Do these Guns fit the Defintion of a Snub?

[Peak53]

WHY ARE THERE NO PICS IN THIS THREAD?

You beat me to it. I have a 60-18 and that 5" barrel is hard to hid in my jean pockets.

 

[k22fan]

Good that you mentioned that.

I need an ankle holster for my 12" 1858 Remington Buffalo snub.

Where can I get one?

Red Wing Boot Store.

 

[RobertJ.]

a snub has to be a J, K, or D frame with a barrel no longer than 2". There is no such thing as a N frame snub, or a Colt OP snub, or a Python snub. Taurus and Rossi make snubs, but I consider them beneath true snubby contempt, and do not include them

How about...

Super Redhawk Snubby!

 

[YeshuaIsa53]

Model 15-3 snubbie.

 

[pharmer]

Anything that fits in an ankle holster is a snubbie. You might find one for your 3 1/2" 27 but you ain't running with that rig. Joe

So what do you guys think is the best oil to run in my Ford F250? Hey just trying lighten things up a bit. What I have learned from this thread is that even if I cut 6 inches off of my 460 XVR's barrel it would not be considered a snubbie. And then there is the question of what I would be considered if I did it. Lots to think about.

 

[flundertaker]

2.5" barrel or less is a snub. 3"+ is midsize, 5" + is full size.

 

[DAinTX]

I'm with those who say:

2" in a J.
2 1/2" or less in a K.
3 1/2" in an N. (And I've questioned myself about this one).

It's about proportion to the frame for me, and I have always seen the above as the "snub" proportions, by frame.

 

[raylan007]

Is that a 5" barrel your packing or are you just happy to see me?

 

[Andrew2105]

Each to his own of course, (here I go off topic) I have always felt that adjustable sights on a 2-3 in barreled revolver are an affectation along with target grips, trigger shoes etc.

 

[ginzo]

I'm leaning toward J-Frame 2" or less. Something you can pocket carry. Every size has its place. I have different carry sizes for different conditions, depending on how I have to dress.
Disclaimer: these 2 are newer than 1980
I'm a little prejudice.

638-3


649-3

 

[bigwagon]

What question was that the answer to?

 

[Twiki357]

The guys on the 155's said that my 105 was a snubbie.

 

[k22fan]

What question was that the answer to?

The 60-18 5" J frame .357 was to provide a center fire revolver for shooters with small hands. I suspect a lot of them are used with .38s to start youngsters shooting.

I can't believe that we're still talking about this. This is the 21st century people. The attitudes of blatant snubbists can no longer be tolerated! Any gun who feels it is a snub should be accepted as a snub.
Terms like j,k, and n-framed; 2, 2 1/2, 3, 3 1/2, 4, 5, 6, and 8 3/8" barreled; do nothing but cause pain for those "differently framed or barreled".
There is absolutely no reason that a 8 3/8" n-frame should be excluded from wearing an in-waist holster if that is where it feels comfortable. If it sees itself as a 2" j-frame - so be it.
Let's do away with the hate and strive for inclusion of all guns

Now thats funny, I don't care who you are.

 

[BAM-BAM]

If it has a full length ejector rod, it is not a snubbie as far as I am concerned.

A new way to look at it ........ with some merit IMHO!!!!

The IJKLN&D Coalition agree......

now you'll have to excuse me......I need to go chose a frame I can "identify" with!!.......today!

 

[BE Mike]

To be politically correct, snub is a term frowned upon these days. The preferred term is "little guns".

 

[Biggfoot44]

A Snub is whatever you think it is. The M60-18 is a modern example , but around the turn of 20th cen , long bbl small frame round butt revolvers were common.

Old Bear brought up the question of being "particularily Suitable for concealed carry" , but that is a seperate question. My 2.75in .44Mag , and origional big bore Fitz Specials are definately snubs.

But at my opinions : 2.5 and 2.75 definately are snub. 3.0 inch is split in public opinion , but are good concealed carry guns ( at least in small and medium frame sizes ).

While I aprecate the fine lines of 3.5in M27 , I have always thought of it as its own thing , and not a snub.

 

[wheelgunguy]

They're yours. You get to decide what to call them. Heck call them Fred and Ethel if you like. I aint gonna argue with you.

For me it's under 3 inches.
