Favorite Snubbie?

[Bhfromme]

Let's have some fun talking about your favorite 2" Smith revolver. Do you like the Airweights like the 12s and 37s or do you like more weight like the 15s and 627s. And what are some of the lesser known 2 inchers? I'm in the market for a couple of little guys and would love to hear from all you snubbie lovers out there. Extra credit for pictures!

My current favorite carry is this 940.

I like my 438. I like the hammer - able to shoot single action but no bur to catch when drawing. It works for me.

This one currently....

 

[Donn]

My homely, old Model 49.

Something about a shorty 686

Something about a shorty 686

Yes there certainly is

Depends on what you want to use the gun for. Anything larger than a J-frame snubnose is more difficult to conceal, but K-frame and larger are far easier to shoot well.

I've got a pair of 642s that get carried.

I used to have a 2" 64 that was nice. Carried it quite often.

However, as I've said many times before, my grail gun is a 640ND. Someday finances and opportunity will align so I can get one.

I'm a big fan of the model 38 and 49 Bodyguards.

Ok, Don't shoot! But my all time favorite snubby is my 3rd Issue Colt Detective Special. Its big enough to shoot very well, yet small enough for easy carry and concealment. I just never could shoot a J-frame very well as its too small for my hand.
Having said that, due to the Colts rising value, my most frequently carried snub is my S&W 642.

My favorite is my 15-3. To me it represents the Classic of all time 38 snub nose.

 

[CH4]

Since others aren't strictly playing by the 2" rule, here are my favorite <3" snubbies

2" 15s
2" 342PD
2.5" 686-4+
2.5" 66/19
2" 60 (my dad's retirement gun)

 

[ImDrRich]

I'm quite partial to my Model 60 from 1965.

 

[Luvmine]

Hopefully 2.125 counts. 640 Pro.

My 60 that has no dash, but I know it aint a no dash.
