So......Who loves BIG BORE Snubbies?

[johnnyflake]

It's New and it's not crazy expensive. It is a big bore and it does the job real good!

johnnyflake.....That Mag-na-port custom is the best looking S&W I've seen. That is an awesome bluing job.

My friend, I believe you have me mixed up with WC145

 

[Cocked & Locked]

pardon

You are right. The older I get the more I do that...duh.

CORRECTION: WC145 that is one handsome S&W with the best bluing I've seen.

 

[75Vette]

I added these two awhile back. I love 'em both!!

 

[DevilDog72]

I almost could not pass a pic of these awesome snubs without punching the " Like " button. They are all fantastic, however, the blued guns are very special indeed.
Ahhhhh what dreams are made of. I want one to replace my 19 snub as my EDC.... really.
My hat is off to all the owners of these fine weapons.

The ultra fine snubbies in this thread are never seen for sale in my area. You folks that are snatching these up are lucky! Truthfully,there are not many used older Smith's of any flavor to be found around here.

This thread inspired me to buy my first Lew Horton 24-3 back in 2014 when it was first started. glad to see it revised. I've been on the hunt for a 696 lately

More of my 629-5 .44 Magnum Lew Horton.

 

[Step N. Mud]

New one for me. Ordered some boot grips from Badger and a Simply Rugged Pancake holster, along with some cast 300 gr. bullets.

I do, I do

My big bore snubbies:

Group shot of most of the N frames

629-3 Carry Comp or Mag Comp from Lew Horton





629-6 Camfour





L Frame 696 (no dash)





Model 610 (its a 3 7/8 inch barrel so its borderline snubby)

Groo here
But FIND one!!!!!!!!!

 

[fdw]

There was an Ruger Alaskan that sat at the LGS for a long time. $600, I'm kicking myself I didn't jump on it.

Yes, they can be hard to find.

I finally found one on Gun Broker, in fact I have seen several on GB recently. I paid $409 and that's about what they are still asking for them.

 

[SilentKnight]

Oh my!! Now I am going to have to find another Big Bore snub. You guys are evil!! Great pictures.

 

[RobertJ.]

In a previous post, I stated I had two snubs that begin with a "4", but I only posted photos of my Colt NS.

That was a while back, and now, since this thread is still around, I'll show off my other one.

This actually gets carried quite a bit, in a Simply Rugged Sourdough Pancake. A friend of mine, who chops everything from guns to cars, had a gunsmith who specializes in target rifles trim this to 2.75". Then, he grew bored with it, and for a Ruger SP101 (that I was only into for $300!) and a hundred bucks it became mine. Definitely one of my better trades.

I like it because it's impervious to any weather I carry it in, it'll handle any load I decide to put through it, and it's big enough to handle anything I might encounter. The group photo is him with his fellow .44's, a 629-4 and a Contender.

Dunno if I've showed them here yet:

Some of mine

Since I have no "big bore" snubbies (defined as bigger than .357") , I'll just share the snubbies I do have and carry. I used to have a variety of them to include Model 29 and 629 versions in 3", I never found them practical to carry. I use Remington 125 grain Golden Sabers in the L Comp, and carry it in a Sparks PMK. In the Model 27-2 I use American Eagle 158 grain JSP.

Model 586+ L-Comp with Spegel grips. My favorite carry gun.

Nine 696s (eight of which were no-dash), nine 24-3s, a 3" m57, 3" m29, and a 3" Charter Arms Bulldog. I kind of like the big bore snubbies as well.

So THATS where they are all hiding

 

[BC38]

I guess I've taken a bit of a liking to them.
I've added 3 in the last year - but none of them are Smiths.
Astra Terminator 2-3/4" in 44 magnum
Ross 44102 - 2-1/2" in 44 magnum
Charter Arms Bulldog - 3" in 44 special

 

[Arkiepup]

I Do!

I do, but I only have two. A 41 Mag S&W 657 LH in 3" and a Ruger TALO 44 Mag New Model SBH with the 3.5".

Very enviable collection that you have there Dan. I would love to find one of the 657-3 versions for myself.
