If I was going to buy a new snubbie, I'd probably buy an older snubbie and call it new to me.

I just bought a Kimber K6xs alloy frame .38 special. I love it. I wouldn't mind the steel model in .357 now.

Something in a fullsize frame will be my birthday present in November. Nice, probably more comfortable to shoot than my 340 m&p, which will draw blood. I carry with underwood 38sp+p, but probably something I always have on me especially in summer months, an all steel probably not. Congrats |

While I am tempted by the K6s, something about the snub Speed Six just feels oh so right.

I am currently carrying a Taurus Model 85 with the concealed hammer from the mid-90s. Not as nice as a Smith Model 36 (which is one of my favorite revolvers) but pretty decent non the less. And I would cry less if it got stolen or something. Just a decent "get off me" gun.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Ameshawki: I own a bunch, most of them in fact. First off, don’t bother with 357. In most guns it’s just unpleasant. You won’t practice enough to get any good with them. I consider anything three inch or less a snubbie. Smith K frame (10,13,64 or 65), Ruger GP100, Speed Six, or SP101, Colt King Cobra. All will serve you well for a holster gun. Pocket carry; Smith J frame. Colt Dec Special is just a bit large, the Ruger SP101 is too heavy. Note that none of these have adjustable sights. The Ruger LCR is a solid choice. Nothing L frame or N frame really qualifies. Likewise the short barrel Pythons are a bit hefty and honestly too expensive for daily wear and tear. You forgot about Smiths Night Guard series. Ultimate belly guns on K, L and N frames. .38 SPL, .357 mag, 40 S&W, 10mm, .41 Mag, .44 SPL, .44 Mag and .45 ACP. Just not going be under $1000 now days. |

640 pro feel really good in the hand
Ill gloss over the fact it needs to go back for some massaging. But this little heater seems like a winner for what I would deem a real snubbie

Impressive muzzle flash. Pain. Eh it's not that bad with decent grips. But I shoot a lot of hot .357 out of my revolvers so I'm a little biased since my woods load is a 200gr HCGC going ~1200fps out of my 4" GP100. IMO I think the Altamont rubber grips help with recoil more than hogue, but it's subjective. The fireballs in low light are impressive though  I can't wait for fall to take some updated shots with some flashier ammo.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tommytornado: I just bought a Kimber K6xs alloy frame .38 special. I love it. I wouldn't mind the steel model in .357 now. Definitely on my short list. Right now I have a Taurus 856 ULCH in black that I am partial too. My best advice. Get a lightweight 6 shot .38. Because it'll be the gun you won't mind carrying, even if you are wearing shorts with no belt. I only paid 250 for the Taurus. Gun.deals is your friend. |
