at least they don't have the stupid lock hole in the side of the frame.
/\ YES /\
I like every thing about those two guns pictured in post #4 - except the chambering.
From the viewpoint of a good concealed carry/pocket gun - those are just about perfect examples of snubnose revolvers.
Lightweight alloy frames that are rust proof and easy to carry.
Slick, snag proof internal hammer DAO design
Excellent boot grips that don't make that small gun any larger than it needs to be. They fill the area between the trigger guard and front strap of the grip frame but don't make the gun too big. The grip material is a also a plus and very durable.
Those sights are VERY good and one of the best features.
If they made that gun with all of those features and chambered it in 38 Special - they would have an unqualified winner.
NOW, if they (Lipsey) took that J-frame and fitted it with a 4" barrel and the same sights, maybe bigger grips (it's no longer a pocket gun with a 4" barrel) they would also have a winner kit gun in 32 H&R Mag. That would be a lightweight kit gun with a durable finish and a chambering appropriate for that use.
