This snubbie makes a snubbie not look like a snubbie ;-)

That’s a stubby and a snubby…

Stay safe.

I had one and regret selling it. The guy I sold it to must of had seller's remorse too because I bought it from him.

It shot relatively well, despite the grip, but I worried about velocity loss...

I have a 2 3/4" N size frame Astra, and its definitely a snub. A 3" N frame is right on the borderline of looking like a snub to me, and a 3" X frame would definitely look like a snub, so a frame size to barrel length comparison is my determining factor.
