The Ideal N Frame Snubbie...

[senecaap]

I'm with the steel 24 3" crowd, though I would like to see a fixed sight variant. I like fixed sights but I hate the 1/2 moon front sight, my eyes work better with a ramp style front.

 

[John wilson]

My one and only snub.

My choice for an N frame snubbie is my .45 acp 625..

My N-frame snubby of choice:

Great combo of firepower, capacity, and balance. I wish it had a more rounded rear sight, but not at the expense of the adjustable feature - too varied of types of ammo employed.

Wow, Mike, you got some big mitts

Here is my snubbie, a 629 PC model.

I'm glad you mentioned the C&S replacement sight as I have been getting annoyed with the adjustable sights hanging up on my pocket. I may just have to get a set of the fixed sights.

I'm not a huge fan of the grips that came on my 629. I tried some Pachmayrs but they reduced my trigger reach too much.

Here is the 310NG in a Lobo Leather OWB holster. Great for winter wear under a coat. I have installed "the plug", C&S firing pin and Miculek spring kit. It fuctions flawlessly with an 8 lb. DA trigger pull.

[revolvergeek]

I am quite partial to this one myself; 3" 29-3 with a SDM Gold Bead front sight.

A couple of questions for you, Sir, if you please?

Which Lobo holster is that? I've been looking at Lobo for a while now for a holster for my 629PC.

What is "the plug"?

 

[cooperduper]

This one suits me fine

Only 3200 made, I think.

 

[nawilson]

What is "the plug"?

After removing the internal lock from a new Smith, you "plug" the whole on the side with a device called the Plug which is for sale right here on the Forum. It is more a matter of aesthetics than function, but the folks that have it seem to like it. Try using the search function, and I am sure you can find more.

This is my favorite of all time. I worked Katrina claims in New Orleans with one of these in my pocket at all times.

 

[roundgunner]

I find it hard to choose just one. It depends on what I'm wearing and how much weight I feel like hauling around and if I feel like more shots or bigger boolits that day.

625-10

629-6

627-5

 

[Rangerone]

I prefer the all steel guns. My N snubbie is a 24-3.

Who made that holster?!

I think I just found my next purchase...

 

[WC145]

I know, I know, everybody's seen it before but here it is again. My favorite/ideal N-frame snubby is this Behlert M25-2.

And posing with a Behlert Mini .45.

 

[bamabiker]

WC145, I'll never get tired of seeing those two.

Rangerone, that looks like one of keith44spl's(Dave) holsters.

 

[Anton Chigurh]

I sure wish Pachmayr would make N frame Compac Pros. They feel great on K/L frame guns, and with the multitude of RB N frames out there, they would sell a few. But they seem about as progressive as rain forest tribes.
Nice guns everyone, BTW. Should post pics of my two PC 2 5/8 ers, the 627 and 629.

 

[BlackSky]

Pretty close to ideal for me would be an N frame snubbie Airweight (alloy), round butt, 9 or 10 shot, .327 Magnum, sights like the Night Guard series, 3" or 3.5" barrel and blued (not black).
