Anyone like snubbies?

[JP@AK]

Spring is here. It's 45 degrees and sunny. So I let some of the snub nose babies out of the safe and allowed them to go out and enjoy the sunshine for a while.
Here are a couple pics:

L to R.
Model 19-3 (1973); .38 M&P (1947); Model 64 (1975); Model 36 (1964); .22/32 Kit Gun (1958).

What, me like snubbies?
I'd love to make a holster for that 19-3 and hang that beauty on my belt.

Yes. That is a well-loved revolver. Still only has a few very minor nicks and scratches. But it gets used.

I'm a big fan of snubbies.With my vision, it is easier for me to focus on a front and rear sight that is close together rather than far away from each other as on the long tubes.
Now I'm looking for a M625-3 3" to go with my present collection of 7 Smith snubbies.

Nothing wrong with "snubbies", just personally don't care for them. Have shot many, but don't like anything shorter than 3". In 1976 I bought a mod. 36 w/3" HB and currently have a mod 37, 3" & 60-15 w/3". Also don't care for any rev. w/a barrel over 6". Just MO.

Does the bear walk in the woods.

Poop! That's "poop" in the woods"!

Yes! We do like em! My 10-5 police issue snubbie is 'out for delivery' as I type!

Here's my "Snubby Stable" in chronological order. I got all these in distressed condition and did some rework and dolled them up a bit.

I have in the works a .44 New Service that wil have a 3" barrel. Looking for 1917 S&W as a new project.

Did anyone notice there are four different decades represented here? I need to add one from the 1930s. I suspect that one will be bit more difficult to find. Don't bother looking to me for an example from the 1980s. I don't do 1980s . . . at least not after 1982.

Jack, Very nice group of guns.
How did the M&P shoot for you?

I've posted these cousins before but might fit here...

What year is your centennial? It looks like a pre 40. It is beautiful.

Here's my mid-60's 10-5 soakin' up some rays. It's even peeling a little bit in front of the cylinder, sorry to say.

Here's my daily companion. It's always sunny in NM. Maybe not always, but mostly.
