The snubbies are just more useful.
You're a snubbie fanboy when...
- Thread starter Shorty 45 MK2
- Start date
A few other possibilities not covered above:
A) When a snubby is your avatar. (See above)
B) When you've loaded 200gr 0.360" dia. bullets in .38 S&W cases and shot them out of a Terrier out to 50 yards.
C) Have also an Enfield snubbie that appears to have been shortened in service:
Oddly, I don't think most folk would think of me at first as a member of the club.
ETA: D) Your EDC snubbie looks like it served a couple of tours in Iraq.

My first thought is that a fanboy - to me, one who is a bit over the top in his identification with something or someone - is one who identifies with, owns, carries, promotes, and defends a gun larger in caliber than 38 Special and with a barrel shorter than 3". Some others of us might think that hurts just thinking about it.
Be a man!!!

My take on a fanboy of snubbies might be different, but that's generally how I roll. It's the only handgun (1) I owned and carried for 21 years and it satisfied my defensive needs just fine

I had a chiefs special for years. Then I joined this website. Now I have a 3" 36 no dash and a 637, the old chiefs special and looking at one more 2" 38.
Getting a 3" 624 sooner or later.
Its all your fault!

You buy your 1st snubbie, carry it around for a few days, then lock all your auto's in the safe!

#1. Just because you already have a 2 1/2" 19-3 doesn't mean you don't need a 2 1/2" 19-4".
I like that guilty plea - I'll plead it as well.
5 Model 10s w/2 inch barrels (the nickel one is STUNNING; the rest are just wonderful/RB and SB
3 J-frames, Models 32, 649, 642
1 Colt Cobra (that counts, right?)
1 NAA mini-derringer .22 Short
2 High Standard derringers .22 WMR
1 Model 19 2.5"
I've had a few others that I have literally given away to people who I thought should have them. And, since this a revolver thread, I'll omit the snubby pistols from this list. There are several. I included the derringers because, well, because........
You know you're a snubby fan when you go to the LGS to buy one thing and leave with something else, and that something else has a short barrel!

A snubbie fan doesn't try on new pants to see if they fit, he's only interested in how his snubbie in a pocket holster fits the pants pockets.

Wait a minute, you got a few 3" guys in there, do they count as snubbies?
PS: Nice collection.

With only 3 snubbies, I'm not sure that I qualify as a fanboy yet. Also have a 4" GP-100 and some semi-autos.
Actually more 3 and 3 1/2 inch guns than 2 and 2.5 inch. The pre 10 has moved on to a new owner. I carried 2.5 and 3 inch guns during my career and really could tell little difference in how they carried, so I consider them to be "snubbies." The 3.5 inch N frames also qualify, to me, due to the increased size.

Amazing how great minds work alike! I always knew I wasn't wrong: somebody agrees with me.

I saw the machine engraved Model 442 at the gun show today. Had me so shook up the guy asked if I was all right, haha. 
I said, "Yeah, I don't have $750 bucks to buy that revolver from you, is my only real problem right now". Man, what a sexy little snubby!

I think it's important to note that you don't have to own 50 snubbies in order to be a "snubbie fanboy".
I should know, I own but one!
And it's my one & only CCW!
