Just the one, but a local shop with a couple 325PDs has my interest.

I've got this one too, it's not quite a snubby, which is why I did not put into my original post. This is a commercial 1917 in .45ACP with the barrel snipped to 4". I imagine some old time copper must have really known what he wanted and had this gun cut down from the original 5.5":
Nice looking revolver. I have a fondness for the 4” tapered barrel in 45 ACP. Carried one when I wore a badge. Still have a few.

A Hand Full
Sorry no nice Pictures from this guy.
My Circa late 90's S&W Model 696-1 44Rem Spl Cartridge,
Stainless Steel, Swing-Out Cylinder, Hand Ejector, 3" Barrel,
Adjustable Rear Sight, Round Butt Grip Frame with the
Original Uncle Mike's Black Hard Rubber Grips. Product Code
103132, Serial Number CDL49... Bought in Spring 2018 New
in the Box, Factory Fired Only. Sat in someone's Safe all
these Years.
Just fun to Shoot with my 240gr Lead Round Nose Flat Point
Bullets (with Red Dot Power).
At the Range again yesterday, I've found out again, that the
3"Bbl is very unforgiving at Long Distances. At 10 yards its
Dead On.
Like all my Guns it's in a Good Home and treated very Carefully.

Big Bore Snubbies, I'll play!!
This is a thread I can really relate to. I can't explain what it is that draws me to them, but I must have them, ALL.
A few photos, not nearly as nice as some of you have posted. First, my display in Charlotte in 2017, next my UDR's. the rest are in no particular order.
Best regards, Bob.

Here are my two ham hock slingers... The blued M29-3 Lew Horton Special and my stainless M629-5 "Mountain Back Packer" both in .44mag/spec. The LHS wears OEM Combats and the MBP sports a brand new pair of Culina "Combats"... I've gotten really good at staging both triggers to the point that 95% of all shots touched off are effectively in single action... making for a very accurate pair of Heavy Hitters. I run medium sauce 240's thru the LHS and the 300 to 305 grain pills I love to shoot are reserved for the "Endurance Package" equipped MBP that I bought specifically for popping steel and "Woods Carry"... (that is when I get to actually do these activities now days that is.) I love them both and the 3" N frame is my favorite handgun of all time for its versatility, carry-ability, and capability.
Nice pics in this thread fellas! Keep them coming...

I like it man! 3&3/8ths inch is an interesting barrel length but it works for this particular rig and looks really good. The front and rear sights you can tell was performed by a professional as well. Thanks for posting!
