The price mark is $1,000 or less. 357 magnum. No brand loyalty, just current best bang for the buck.

And go!

I'd get a snubby Ruger Redhawk in 357 magnum! 8 rounds!

Msrp is almost $1400, but street price is $1000 - $1100 when you can find them.

Yep. I'm partial to the 3-inch.

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.

I ended up going with a 640 Pro. I liked having a J frame before, figure this can on be even better than the 442 I had.

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

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.

I really like the steel 3”, would like the alloy snub, but nobody around here seems able to get one. Might have to order it online.

like I said above, the 3” Kimber is really nice. Two of my friends have them, and I like the trigger and sights, and the weight is nice for shooting, but see below. I also like the Ruger-like cylinder release. Most of my revolver shooting is with Ruger. Speaking of, the SP101 is a good choice too, if you like something pleasant to shoot, and don’t pocket or ankle carry. It’s just kinda heavy for that.

Im highly considering one of those, unless I find something more reasonable.

Now I need to scrounge up a holster for this. Thanks OP. I was already looking for one for my 3'' Cobra.

They have models with exposed hammers. Those are the ones my buddies have. I’m the opposite of you..I only use double action, except on cowboy guns and Blackhawks. So I prefer my snubs hammerless, if only because I pocket carry.

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

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.

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.
