Lucky for me I'm not often attacked by beer cans.
I am sometimes threatened by broadsides of barns.

You are lucky. I've had more than a few beer cans attack me and do a good imitation of an Alien face-hugger.

My J frame is my “deep cover” gun, when pocket carrying a P365 would be too big.

Ha ha.

See:

P3AT. What is close in weight and size?

Was looking for a P3AT, but not really finding anything. What is close in size and weight? A .380 or 9mm is smallest I'd like to go. Kahr? Anything else? Otherwise, I might consider the next slight step up to a LC9S or something, but those are like another level bigger. Same with Glock, Sig...

I like the P365 and the Kahr PM9, but still seem bigger than this (or P3AT).

SW 337 air weight Ti is a go to for me.

My primary carry is an Airweight 637-2 lightened up with a titanium .357Mag cylinder reamed for 9mm. Ammo is 147gr jhp xtp

I've been carrying my 360pd for a month or 2, it's really convenient but hopefully I don't miss on shot one with 357mag loaded haha, tho to quote Omar "This caliber? from this distance? Even if I miss I can't miss"

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, my son, practice. Same thing to not miss with your snubbie.

Hello everyone. I just got a prelock 11oz S&W model 342. This has been my dream CCW pistol for a long time now. I'd like to hear from those of you who own a super lightweight J frame and from all of you who carry a J-frame each & every day.
Thanks,
smitty

Thanks Smitty, enjoy the gun.

Okay, I must have asked or seen this before, but what is the difference between 342 and 642. Is it titanium versus steel cylinder?

I see a 342 for sale for more than a new 642, and that might explain why. Anything to check for on these? Guessing titanium (if that is the answer to the first question) should last as long as steel, plus be more corrosion resistant. Does this all sound right?
