Let's see your K-frame snubbies

I love to show my 15-3 snubbie off.

My new 19-5

Picked this one up a couple weeks back for a bargain. Purchased it to flip it since I generally like the stainless autos and older revolvers, but she grew on me real quick and I can't commit to decommit just yet. Next step will be to see if I can find some proper wood or bone for her and then see how I feel.

I am a K frame guy. At present I only have two 'snubbies' and they are three inch. The M-65 4" in the picture may be a Snubby soon. I picked up a new 3" barrel with the plan of replacing the 4"...............since then I have been having second thoughts............still not sure which way to jump. But, for what they are worth, here's mine. I probably carry the M-13 more than the other two. Keep shootin'

I will help keep it going.

15-3 definitely used but excellent mechanically.

I love K frame snubbies, but my collection of them is sort of weird.



I've ended up with (the gun that started it all) being the nice pre-10 that had hogues on it, so right now it is wearing some jigged bones. Thats on the left. Going clockwise:

Pre-12, alloy cylinder. Lots of wear, supposedly an old Chicago police detective's gun. Seems shootable (but I never will). I have nicknamed it my S&W Hand Grenade.

Model of 1902 1st Change re-barreled at some point in it's life to make it a snubby. It's great.

Pre-War (sorta) shipped post war. Someone upgraded the sights. Very odd gun. Shipped August of '46. Actually an S range gun, except that the S is stamped on the frame under the stocks.

And because of my random luck, another Pre-War, shipped post war, also August of '46. This one though is not S range, it does have the pre-war serial range on it.

I still need a proper high condition pre-war (that shipped pre-war) Snubby, and a really nice high polish half moon round butt (so that the beautiful set of round butt K frame rosewoods I found have a place to live).

Then I will be content.

(no, not really, I'll happily own all the Snubby K frames and buy them until I die).
