The forgotten .38 snubby...

[dgludwig]

My two favorite carry concealed revolvers are two inch snub-noses; one is a 1966 vintage Colt Cobra and the other is a Smith rb Model 12-2. I like the idea of having six rounds in a relatively light-weight, compact package.

Ok I sinned.......

No sin. This is what the phrase "YMMV" was created to cover. Each of our individual preferences, as expressed in what we choose to buy, will vary. I can appreciate a beautiful blue M29 but I will not buy one (unless the deal is ridiculously good) because I do not want one. But, if you do, then more power to you. Your choices, even if different from mine, do not diminish me in any way.

Just reviewed this thread and I came to a new conclusion....

I wish S&W had made/would make a 2" M67.

I don't carry it too often but I sure do like it. I have many J's in many calibers but there is just something about a post-war pre-10 that is comforting.

Nothing so fancy left around here. This one is simple and works. She has trucked many a milie since 1984.

It was this thread that got me looking for a K Frame snubby.

And here it is, my new to me 10-5 !

 

[jimmyrabbit]

J.R. Weems––I like those smooth grips. How do you like the way they feel when you shoot that snubby? Are the grips available nowadays? I'm not at all sure that I'm responding to a specific picture; but the one I'm referring to is the stainless gun with the slider-thing on the rear that, I assume, would cock the gun for single-action firing.

When I carried concealed it was M36-1 (3" HB) IWB. If concealment was not an issue, 3" M66 with my badge clipped on the belt in front of it.

my 10-5 as it sits now.



Just found a pachmayer grip adapter and ordered it today. Still deciding on what magna grips to put with it. The hogue grip is comfy, just a bit large for concealed carry.

I like K-Frame snubs.

I have a nice little 10-5 2". I also have a 10-5 3" and a 10-5 4" to keep it company. Will eventually have both a 5" and 6" to round out my 10-5 collection/obsession.

Sorry about the pic quality. I'm definitely not one of the board's finer photographers.

Here's a K-Frame snubbie that I really enjoy carrying. It's a RB Model 64 DAO. It was just a corrections or security company gun that I bought online from J&G sales. I cleaned it all up and swapped out a set of old rubber grips for something a bit more appropriate for carry. It rides in a pancake holster and shoots like a champ.

I had always wanted a 2" M64. Some years back I traded into one. I recall at the time thinking: "2-inch barrels are for j-frames". I guess I just didn't love it as much as I thought I would. I traded it for a 3913 that I still have but have often thought about getting another. There are better guns out there for pocket carry (J's!) and other guns for me for belt carry (if I'm carrying IWB/OWB it's most likely an auto) but there's still something about a 2" K-frame that calls to me. This thread is like running that call through a microphone and amplifier!

BUY ANOTHER 2" M64......There you go

I probably should have kept this 64-2.
