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

image_zps2ywopu0h.jpg
 
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. :(
 
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.

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 27-2, 3.5", Spegel grips in Thad Rybka holster




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

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
