Snub nose photo thread

JohnnyCremains · Jan 29, 2014

I couldn't find a photo thread of snubnose revolvers here so I thought I would start one.

1908 police Positive with a Bankers Special barrel

A Colt Army Special that I Fitzed a while ago. Sold this one.

Police Positive Special cut down to 1 1/4". (Colt actually made at least one of these as a factory special order. This is a copy of that one)

1933 Detective special square butt

H&R "Bicycle Gun" .38 S&W cut down. This one is currently for sale on Gunbroker.

Smith & Wesson lemon squeezer. This also cut down into a "Bicycle gun:

Another cut down S&W from the 1880s

S&W first model hand ejector 1896 cut down

Smith & Wesson M&P Detroit Police gun from 1948

Some "Avenging Angels"

I'd post my Charter Arm .38 and Ruger LCR 357, but I'd be embarrassed doing that with those beautiful guns already posted. I love the old guns.

forindooruseonly · Jan 29, 2014

You sold the Army Special? I wish I would have known. Ugh. That gun spoke to me.

horsemen61 · Jan 29, 2014

Them are some great guns right there

9mmfan · Jan 29, 2014

Beautiful guns.

Mine are far more pedestrian, but in the interest of keeping the thread going I'll post 'em anyway.

Might be 'bout a half inch too long to qualify, but relative to a "full size."

Need more Colts, but I do have this little DS with real MOP factory grips

Might as well add a Dan Wesson

JohnnyCremains · Jan 30, 2014

Yup sold the Fitz a while ago. The guy I sold it to had something to do with the Bonnie and Clyde museum I think. I talked to him a couple of times. I believe he was intending to have it engraved. I'd love to see a picture of it if he ever has that done.

TennJed,

That nickel Detective Special is gorgeous. What year is that from?
The guys over at thecoltforum would drool all over that.

Oh yeah someone mentioned Charter Arms. I forgot to post he one I carry everyday

Vodoun da Vinci · Jan 30, 2014

Dangit.....and here I sit with my LB Custom walnut grip for my Dan Wesson 15-2VH but still waiting on my 2 1/2" barrel and shroud. :banghead:

Great pix guys!! Please post more snubbie love.

The good folks here and at the Colt forum helped me figure it out when I first got it. Can't remember the exact year off the top of my head this morning, but it was mid 30s. Along with real factory mother of pearl grips, it has original factory nickel

Here are my "sisters",,,

Velma and Velda,,,

Velda is a square-butt Model 34 in .22 LR,,,
I named her after Mike Hammers secretary.

Velma is a round butt Model 36 in .38 Special,,,
I named her after my oh-so-beautiful sister.

The rubber "galoshes" are Pachmayer Compac grips,,,
The interesting thing is that even though one is for square-butt and the other for round -butt,,,
Their external dimensions and shape are identical so now both guns feel the same when I shoot them.

I had looked for round-to-square conversion wood grips and never found any,,,
The Compacs were simply a happy accident that they worked out that way.

shootingthebreeze · Jan 30, 2014

There is something about a snub revolver which has classic lines.
Nice pieces.

Nice sisters. I like the compac "stocks" on my 642, didn't know they felt the same on a square butt...I 'll have to remember that.

Here's another one. They keep falling out of my jacket pockets. Flat latch pre-36 Chiefs Special from about 1957

Like an idiot I traded or sold all my old Colt and Smith snubbies so I don't have anything like these nice treasures posted above. So here is my S&W M65.

My S&W M60.
