Tikka;
In the center-fire calibers, the J frames are all 5 shot. The J is an updated version of the I, which is no longer made. I should dig out my Smith material, but I'm getting pressed for time & am relying on the ever-suspect memory.

The I and J frames were originaly small frames for the .32 S&W Long Cartridge. They were changed to 5 shots in .38 Special only.
