Default Gun Sock for Small Revolvers

Is there a silicone gun sock made to fit 2 inch barrel snub nose guns? Gun socks made to fit all handguns are too big for snub nose revolvers for quick extraction.

Thanks.

Gun socks are made for storage and they are of a larger size to accommodate different barrel lengths. Suggest a zipper pouch as they come in sizes if you want quick access as assuming you mean from a stationary location.

All of my revolvers are stored in gun socks so overall length is not an issue for me....

So, I'll ask a dumb question...

Is there a particular reason that you require "quick extraction" of a revolver from the gun sock?

I also find that having a hammerless (or bobbed hammer) revolver to be beneficial for quick (quicker) extraction regardless of the gun sock length.

I use those black ankle high crew you get at walmart. Spray a little of your favorite gun preserving lube inside and you're good to go.

I have been using Bore Stores for a long time and have been satified with them. Lately I have picked up some Allen Gun Socks however anything you put in those will be a tight fit, not easy to remove quickly.

Cut it to the length you want and sew the end or just tie a knot in the end.

A lot easier to make shorter than longer.

My question too. Gun sock and "quick extraction" do not go hand in hand, or foot in foot, ha,ha.

Aren’t the socks supposed to be used in shoes? (i.e. holsters)

Ok, ok... :P

Thanks for these responses. There is no such thing as a dumb question.

The gun is owned by a friend in his upper 80’s with a good working mind. He owned it for 15-18 years. Fired under 20 rounds with it, and never cleaned it. He lives on social security and had very limited funds. He keeps the gun in a drawer at home unloaded wrapped in a clean handkerchief. He will never fire the gun without necessity but wants it for home defense.

I volunteered to clean the gun for him. I did so, and noticed the beginning of rust formation and one screw was almost frozen. I thought that I would buy him a silicone treated gun sock. I have regular handgun socks for a couple of guns, and note that they aren’t easy to extract from because of their size. That’s the reason for my main question.

My friend simply does not have enough money to spend on gun socks or to fire the gun for entertainment or practice. If he did, he has no interest in learning at this late age how to clean a revolver. When I return his gun, it will simply go back into the drawer wrapped in a handkerchief. It seems like a short silicone treated gun sock would be better.

Thanks again for the replies.

Saturate the hanky with silicone spray, or Rem Oil, although rem oil might be too messy. I'd suggest a good coat of wax on the gun before returning it.

He has made it this far with the hanky. Why change now?

It sounds like you are a good friend, why not just make a date to go over and have coffee and clean his gun once a year?

Good luck in your search.

I have some but can’t seen to recover the brand.
As already posted, regular socks work just fine.
I have used them for years with no problems.
I should mention I was in Dry Climates!
Just cover the gun with your fav protective coating.

I like a product called Bore Stores inexpensive and silicone on the inside, I think they are still in business and you can order on line I have some smaller ones that fit the snub

Just an observation......if speed of deployment is critical, then why is the gun unloaded? How is a silicone gun sock going to speed this process?

Bore Stores come in different sizes and look similar to a flap holster, so I think this is what you seek.

I buy rifle length gun socks. I then cut them to the length I want and use a tie wrap to close one end. Depending on the length of your revolvers, one rifle sock can protect lots of revolvers for way less money than buying them individually.

I store my 2" J's in Crown Royal bags from a friend. Each bag has a draw string to cinch it closed. Cheap foot socks work well too.
