I never feel outguned when I'm carrying my Airweight 642..
Loaded with the Standard Velocity 125gr Federal Nyclads..
I'm Told that the first step in the 12 step program is to admitt you have a problem..
I DO!@! I Love Snubs..

I still Wanna Know who the Guy is who has the only 942??

Still Looking for a 3" K Frame M547 9mm
Gary/Hk

Gary, the guy that received the 942 was Wiley Clapp, the gunwriter, according to the S & W Standard Catalogs. I'd be curious to see it and wonder if he still has it. I'll bet it's a handfull; I had a 940 once and it kicked like a government mule to me. I prefered .357's out of a 640-1 to that and sold it. Didn't like the extraction issues either. But, like you, I love snubbies!

I have a 3 1/2" 27, but no way is it a snubby. Joe

I purchased my first Snubbie this weekend at a local gun show. It's the as yours, jpz. I'm psyched and think it is just beautiful...love this little gun. Can't wait to take it to the range and get a feel for my new revolver.

Some of these pictures make me envious. I've only got two snubbies, an M36 and M60 round butt, 1 7/8" barrels.

Damn, I love'm!

Well, here's my two cents worth, since I've learned to post pics here just yesterday.....do three inch Model 13's count as snubbies?

Did you polish those three model 60s yourself? They look as shiny as that model 36! What did you use? Flitz?

MY snubbies. Mod 36, Mod 60 with Executioner stags, Mod 36 Nickle square butt, Mod 19 with Executioner stags.

This probably doesn't count because it's not a Smith...

Yep, I love the little J frames. The older 60's generally look a bit dull by now, so I prefer to brighten them up by hand with a little Flitz or Simichrome.

Sip,
Even though it's not a Smith, I think your snubbie should still count since it's such a nice one!

Cocked & Locked · #**122** 08-08-2009, 06:47 PM

60-1 from 1986...660 made for Ashland with adjustable sights.

Dennis The B · #**123** 08-08-2009, 07:01 PM

Since my last post, I added the two Model 15-3's

LoneStarWings · #**124** 08-09-2009, 12:17 AM

My first revolver:

This is a brand new M&P 340, with only 80 rounds through it; 50 .38 specials and 30 .357 magnums. It's a pussy cat with the .38's and actually not as bad as I expected with the .357's. Great gun, and with a CHL on the way soon (I hope) I should have a good niche for it.

toroflow1 · #**125** 08-09-2009, 12:41 AM

N frame "clock" with L frames in the middle:

Pair of 36s "Chief's Special Target" (= adjustable sights). one from about 1966 (2"), and the 3" from 1975 (one of 211):

I know I'm probably in the wrong place to ask this but I have two S.W. nos. AAZ67** and AYP42**and would like to know their D.O.B? Or please tell me where to post this question.

Black_Sheep · #**127** 08-09-2009, 11:26 PM

Here's the 36.

No, it doesn't count because it has about 20 inches of extra barrel

But perhaps his idea of a carbine is a Barrett M82A1 50BMG

armybass · #**133** 08-11-2009, 07:53 AM

I only have four at the moment.

Here are my M36 and M34 from top to bottom.

Here is my M15-3 under a M10-5 4"

And my M65 3"

I will be picking up a 3" M36-1 next week and a 2" M10-5 two weeks later. The snubbie thing seems to be growing on me and I did not see it coming.

It is very insidious and pernicious. Just wait until you start getting really good shooting them, there will be no stopping it or you then...
but there are worse ailments and afflictions.

Hi all,
I picked up my first Mod 37-1 Airweigth snubbie last weekend at the
West Palm Beach Gun Show. I have owned a Mod 36 & 60 in the past and always regret selling them. So when I saw this little Airweight I had to have it.
The price was right and it's like new ( only a ding on the left grip ).

Can anyone help with date of manufacture, BDA70xx

Thanks, Dan

Engine49guy · #**137** 08-11-2009, 11:32 PM

I understand having 19 Smith snubs..
What I dont get is 19 smith 19 snubs.
Do they all have different dash numbers or something?
Its no wonder I cant find any at the shows.....
All kidding aside, Awesome collection.

It's only 18, 19 would be crazy.

Eight of them are 66's

Yes, that's part of it. And then 2-1/2 & 3" in the 66's, and different features (sights, etc.) in the 19's. Then of course there's the shooter and the safe queens. I think there was areason I chose the user name I did.

That serial number looks to be late 1988 or early 1989.

That's in great shape, still has the stickers on the frame.

Thanks snw19_357, it is a sweet little revolver.
How do you guy's find the info for dating S&W's? Because I have a bunch of them in the safe.

Thanks,Dan

You can also call S&W customer service at 800 331-0852 with your serial number and they can give you a ship date.

They can only give you exact dates on more recently manufactured guns with multiple letter prefixes. On older guns, the Std. Catalog will give you an approximate year. If you are an SWCA member, Roy Jinks can give you a month and year in short order. If you are willing to pay $50 for a factory letter and wait a month or so, an exact date and "to whom shipped" can be secured.
