Recommend me a Snubby

[Ura-Ki]

Hot Damn, Ruger is doing the GP-100 in .44 Mag! Time to call @LuckySG to see if I can get my grubbies on a blued 4.5 inch one! From powder puff't to full nukum magnum, that would be a serious carry piece!

Is it a 5 shot? Seems like 6 would be a lot to stuff in a GP-100

I bought a Kimber K6s DASA 3" a couple months ago. (I know, not a "snubby", but they do make them in 2" barrels and DAO if you prefer that).

Of the new Ruger, S&W, Taurus & Colt revolvers in the case, this was the best put together, finished and the trigger is just plain fantastic.

I've only put 100 rounds through it so far, but have done a ton of dry firing and the trigger seems to be improving even a bit more.

Kimber did right on this thing. The only real downside is not everyone makes holsters for the 3". There seems to be a wider selection for the 2" though.

Well, I got too excited and didn't check it out yet, it's .44 Special and it's a 5 shot! Still.............................


Looks like I need a Redhawk .44 Mag instead, same specs though, 4.5 inch blued!

Sexy Sexy!

How is your wrist after torching off a cylinder?

Nothing like a .454 Casull, I'm comfortable with my manhood stopping at .44mag.

No Love for the Kimber K6s?

I like it 6 rounds full house 357 in the size of a j frame

I found the DeSantis fits just right. https://www.desantisholster.com/speed-scabbard/

I have one of those. Not super pleased with it, but it does function as an ok gun pocket until my custom holster arrives.

Figure out the hottest load you want to shoot and go rent some guns. I am a fan of the 2 1/4" SP101 and have a 3" Colt King Cobra. Both handle the hotter loads with the right grip combo.

Well they did make a .475 Wildey Magnum with a 5" barrel. That might be considered a snubby, if you can find one.

That's what she said.

Something to consider with regard to a snub is traditional exposed hammer, or concealed/hammerless style..

I guess if it is ONLY going to be carried for SD, and one shoots it fairly regularly to maintain proficiency then possibly a hammerless might be acceptable but if it is going to be both carried and maybe shot for sport/target then one may want a typical exposed hammer style.

Some of the guns mentioned do not have this option so that is not an issue. Just a thought....

 

[titsonritz]

Lot of fans of using wad cutters in snubbies for good reason, find the most accurate out of your specific gun and roll with it.

K6s 2" DAO is just so great
