Does anyone know if there are gun socks on the market for short and snub nose pistols? All I've found are at least 14" long and that looks almost empty with a snubby J or I frame in it. I mean cheap ones, not something that's 10 bucks each.
Handgun socks too long

I believe a product called Bore Stores come in smaller sizes. Don't know how much they cost.
I find the SackUps site confusing, but they are very nice on the phone. The 9" Model 203 is what you are looking for. If you want 3 or more, you might want to call them to see if they have a 3-piece package at a discount. (I know that they do for the longer pistol socks.)
They have a couple of sales going on right now, but I don't think posting coupon codes here is Kosher.
Ooops - just re-read the OP and these don't fit with his "cheap" criteria.

Wayne, you've seen how I store my guns in my safe...Each one in a silicone treated sack...I get mine from Amazon, I just have to check which is cheapest, and I buy enough to qualify for shipping included...
As for size, I would much rather have them too big, as it's very annoying to me to rummage through my stacks, and find one or some with the grips sticking out somewhat where they can be nicked in movement...I have no problem when there's extra room...You also saw how I tag each sock with the corresponding number from my log book...
Everybody's got a system, and that's mine...

Stitch 'em up the way you like 'em and cut off the excess.
Go to Wally World and buy you a bag of socks......They work just as well and are lots cheaper........Been storing my handguns in socks for over 20 years.
Thanks for sharing that. I needed a few more Sack-Up socks, and—after a quick search for their Instagram account—I just saved a few dollars.
I buy socks for rifles, cut them to length and sew up the ends.
When I put snubs in a gunsock, I just fold 'em over.
Only time it's an issue is when trying to save space in a very confined space. If that's your problem, well, maybe your wife has a sewing machine and could shorten the socks for you?

Look at MidwayUSA silicone treated soft pistol case. 5.00 or so. I use cheap pistol rugs. I treat the inside with silicone. Never a problem
Strange, my small pistols don't mind being in a slightly oversize gunsock. Doesn't seem to bother them in the least.

Amazon has silicone gun socks from different vendors in various sizes, even some for revolvers.

Wipe the handguns down every year or two with a lightly oiled cloth. Serves the same purpose as socks or other gimmicks. Same for long guns. I keep mine in a safe as most others do.

This!
The standard blue bags are very nice
but even better is if you move up to
Crown Royal Reserve. They are a bit
bigger but oh so nice in light tan color.
Might be a rule: Buy a bottle of Crown
Royal, then yoiu must buy a new gun.

Funny you should mention that..........Had a co-worker that liked Crown.....He brought me Crown Bags with draw strings.......I still have some snubs in them.
To quote a line spoken by your avatar, "My advice to you is start drinking heavily"...Get the 1.75 liter bottle of Crown. Geeze do I have to doo ALL the thinking for you guys

But who is impressed by a sock as opposed to a "Crown Royal Original Equipment Bag"?

I think I have enough Crown Royal bags on my dresser to make a quilt.

I've got a green one! I tell people it came from a special batch they made for Winners of the Masters
Gotcha
There was a member years ago who recommended them and that's where I stole the idea from. He hasn't posted in years and I can't for the life of me remember his name other that he lived in the south and did a lot of gun shows [emoji1]

I like these, but I miss having the outside label like Sack-Ups, so you can tell what is inside without having to unwrap it.
A highball glass with ice?
CR bags have been used to store handguns and fishing reels before Gun Socks were invented. You can also buy a spray can of silicone to treat common socks.
