Let's see your short barrels 3" or less.

Oh yeah, this will be a fun thread for me too. I love those snub revolvers.

I prefer a snub revolver For carry over all others. My 44spl’s Are some of my Favorites. A extra Cylinder and Barrel for the 696 just because.

I like 3" medium & small frame revolvers. Over the years, I had a Rossi for a short time and built a 3" Colt Detective Special out of a late model Police Positive by having the barrel swapped.

2 years ago, I traded for a 3" Taurus 431 .44spl. It was stainless and had a square butt. It was about 34oz and felt like a duty gun due to the size and weight. I sold it but probably shouldn't have.

I went on a rabbit trail of Charter Arms revolvers for about 2 years. I had a blued 3" original Bulldog .44spl and a stainless original 3" Bulldog. Nice balance. I had an original Undercover 38. I had 2 identical 3" Police Undercover 38+P 6 shot adjustable sights guns made at the factory last year. Timing issues plagued one gun and it was returned twice before they built me a new one. The new one was sent to me with the wrong height front sight so it went back and was corrected. I promptly sold all my Charter Arms and pursued used S&W's.

I bought a S&W model 15-3 about a 11 months ago at a pawnshop for $330. It had originally come from the factory in 1977 with a 2" barrel but someone had put a 6" model 14 barrel on it. I found a barrel on ebay for $25 and my gunsmith swapped the barrel for $40.

I then bought a S&W model 36-3 Lady Smith with a 3" heavy barrel. That is currently my wife's gun.

I bought a model 10-8 with a round butt and a 4" heavy barrel for about $280 if I remember correctly. It is at my gunsmith getting the barrel chopped to 3", with a dovetail front sight and the barrel will have a slabside. He will parkerize it too.

I bought a 4" HB model 64-5 this week for $325. It will get chopped too. The 2 pictures attached are from the internet of what my 3" K frames will look similar to.

Love the snubby M15!

Next one I see (and Ive only ever seen 2) is coming home with me, dont care what the price......

Oh, BTW, if you still have the 6" barrel, I think Riomouse needed one for his bulged M14, last I heard. Might PM him to see if he wants it.

I tend to like my revolvers on the long side, but still have a few snubbies-

I’ve shown it before- yet appropriate again here.Smith 13

640 Centennial, Colt Agent, Model 10-5, 629 Deluxe Talo and Bulldog .44

I added the rest of the guys, Ruger SBH. Model 66-2 6”, 66 No Dash 4”, Model 15-3, Rossi 511 .22, Pietro Model .36 Caliber Colt Navy

..

Pay no mind to the big one

Only two; top one is a Taurus Model ?? .38Spl. 5-shot. Bottom is a S&W M66-1

I really like snubbies. They're my preferred CC category, and I like to shoot them for fun, too.

The S&W Model 10 2" and Rossi Model 720 are my favorites for shooting. Everyone who shoots them likes them.

The Ruger LCR (cargo shorts) and Charter Arms Bulldog (bib overalls) are what I usually carry.

I'll add some snubs to the snubpile.
44M Trail Boss, 686+ Deluxe, 386PD, Windicator, 360, 637
The 386PD (7-shot) "nuclear" in a Galco high OWB is one of my favorite utility packages.

Just the two S&W J frames: a Model 649 and it's lighter weight brother, a Model 638. Would love to find a Model 36 with a 3" barrel, round butt, to go with them!

Here’s a real wrist breaker- S&W 317 22lr prelock
In my pocket as I type.

Actually I probably carry it far more than I should, Simply convenient. With 8 rds it’s better than harsh words and dirty looks

Well I have to say you've got your S&W J frame's bases nicely covered!

Most of my 3"-and-under collection is captured in my "J-frame family" photo (just knock off the 4" Model 63)... Fortuitously, I also included the three NAA mini-revolvers in the pic, which are all 3" and under... Going left to right for each row, the revolvers are placed in chronological order of manufacture...



Unless I'm missing something, the only other 3"-and-under revolvers I have are the S&W Model 65:


...And the Governor (2.75")...
