The Superduper Snubbie thread

[rodc13]

I like my Dick Special a lot. I had one decades ago, then got this one last year when my right arm was broken. I felt much more competent operating a revolver one-handed. This is a 4th issue model, on which the Pachmayr grips came standard. They're very comfortable for shooting and carrying. I usually use a Bianchi Model 100 IWB for it.

Also pictured below is the Cobra I gave my young bride for her birthday last year.

I have two snubbies available for use as needed. The Smith is mostly used as a summer time piece; when I don't feel like getting "harnessed up" with my regular EDC, I'll go with the Colt in a coat pocket.

S&W M60, D.O.M. 1966.



Colt Cobra, D.O.M. 1963.

[LastManOut]

My S&W 642 with factory installed Crimson Trace stocks and a K&K Cochise Defender holster. I trimmed away a tad bit of the stocks on the left side for easier insertion of Safariland speedloaders.

I have over 1500 rounds through it, none of which were +P .

If you get a chance, attend Michael's class with SnubTraining.com Excellent class specific for snub revolvers. Lots of info not incorporated into Glock-ian type training.




I couldn't refuse the deal I got on this Taurus 85. She's a backup gun for the S&W 642

Here's the snub I go to if I want a wheelie on me as a backup or in the very hot summer months here in the Sonoran Desert of Az as a primary as long as I'm not working the gun shop that day.

It's a first year production 640-1 357 with a 2 1/8" barrel. The hip grip has been on this one since I purchased it sometime in the mod 90's or thereabouts.

Funny I just saw this thread and it's content. I was at the shop this morning and put another model 36 away in the safe. This ones a 36 no dash with flat latch. It's been fired but not enough to put but a hairline turn line on the cylinder. Guns a good 99% condition and the price was right [ my price was 210.00 out the door, but it was tagged at 310.00 in the case ].

Snubs presently owned besides the two mentioned above would be another 36 unfired from 1973 and a chief model 60 first year of production, also 99% condition

Colt Detective Special, nickle plated and a Smith 351pd in 22 mag.....yeah baby!

[Crestliner]

O.K. folks, here's the little lady I picked up last week, along with the results of her baptism on Saturday . Four shots each, Speer Gold Dots and Cor Bons; two hands, standing. Afterwhich I popped off another 65 rounds of .38 Specials and 38 +P's. Lot of plinking fun! Great little gun overall. I'd have no hesitation recommending this Ruger to anyone. I carry her in a "Thunderwear" deep concealment holster, loaded with .357 Speer 125 grn. GDHP's. As the ole' Ranger once said, "She'll do to ride the river!".

All I've got is a 642 just like lots of other folks on this forum. But I sure do love this little .38!!

[semperfi.45]

I was always a Glock (27) carrier until I bought my J frame. IMO, it's the easiest gun to carry and conceal. Now it's my 24/7 carry usually in a Kramer pocket and (for those that may say it) I don't feel undergunned. I am considering getting some work done on my 442 byGemini Customs as well as some other tricking.

Just got the word today that my Agency will not allow laser grips on any on or off duty firearms, so I'm now in the market for some custom grips.

I am a new member of the snubbie club. I got mine about a week and a half ago and I love it. I was a little concerned about pocket carrying with it, especially since I did have a Keltec P3AT, but it has been great. Don't leave home without it.
