Pat Riot Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 My snubbies. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 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".

Pat Riot Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 The term “snubby” or “snub nosed” has never been used in any publication, documentary, film, video or otherwise that I have ever seen or heard to refer to anything but a “snub nosed revolver”.

H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 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.

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.

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.

It's at the Gunsmith getting a light primer strike issue resolved. I have been watching the Peter Gunn series. He also carried a Colt Detective.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
