The semiautos are in the pictures just because I didn't have handy individual photos of the Snubbies - I do not consider semiautos to be "Snubbies" S&W 327 Night Guard (with my Glock 45) Colt Detective Special made 1972 S&W 36-2 S&W 63 S&W 442-1 (with my old Remington RM380 - I sold it) This 442 was my first S&W revolver. S&W 60 Pro - sold it. This gun nearly cured me of ever buying another new Smith & Wesson. S&W forgot what QC and customer service are. Cool looking gun.

I have one of these grips. It’s called an Ergo grip. Not sure where it is right now. I bought it to see if it would help with my bad wrist. It actually does help with that, but my aim went out the window. I ended up going with Hogue Monogrips instead. Except for on my 442. It will keep the boot grip. 3 Foot, let me see if I can find that grip. It’s for S&W J frames. If I can and you want it I will send it to you gratis. Let me do some looking tomorrow. If I still have I will PM you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Three Foot Johnson 2,517 Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 (edited) Dang, I forgot a whole passel of pocket pistols. (edit) They looked a little long in the picture, so I put a tape measure them. The "American Bulldog" third from left is about 2 5/8", the next one is 3" on the dot, the two S&W's on the right are just over the three inch mark at about 3 1/16", and the little .32 S&W on the far left is 3 1/4".

H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 1,113 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Seems to me that a "snubbie" or snub nosed revolver, is, well, a revolver with a short barrel. But it is not a pocket pistol. It is a "full size" revolver, whatever that means, with an unusually short barrel. I will post some pics of my own such animals when I get home from work tonight. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to blame it on you, Pat. while I have read a couple of novels where they mentioned a snub nose automatic, my question came simply because of your post with the pictures which included two automatics - both of which had short barrels. I have decided now that it was simply a case of the snub nose revolver you wish to show a picture of had an automatic in the picture with it, but when I asked my question I thought you were counting them as snub noses also. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh no, they were just pictures I had on my phone that I had taken. I couldn't find decent photos of them by themselves so I just used what I had. But I do think the S&W 442 picture with the Remington is a really cool photo. I do have a pic of the 442 by itself. I just like the way that photo came out, that's why I used it.

When I was at Sportsman's Warehouse, our buyers found a bunch of post-war alloy frame P38's, and I bought one of them. If you go that route, they developed a problem with the frame cracking so were retro fitted with a hex cross pin to prevent it. Two of the *less than 10* we got in to my store had the pin, so I picked one of them up. I think the post-war models were designated P1 actually... I'd have to go pull it out of the safe and see how it's marked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
