Snub nosed revolvers

[Joegrz308]

Don't underestimate the snub nosed revolver as a carry piece. I recently added a Ruger SP101 357 to my collection and could not be happier. 38 special +P are really easy to shoot and even full house 357 125gr. loads are manageable. The gun is small and easy to carry in an owb holster. While I prefer my 1911's, I will be carrying the SP101 also on occasion.

Anyone else carry a snub nosed?

Anyone else carry a snub nosed?

Yep. All the people who carry flip phones.

A simple, rugged and powerful tool for the job is a snuby. I don't have one yet but it is on my list.

 

[roscott]

I have a couple. They are just so dang comfortable.

 

[Robert Richardson]

Easy to carry and very reliable.

 

[Snapdragon]

Yep. I carry either an LCR or a J-frame snub. I have a K-frame snub in my vehicle.

Great 2nd gun, or a Backup. Any Pistolero needs a snubbie. Mine gets carried in mag restriction citys(South Bend) vs a Glock 21 or a Glock 19. I also carry a 8 rd mag in my 1911a1, spare mag, and a S&W 442. I realize that 10 rd mags are available, but most of mine are hicaps.
You need a few options depending on your travels.
Snubs work great, just practice at 3-7yd line, keep them in tight aim.

FYI, South Bend does not have a magazine restriction.

I carry my 1981 model 36 on occasion, and I was born in the 90s

its easily the most concealable gun I own.

Almost daily, except when I don't.
I have a .357mag snubby in total titanium. I often check to make sure it's still there.
I also have a .327 fed/mag snubby that is a dream to shoot.

I also recently picked up an SP101, but mine is a 4.2" .327 fed/mag 6-shot.
I traded out the stock wood/rubber Ruger grips for a set of Hogue Mono-grip.
The SP101 has become my EDC.

I carry a Shield, but am looking at a LCR. I haven't found one locally that I can check the trigger feel. I do like the weight though.

Even if they did, I think statewide preemption takes care of it.

I carry my 640 daily. I recently picked up an SP101 3" for a steal. It didn't have many rounds through it, but needed a good tear-down cleaning. I added an XS Express night sight on the front, installed the Wilson Combat 10# TRS and main spring, and am very happy with how it turned out. It'll be tough to knock the 640 out of daily rotation... as others have said, it's really comfortable to carry. But I'll probably carry the SP101 from time-to-time once I have a chance to get some rounds through it.

But yeah, definitely a snubby fan here, even though the 3" SP101 isn't really a snubby.

I have a taurus 85 that i usually keep in my edc bag. The last few days ive been carrying it aiwb in a bianchi holster.

 

[chezuki]

Any of you that EDC a snubby, have you ran these in any kind of defensive pistol class?

 

[1911ly]

I carry a 640-3. I have for about 4 years. It's always in my pocket.

Although I don't carry often, I have taken the Snubbie Class at Sand Burr Gun Ranch.

 

[Leadeye]

Colt Cobra.

 

[LPMan59]

Wouldn't be my first choice as a primary. Certainly good as a truck gun, bug, run into the quickie mart for milk gun

I used one as a simulated bug in a class a while back I think it was a 442 (instructors gun). Made me really realize that i don't want a snubby to be my only gun, way to much reloading

I just bought my wife an Ruger LCR I hope she likes it.
