You're a snubbie fanboy when...
- Thread starter Shorty 45 MK2
- Start date
Several decades ago, we were adopted by a very talkative Seal Point Siamese.I have ways of making cats talk......usually involves large cans of kitty treats.
Talk about a huntress, we often found an UN-lucky rabbit's foot or two under the front bushes.
At the time, we usually managed to figure out what she wanted, but I seem to have since misplaced the secret decoder ring.

Jeez...........
#24 You believe that real snubbies come in 45 ACP, maybe 40 S&W, overall length is the same compared to revolver.
Rumor has it, she always has . . .Oh, man, you are in trouble. Without that ring your cat has control of every situation.
The ring may have simply been a diversion to make "her humans" believe they had an edge.
Humans are so gullible
newest addition.....a model 49 no dash,

newly guilty of being a snubbie fanboy. I bought my first two revolvers at the end of January of this year. One in fact is a 2" barrel 64-2 and the other a 4" 586 no dash. Now less than six months later I now have three snubbies. I bought a model 642-2 Performance center two months ago and carry it everyday now. My Glock 19 has been sitting in the safe since I got the 642. And now just yesterday I bought a Model 37!! A couple of the salesmen at the gun store told me thanks for buying it because if it was still there next paycheck they were going to buy it.

And my 37 bought yesterday!!

You have bought, sold and traded more snubbies than the 100 average J frame owners combined. I "Think" I have about 20 J frames snubbies plus or minus..but I have bought sold traded at least 2X that many in J, K and N frames just in the last 3 years...I am currently on a "J only" phase but that will change... No doubt in my mind. If I come across any nice pinned snubby at a decent price it's coming home.
#24 You know that there is no such thing as a pre 49 Bodyguard but there is a Pre 38 Airweight Bodyguard.
BTW you have left out the favorite of many..I framed Terriers.
Here are my favorite pre model Snubbies.
A 19-4 traded for some other snubby
A newer model 686 Talo (Traded already)
A 940 (Traded)
One of my K frames..traded already..
And 3" Js are officially considered snubbies (Traded for another snubby)
Pre 27 Snubby N Frame (Sold to buy another Snubby)
Then there is this J frame nut..these are just his Bodyguards and Centennials.

Yes sir, I have. I plan to make a new post about him & the gun when I get it all organized.
He was Sheriff of Washington County, Oklahoma from 1960/61 to 1974. He was Sheriff for 7 consecutive, 2 year terms. From what I have gathered so far, he was very well liked & respected.

Mbliss57,
Yes, I forgot about them. Partly from a lack of experience on my part. There not any around here, except a 4" .32-20 I frame at GM that they want a crazy amount for.
GM wants a crazy price for everything..
The .32 terrier uses the .32 long CTG. It's is an older CTG that is used mostly by us older dudes.. or collectors...the Terrier is a great little pocket gun. I prefer the 38spl for more power though. Although those who carry them have confidence in their capability. In the 1900s until after WW2 the .32 caliber was widely used. Even James Bond carried a Walther in .32 ACP for all but the most recent episodes.
Do I qualify ?
How'd that Colt sneak in there ?

I qualify on most of those, though the vast majority of mine are D frames. I've never owned a J frame but have several N frames with 3 inch barrels.
