and the 442 a black one. The 637 has an exposed hammer you can cock for a single action shot, and the 638 has a shrouded hammer with just the spur showing. All four are aluminum alloy .38 Special revolvers rated for +P in our listings.
For .357 Magnum, the 640 (enclosed hammer) and the Model 60 (exposed hammer) are stainless steel, and the 340 and 360 have lighter scandium alloy frames; some versions also have titanium cylinders. The Model 36 is the classic blued steel .38. Most of our J-Frames have a 1.875 inch barrel; the Model 60 also comes with 2.125 and 3 inch barrels.
Calibers and capacity
The .38 Special and .357 Magnum J-Frames hold 5 rounds. Our listings also show the 432 and 632 in .32 H&R Magnum with 6 rounds, the 351 in .22 WMR with 7, and the 43, 63 and 317 in 22 LR with 8, which cost less to practice with. A .357 Magnum J-Frame also shoots .38 Special, which most people use for practice.
J-Frame holsters, grips and speedloaders
Holsters and grips are made by frame, so a J-Frame holster fits most J-Frame models of the same barrel length. Grips are made for the round butt or square butt frame, so check that on the listing; laser grips are listed for the round butt J-Frame. Speedloaders and speed strips sized for 5 rounds of .38 Special or .357 Magnum are listed above. Shop all speedloaders and moon clips.
Other S&W revolvers
For a bigger revolver with more rounds, see the K-Frame Model 19 and 66 and the L-Frame 686. For a pocket pistol in place of a revolver, see the Bodyguard 380.

Five in .38 Special, .357 Magnum and 9mm. Our listings also show 6 round .32 H&R Magnum, 7 round .22 WMR and 8 round 22 LR J-Frames.
Do J-Frame holsters fit every J-Frame?
Most J-Frame holsters fit J-Frames with the same barrel length, but a holster made for an exposed hammer, a laser or a longer barrel may not fit another model. Check the fitment line on each listing.
