Favorite Snubbie?

My favorite (and most often carried) snubbies to carry are my Model 340s

However My All Time Favorite snubby is my plain old Austin Behlert 2 3/8" Model 25

This puppy can shoot and I have gotten very quick reloading it.
 
I guess I have two categories of "favorite". Those to carry, and those to collect.

For carry purposes, there is my old Mod. 649. We get along quite well. I like the extra steel weight for shooting.

For collecting, admiring, and occasional shooting, for my tastes, the Baby Chiefs Special is quite hard to beat.

Wow, tough to answer.

For nostalgia my Model 31 with TT & TH (my Grandmother taught me to shoot hers when I was 7).

From another nostalgic perspective, and one I occasionally carry, the 3" Baby Chiefs Special I rescued from the rust bin.

My edc: 640 Pro

The one I covet is Bill's nickel Baby Chiefs Special.

The S&W Model 10 2"

Had one for years. Traded it for an Airweight because I wanted a smaller, lighter snubbie. Always regretted doing so.
 
I like my 649-2 for all around. I can shoot single action with it if needed and the extra weight is welcome to me. I have Crimson trace grips on it. It is my daily pocket companion.
