Like the title says, I love snub nose revolvers. I think I’m up to 14 now and still looking.

Besides snub nose I’ve taken a shine to 32 Long guns. I traded a near new nickel 37 snub nose to a friend for his unfired 1953 Colt Cobra 32 which just got me into the 32 Long love affair. Next was a mint 30-1 2” and this weekend I found a fairly nice I frame Smith pre 30 2” I believe is from around 1951-52. It’s not perfect but solid and not as beat up as I am so I couldn’t resist and brought it home from the local collectors show.

This one ticked most of the boxes with the I frame and half moon front sight. Like I said it’s not perfect so I won’t feel bad about shooting it.

If anyone has SN info the number is 5899xx. I did some research on the forum and found one member had one just 210 digits off my serial number.

I’d love any information and to see your 32 snub nose I frames.

6 screw hand ejector snub

The 64-2 I recently picked up here.
32 hand ejector has flat mainspring just like the 38 terrier both around the same age.
Then my baby cheif & 32 pocket positive from 1924, sweet piece. Also an 1980 ish charter.

I only have one. A Model 64 (no dash) I bought new in 1976 for $145. A reliable companion both on and off duty for many years. Hard to find a better all around snub nose than a K frame .38 special with round butt.
