I have a sickness called Snub Nosed Revolvers

[AJ]

I have a sickness that is called Snubbies. Not sure why I liked them, but I do. Sorry the picture is not to good, but am learning a new camera. The top piece is a 3.5 M27-2, next is a nickel M15-3 2", then a M36 and finally a M342.

J-Frame Snubs, my Favorite !!

I also have four snubs. They just feel, shoot and look so good. Only S&W is the 640-1. LCR 357, Rossi M685 and M88. They all make good CC guns.

Nothing else does what a snubbie does with the same sense of style.
Anybody here ever watch Get Smart. Don Adams almost always had a nice S&W J frame... either a Chief's Special or a Centennial, I seem to recall. That show really put snubbies on my radar (along with Barbara Feldon!) when I was a kid.
I read where Don Adams was given one of the Centennials as a gift when the show ended. A lot more Hollywood folks were gun guys back then.

There are many, far worse habits to have.

The only treatment for Snubbies is a visit to your favorite gun store.

I feel your pain, Brother. I really don't know haow many I have, never got them all out for a photo shoot probably a couple of dozen Smiths, and a dozen Colts. I'll be back later if I can put together a list. They are habit forming, and practical as well. I always have one on me.

PS...there is no cure.

Best Regards, Les

I only have 3, a 36 and two 640-1's, but I really like them all.

 

[Bob L]

I have three but hear more calling me. Currently have a 629-1, a 19-3 and a 36.

You're lucky. I have a sickness called Revolvers and Combat Shotguns.

The "Snub Bug" bit me a few years back. I can't explain it either. I think it was a natural progression from short barrel autos (Colt Commanders, Officers, Defenders, etc.). I OD'd on those. I think there's something about big power in a small container. These are some pictures I have on the phone. I might have a problem too.

Maybe you could trade that girlfriend in on an additional safe. But, we need pictures on this site!

 

[RobertJ.]

Two of my favorites. I know, the cylinders spin the wrong direction, but I still like them!

 

[MikeLeitner]

Snubbies are great... except when:
a) adj sights
b) N frame.
Something wrong about those. IMHO.

Welcome to the club!

Heck, I even consider my 3-inch GP100's to be snubbies!

You can hide a snubby much easier than a combat shotgun.
