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

[BobWright]

This was my entire snub nose battery at one time:



But I'm not too fond of smallbores for serious work, so went to the .45 Colt "platform" as young gunnies are fond of saying. A Single Action needs at least 4 5/8"~4 3/4" of barrel to have a worthwhile ejector, so the little guns no longer interest me.

Here is a quick pic of my modest snubby collection. From top left SP-101 stainless, SP-101 Blued, next row 442, 431PD 32 mag, third row 31-1, 637, on the left 31-1 3" and on the right 36-6 3" 38 Special. I have read S&W only made 615 of the 36-6 guns. The rubber grips are factory. I didn't get the box and dox with this gun. Its one of my favorite trail guns. Loaded with WC bullets to around 750fps its a great small game or trail plinker. And at that low pressure brass last forever.

DAO SP101 with Badger grips. I love snub revolvers more than any other lead slingers.

Did someone say Snubs...

 

[J-Bar]

This is an unusual S&W 60-4, 3". Most 60's have fixed sights, this one has adjustable sights, full lug barrel, plus a target hammer and target trigger. It dates to 1996, just about the time S&W stopped making the Model 60 in .38 Special and started producing it in .357 Magnum. This one is a .38 Special. It is the only revolver I have lettered by Mr. Jinks, the S&W Historian. The gun was part of a special production run of 145 units for RSR Wholesale Midwest Inc. Milwaukee, WI.

I lucked into it. It had been traded in on a bottom feeder at the local tactical gun store. It came with the wood grips shown, plus the original box and papers and rubber grips. The wood grips feel very comfortable. I have not seen very many like it on the auction sites.

I remember seeing one of those at one of the local gun shops and thinking S&W has just made the ultimate Kit Gun! A J frame in .38 Special, made from stainless steel, with a 3" barrel with a full shroud, and adjustable sights!

Doesn't get any better than that!

 

[ThomasT]

I remember seeing some of the model 60s with 5" barrel in 357. I should have bought one. Who would have thought S&W would stop making them. I'm glad I have the blued version of J-Bars gun in my picture above.

Here’s mine:



And I almost forgot my model 63. Not sure if 3” qualifies as a “snubbie”, but who cares? I like this little .22!

[Riomouse911]

I have a couple of snubs…I kinda like ‘em.

A 3” Model 36 I rescued from the dead:



A new Colt Cobra, a nickel Model 49, an SP 101 .38 and a Model 642:



A Dan Wesson 15-2 with a 3” VH shroud ( I also have another frame that wears a 2” VH on occasion):



A .44 Spl GP 100 wearing compact grips:



A 317 .22 LR:



A 3” Model 13 with a bit of lipstick (Somewhere I have a pic of my 2.5” Model 19, I couldn’t find it):



If you can shoot a sub 3” barreled revolver well, you can probably shoot any revolver well.



Stay safe.

 

[lincen]

Here are most of mine. Lately I've been really drawn to 3" barrel revolvers. The last picture is of two Taurus model 856's. Was very pleased with the quality
