Well, maybe I'm nit picking when someone wrongly calls a magazine a clip, but can we agree on some terms?: You're calling a 3.5" inch barreled revolver a snubbie when that barrel length is more commonly accepted as a service revolver. In fact I can't find a gun site that calls a 3.5" a snubbie.
gunnersden.com, "Before we discuss the guns themselves, let’s talk about what a snubby revolver even is. What is a snub nose revolver? A snub nose revolver, also known as snubby or snubbed nose revolver is a 5 or 6 shot revolver with a barrel that is two inches in length or less."
revolverguy.com says a snub is "short barrel under 3 inches." and defines 3" and up as a "service gun."
usconcealedcarry.com says, "A snub-nosed revolver is any small, medium or large frame revolver with a short barrel, which is generally 3 inches or less in length."
"It varies from 2.5″ to 1.66″ with 2″ the most common in the 20th Century."
guns.com, "The definition of a snub nosed revolver is any such gun with a barrel of 3-inches or less."
Gun Digest says, "The snubnose revolver, often affectionately called a snubby, or simply snub, is usually defined as having a barrel of two inches or less."
The highroad.com, "Ruger likes 2.75-inch while S&W favors the 2.5-inch although pushing some out to 2.625".
One could go on.
