Big Bore Snubbies
You can tell not many people like big bore snubbies by the number of posts in just a short period.
.
All of mine start with a "4" in the caliber too !
.
Night Guards: 396-357-329-325
.
M69 Combat Magnum
.
460XVR 3-1/2" PC
.
...but NOT this one!

I guess mine will not qualify as "big bore" but they sure are reliable and fun!The Model 60 ( 38 cal ) has a 1 5/8" barrel and the Model 19 and Model 66 both are 357s with 2" barrels
Only one that might qualify as "loved":
24-3 ordered from Lew Horton's and carried just about every day for several years straight. Usually in a Rogers breakfront paddle holster (broke ~ three of 'em!). Every once in a while in a ******* shoulder rig.
But conceptually my favorite is this Webley Bulldog .45:
Tiny for its bore size!

Sorry no pics as the best I can do is a model 19 & 36 in snubbies and I don't think my 8 3/8 inch model 29's qualify. I do like that model 610 snubbie and should add one. Now a 657 would be nice for evening wear.

Guys those are all some beautiful snubbys!
Yep - .44Spl. on the snubs.
I'll carry full .44Mag. loads in brown bear country but, it's no fun to "plink" with 'em.

I love the stags and T on this one

The Model 27-2 may not technically be a "snubbie", since the barrel is 3.5". But it carries just as easily as the Model 24-3. Short enough!!

Big Bore Snubbies. N frames less than 4 inches ?
I remember a day when 3 inch Stainless Smiths circulated through the shows
for $500. or so.
Persons would much rather buy longer barreled guns.
Go figure.
Today, short barreled revolvers ( S.B.R.s) are all the rage.
I appear to have 3 original 625s in 45 Colt, 2 in 45 A.C.P.
3 that have been caliber converted and 1 that has been cut down.
9 in 45 Caliber in all.

Love the thread. So many nice pieces with HD pictures.
I'd love them to make a snub 500 again. I know about the ES, but that's unlikely to happen again. Something like the 460XVR PC chambered in 500 would force me to allocate funds immediately.

I've had a good many snubs in calibers starting with a four...I only have a couple now. One is a Lew Horton 624 and the other is a Rossi 720c. The Rossi is a medium frame, five shot, stainless revolver with fixed sights and DAO with bobbed hammer. It has been a very reliable revolver with a smooth and light trigger action. I am not usually enthusiastic about Taurus and Rossi guns but this particular revolver is as good as any S&W or Colt I have owned.
Wow, some of these snubs are beautiful. I feel like a red headed step child. I love the big bore snub but I carry a Charter Bulldog in 44 special and I reload for it. One day I would love to pick up a smith snub in 44 special. It makes me want one even more now. They are so beautiful!

I'm trying in to like this.
3" N balance is weird for me.
44 special is the limit in a 3 inch snub for my old bones.
But, dang it looks good.
you need some tyler-ts for thath thing
