So many snubbies!

not all the data, by any stretch, but still fun:

ZVP, we got a lot snubmasters ( ?if that is a real word) right here, Post, and ask question, or just brag.
This is my favorite, Smith 649.

With full-length grips carrying a snubby doesn't make sense. My J-Frame has short, rounded grips and actually conceals.

Face it. The humpback J-Frames are FUGLY.

BTW, mine's a SW model 36, and I qualified two weeks ago with it for an off-duty/BUG in my LE agency. I'm looking forward to purchasing a hammer to play around with and bobb the spur off of.

Any love for this one?

I understand the full length grip on a magnum; makes firing it a lot more enjoyable. But it does not make them more concealable. In fact, you lose concealability.

GT has a snubbie subforum, there are BUG forums around.

A dozen snubbies? Heck, Charter arms alone has that many and so does S&W and Taurus. Let's make it 4 dozen. Why not ? For concealability and power in a small gun , not to mention reliability, and simplicity, it is very hard to beat for self protection.

My dream plinker a 3" j-frame in .22lr

Gotta love a snub. Easy to carry, incredibly reliable, potent calibers.

I passed on 63 and 651 J frame snubbies, years ago - I was broke. Sigh. Now they are pricey old guns.

Face it. The humpback J-Frames are FUGLY.

For the most part, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, accordingly, I categorically disagree

All my Lifesavers are round, with a hole in the middle, and they taste minty.

Don't believe the "hump-backs" are FUGLY at all - especially the S&W Models 49/649. They've got a hammer (sort-of) that allows for single action play.

And a few more snubs -

I love snubbies, have 6 of them, including one of them Fugly ones. They serve a purpose and do something none of the other styles can do. Draw from the pocket without catching, and allow Single Action fire. When I carry a snub, its my 638 with Crimson Trace. You cant get any better than that. The Taurus in the first pic is 9mm

I be loving me some snubbies

Do you mind naming off the five in your bottom pic

Appealing yet appalling... the allure of the short revolver. Sexy in design and simultaneously brutal in its intentions.

IMO the best hideout gun ever made:





For when I am feeling nostalgic...





Daily working gun...





Just in case open carry becomes legal in my state...

Deepest thanks for all the 649 love.

I have two Charter Arms Undercover .38 revolvers. The first one I purchased new in 1987, the day I was sworn in as a cop, at a police supply store I had been taken to for uniform fitting. It rode BU and OD duty for quite some time after that, and has always been a solid and reliable performer. With its anodized barrel/ejector shroud, it's quite handsome, too.
The second one is 21 years older, which makes it the same age as I am. Though my dad and I did not know each other as I was growing up, it turned out he did some time in law enforcement around the same time as I was. His choice of a BU/OD gun was this one. We had re-connected around 2000 or so, and his gun (along with his Ruger Service Six) became mine on his death in 2010.
I don't carry them often, but do every now and then when I feel some need for nostalgia.

So lovely.
