Some of this applies to revolver guys in general, but thought I would include them here as well. Please feel free to add to the list.

(1) You own more than two J or K frames of the same style and barrel length i.e. a 642 and a 442 or a 19 and a 66.

(4) You know the difference between a centennial and a bodyguard J frame.

(5) You carry full power .357 Magnums in a revolver with less than a 3" barrel.

Absolutely all the time

(6) When asked why you carry a snubbie when there are small(er) semi autos that carry more ammo you reply that if you can't get it done with 5 or 6 rounds 15 wont help you.

(8) You know what a Bloodwork snubbie looks like.

Know what one looks like? I own them in 357 and 41 Magnums

(10) You carry a L or N frame snubbie in a normal basis.

Since BEFORE S&W even started making them

(11) You actually own a X frame snubbie and you have shot it more than once.

(12) Your first choice in a 9mm is a S&W 940

What's wrong. Don't you like the 547?

(13) You know what a Fitz Special looks like.
(14) The name John Henry Fitzgerald means something to you.
(15) You cried when in the book Ghostman the main character tore up his Detective Special.
(16) You actually bobbed the hammer on a DA/SA revolver.

You mean Bobbed the hammer on a SNUBBY, don't you?

Thanks for reading.
Except for # 2, 5, 10, 11, 12, 15. I am a Snubbie fanboy.

I guess I have more snubbies than I thought, one day I really need to photograph the rest of them

SO Shorty 45 MK2, did I qualify? Am I a FAN?

 

[bananaman]

You can fit MORE SNUBS in your safe than larger guns! Bob

 

[shep854]

Hm. Since we are exploring beyond S&W, I can still play!
Taurus 445 .44Spl:

 

[rcp1936]

Why do they make them with adjustable sights
They look so much better without them and make no sense on an in close SD gun

You most certainly do!

As for the 547, I like it just don't tend to think of it as a snubbie.

You have a very impressive collection of snubbies.

"BIG" snubby fan

 

[Blackgun1]

Lots of drool worthy snubbies in this thread! Here's mine, I have a big list though!

[TucsonMTB]

Nice! Details please, sir.

 

[Bill Douglas]

I'm pleased you like it. It's a model 36 in nickel. I got the grips off eBay from one of those Thailand free shipping sellers. Yes it's a bit shiny, I polished it with Renassiance wax

 

[TucsonMTB]

Gorgeous! Thank you!

 

[bronco45]

Definitely a Fanboy when you carry a 640 Pro with Spegel High Horns!

 

[b_san]

I'll add a couple of snubby titanium siblings for your enjoyment, 342/242...

 

[baldboy]

You are a snubby fanboy when you are willing to trade your Glock for a Snubby

 

[Brian41]

Guilty, I got on a real snubby kick about ten years ago and had about twenty of them. Less now since I sold off the Rugers and Colts but still have a few.
A Model 37 is in my pocket now and a Model 36 in the drawer next to me. A couple more in the other rooms too.

 

[shep854]

Over the years, I've also had a couple of Taurus 85s, and Rossi stainless 5-shot snubs, but kept trading them off. I didn't have problems, but other guns caught my eye.
I also had an early .357 Ruger SP-101 with 2" barrel, but that was stolen.
