    Snubs are fun.

     

    I've got them in 22, 32, 38 and 357.

    Well, that top one is a 3 inch L frame 44. I guess with an L frame a 3-inch would be considered a snub.

    My next snub is going to be a .22 maybe a Ruger LCR

    Grandson #2 (Peter Sumner cello on YouTube) receives his MFA from Berklee College of Music in a couple of weeks.  Also, you can look up most anybody's senior concert @ Berklee & you'll find him playing in it.  Not too proud.

    That’s awesome MizPete! Is he pursuing a music career?

    Sweet! I briefly had a Smith 36 Chief Special I bought from a guy cheap. I really had little use for it since I have a 2 1/2 Smith 19 and those snub 38's generally kick like crap and not very accurate. Went dove hunting at a buddy of mines place and his cousin fell in love with it and kept warting me until I sold it to him. I made a few bucks and he still got a good deal. It was blue. We were both happy so it was a harmonious outcome!

    I have 4 snubbies, 2 Smirh’s, a 637 and a 37 , a Ruger SP 101 and this Detective Special. Yes they kick but they’re close range guns and accurate enough at 15 feet. Great carry guns! I’m a big fan.

    I was at a out of town state shoot, I won't say which one, but they had no story line and no starting lines. You could just say ready or make up a line. I was at the firing line and I looked back at the TO and said, "Why XXX You look like someone just walked over your grave" He just about lost it :lol:

    Looks like this was made in 1977, the Detective Special was discontinued in 1996 according my little Colt book. The earlier ones didn't have the shroud so the shell ejection bar was exposed, this has the full shroud.

    Ah, then it is a real Detective Special. :D

    Actually, I just went to the Colt sight and they do not make a modern Detective Special. I thought a new DS had come out. 
     

    Are you going to carry that one or is it more for range fun?

    I may carry it, currently I'm carrying a SW 637 so this DS has one more round, it's a 6 shot.

    I've heard things like that before and it always makes me wonder.

     

    Did he shoot it once - bang - just to see if it worked.

     

    Or did he shoot it one cylinder full - bang bang bang bang bang bang.

     

    Or did he take it to the range and run a couple or 3 hundred rounds through it, but since he only took it to the range that one time, "he only shot it once".

     

    Not saying anything against your new gun. It's just that phrase - only shot it once.

    I know him personally and he fired 12 rounds from it , cleaned it and put it away in his safe. I believe him because  he's a friend. I used to work part time there.

    It looks brand new. Is it a new Colt made recently? It sure is a good lookin’ snubby. 
     

    Yes, range report, please.  :D

     

    Congratulations Rye! 

    I have to look it up. I believe it’s about 20 yrs old. The owner of the gun shop bought it new and only shot it once. It was in his safe at home!

     I've got bigger and better things in life to hate than walmart. I don't go there to make friends, study fashions, worry about what Sam would think or enjoy old school customer service. 

     

    You, me or all of us reading this and not shopping there isn't going to make a difference to them one way or the other. But more power to you if that's the way you feel. All of us on this forum are basically the same type of people with just a few different personal views......

     

    Myself, I don't mind hitting a deal like this one last fall where I saved 15 bucks a box on 32 boxes because they were mysteriously marked down at the START of duck / goose season.

    t to 2 

    And I took them through self-check out like I always use because that means there is one less whack job touching my stuff.

    Self checkout with ammo? The Walmarts I go to I have to pay back where they have the ammo. I go to 2 different ones.

    You've obviously never been to Columbus Ohio or Tucson Arizona. 

    In Ohio, they love the buckeyes SO much that if you don't, and they know it, you're treated like you are mentally ill. Some years ago, my wife, daughter, and I went to dinner with my ex-sister and her family at a local restaurant. EVERY table in the place had somebody wearing OSU apparel. Including my brother in law. If you're looking for souvenirs in Ohio, you will have a VERY hard time finding anything that isn't OSU related. When I was growing up there in, the 1960s, the football coach was Woody Hayes. He was so revered that anybody running for ANY office in the area, as far ahead as the 1980s would automatically get elected if he could say that he played football for Woody Hayes. When I was getting married the first time, it was on the day of a game. My family was all gathered at the church, all ready for us. But the preacher was nowhere to be found. Finally my Best Man and I went looking. We found him in his office, watching the game. He FORGOT that he was supposed to be Marrying us.

    As for Tucson, attitudes are very similar over the U of A Wildcats. When I was actively shooting Cowboy matches, I've seen people leaving the match early because there was a football game coming on. When the wildcats went to the Rose Bowl, in about 95 if my rememberer is right, they got their picture on the cover of Sports Illustrated, there were PILES of the magazine EVERYWHERE. When I was checking out at Walmart, the cashier was absolutely flabbergasted that I didn't want one. She just kept saying, "But it's the Wildcats!"  

    It's ridiculous here in Ohio with the Ohio State nonsense. My grandson went there and even he's not all in with the OU stuff. I went to Cleveland State for a little bit, never finished so I have no ties to Ohio State but you'd think I was a criminal because I could care less about the college. It's all liberal pukes anyway!
