You're a snubbie fanboy when...
- Thread starter Shorty 45 MK2
- Start date
I have informally coined the term "J-hound." I've already listed your handle on our membership rolls. The club secretary, 'snubbyfan,' will have your membership card on its way to you after the holiday weekend.
To add to the above list: You know you're a J-hound when:
You take more time choosing a J-frame for that day than choosing your tie.
You show photos of your cats while others post photos of their guns.
You exchange cylinders between Js more often than the bandit Tuco (Eli Wallach) did in "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly."
(Sorry, TucsonMTB!)
You shoot J-snubs at 100 yds and more. And hit!
You buy literally every snub in your state (MA) so that almost none reach me here in Vegas (Take that, KLYDE!)
You carry a 342 in your jacket pocket even when you're not wearing a jacket (KLYDE, me)
You don't needlessly display your J to strangers in LGS's; you carry it discreetly as the life-preserving tool it is.
I'll try to come up with more.

A M10-5 2", a M19-4 2.5" and a M27-2 (does 3.5" count as a snubbie?).
AND, I still love my wife even though she's a Colt fan; her .32 S&W Long and .38 SPCL. Detective Specials are 1970's vintage.
I have to admit I like them too. A lot.

I keep a box of 38s in the car so If I get time to sneak off to the range during work hours i can shoot my carry snubbie.
Is a 3" 624 a snubbie? I am getting one soon.

Well heck...Guilty on all counts. I no longer have the X frame snub that came in the "Bear Survival Kit(?)" Since it became worth more than it meant to me and I sold it...Otherwise, guilty as charged!
Guilty as charged, your honor.
You might add: You enjoy all of the S&W Forum posts by Kaaskop49.

22. You've had revolvers with long barrels custom trimmed to the snub length of your own choosing.
I've done it, and have at least one more slated for the chopping block! And I'm guilty of more than just a couple in that original list.

OMG, I didn't know we were supposed to count Colt snubbies, too! What about H&R?

...when you re-barrel a perfectly good 625-4 with a 2" barrel.

Very impressive, especially the items at 4:00 through 6:00 on your remarkable "snubby clock".I'm guilty
Well done, sir!
Great minds work alike! Cool post! My only question, Dave, is why you chose such a long bbl as a replacement...
Some folks on the Forum write: "If there are no photos, it doesn't exist." I opine: "If it can't fit in a pocket, it doesn't exist."
Best wishes and happy holiday!

Does #1 mean "at the same time?"

I think it's important to note that you don't have to own 50 snubbies in order to be a "snubbie fanboy".
I should know, I own but one!
That's enough to put you in the club!
