Zebraranger, that security six was the exact idea I had as the BEYOND or outside the limit of "snubnose". Funny.
Agreed, good point.I have a 3" SP101 and it certainly isn't a snub whereas the 2.25" certainly is. I feel 2.5" is the point where the lower barrel length limit of simply "short barrel" belongs. "Snub" should be used for barrels too short for a round to achieve proper velocity for consistant h.p expansion. There, I gave an actual reason
Yup, agreed.For me, a "snubby" starts with a 1 or a 2... A 3" isn't a snubby, it's a compact belt gun.
Again,well stated.On a 38, 2 inches, 357 a 2.5" is max. A 3" gun with 6 rounds is a full size gun.....
But this makes a good point,too.Small frames need to be under 3", a large frame could be 3" IMHO.
I.E. a 3" M60 isn't, but a 3" M29 is.
How long a barrel can it have and still qualify as a snubbie?
