Snubbies! Show me some pics of your snubnose revolvers.

[whacko]

Kind of a "big" snubby compared with my Solo....

Is that ruger the 44 mag or the 454 cassul? And how do you like it?

I love snubbies. Of all the handguns Ive owned, I usually reach for my Model 60 smith and wesson in .38spl (the new one is a .357). My wife isnt an anti, but doesnt like when guns are "obvious" to her - carrying a snubbie is the perfect balance of concealability and power - I dont feel outgunned with this weapon.

I cant post pics of it as Im at work but she rides in a crossbreed holster on a 5.11 Instructor belt, loaded with Hornady Critical Defense, 2 speedloaders.

I am considering trading this for a .357 - perhaps a Taurus 605 because its basically a JFrame as well. Not so much because of the .38, just because i want to eventually get a .357 lever gun and this will allow for more ammo compatability.

I know you can shoot .38's in a .357, I'm not sure about lever action rifles though. They could accomodate a .38. Someone with more experience could answer.

They qualify Pilgrim. Nice. I have a feeling I'll own more. Scubaredsox, nice Cobra.
Pilgrim can you tell me more about that tiny old timer? What caliber are those little short loads?

 

[Pilgrim]

Hopkins & Allen Blue Boy Flobert design, in .22CB, from approx 1872. The longer round in the pic is a .22lr for comparison.

 

[Sterg]

Thats cool. thanks. You learn something new every day. I had no idea they made rimfires back then. Can you still get that caliber today? What does the cb designate?

 

[Pilgrim]

The ammo in the pic is new. I've got a tin of them. The CB is the bullet size...slightly larger than BB size.

They usually answer the phone.

Great eye candy and top notch photos. I love these revolvers.

FIE, whoever they are. I got the gun cuz it was real cheap. It's not a bad gun, just not a good one. It's a .38spl. Should pack a wallop. I haven't dare fire it yet.

Charter Arms .32 UnderCoverette

S&W Model 1 1/2 .32 rim fire circa 1870 with original mother of pearl

 

[Sterg]

Nice and nice. The Charter arms looks like a S&W clone. How does the quality compare?

S&W 629

I really like this 629. Are the grips stock? The extra meat on the barrel really makes it look current.

This one is in another revolver thread probably my favorite.

Still feeling warm from my pocket...

I think there's more mini wheel gun guys here than you think. My carry gun has been a Glock 27 for the last 20 years, but before that I carried a S&W mod 60 stainless stubbie for five years. It was the first gun that became a part of me. I dread the day I sold it. It was like a living appendage to me, but I had a friend that really liked it and bugged me for a couple years to sell it. I finally obliged him,..maybe to shut him up. I think the wheel gun big or small will always have it's place. It's a classic.

You get that little black ring under the firing pin too. I thought I had a crack in the frame.

My ruger sp101 gets that as well.......hoppes and a coppeer brush used gently on it works very well.....same for the burn rings on teh front of the cylinders.
