FRGC Tuesday edition, lets see those short barreled monsters!!!!

Here's mine:

13 ounces unloaded...

S&W 340PD. J-Frame. Has a bit of a kick when spitting out .357 mag. Not unmanageable tho' - I can usually put all 5 shots in about an 8" circle at 15 feet, which is all I ask out of this.

[Lee N. Field]

Your's are all K-frame or bigger. And why have a snub if it's only "fairly concealable, under a coat, in winter"?

Got me a Taurus 605, j-frame equivalent. No handy pictures other than stock. Not a real comfortable gun to shoot, but that's not it's niche.

How cute! How lady-like, LOL!

I’m getting my very own shotgun for Christmas. I can’t WAIT! Up until now, I’ve just used Husband’s or Sonny’s, but I think a woman going on 50 deserves her very own, don’t you? :)

Nice. I recently picked up a litlle 5-shot snubby. A Charter Arms Off-Duty in .38 SPL. Two incher.

[P8riot]

My Colt Magnum Carry. I bought this piece brand new in 1999 (the only year it was made) for just under $400. I put 50 rounds through it before Colt announced that they were out of the double action revolver business (they have since returned to their senses). You can't get one in this condition now for under $1200. Unfortunately, it is now a safe queen, I pocket carry a Kahr PM9 instead.

I love snubbies! Don't have any gun porn of my own though. A few of what I have:

[archy]

A couple of fairly well-known ones:

Joe Friday [Jack Webb] with his Detective Special:

General and Chief of National Police Nguyen Ngoc *Larry* Loan, 01 February 1968 with his .38 S&W M49 *Bodyguard and Viet Cong assassination platoon leader Nguyễn Văn Lém:*

My old S&W M49 is showing its age. I've had it nearly 40 years now.

[Petruchio]

I have a S&W Model 10 I was given years ago.

Itwas made decades before the S&W boycott.

[JMJJR]

No monster, just a little S&W Chief Special. Sucker's the same age as I am, and we both still work. It has the best trigger of any revolver I've owned. Yeah, it's a recycled picture.

S&W Model 60 I bought on a whim ages ago. Officially, it's a M60-NY-2, and so marked on the frame. It was a contract overrun for the New York PD. Dehorned hammer and DAO as specified by the department. NY cops apparently get their firearms expertise from watching TV and movies, where you manually cock your revolver to show you really mean business. Their tendency towards negligent discharges continues to this day with special triggers for their Glocks. Here it is, with my trusty High Standard derringer as a comparison:

When I took the Smith in to the local police department for the "safety check" (Michigan-speak for "registration"), the cop at the desk was going to flunk it because the single action function didn't work. I explained Smith made it that way, and he said, "what a dumb idea". Then I told him the story behind it, and that it cost me all of $2 more than a standard M60, and he then said, "what a great collector's item".

After being concerned about print-through with the factory and Pachmayer grips, I found these faux-ivory ones. The fit is superb for my hands, except the pinky finger, which has to shift for itself.

This is my go-to snubbie, although it may wind up a safe queen if my research on compact 9mms pans out.

Has anyone tried out a .327 Magnum in a snub nosed yet?

[sig226]

Itty - bitties:

I have one other one that's occasionally found in my pocket, but it's classified. :)
