I too like my snubbies
S&W model 66, I shoot it better than any other gun I own

This model 360j is the smaller frame size like Paladin’s model 60. I need more practice with it

Those are great! I have a 4” 65. I completely understand about shooting it better than anything you own. Mine is the same way. It even makes me look like a decent shot, and that’s no small task.

Guys,
Here are my last two acquisitions. A Smith & Wesson snubby in 357 mag and a Colt Cobra snubby also in 357 mag. The S&W is clean as can be so I'm guessing minimal usage. The Cobra has never been fired. I sure have a hard time passing on these stainless snubbys.

I’m going to ramble a bit, I do like to talk guns and own way more than I need
If a person could only own 1 handgun, what should it be? My vote would be a S&W revolver, K frame, 38/357. Model 19 or 66. Easy for a beginner to learn, reliable, suitable for self-defense and hunting small critters up to and including deer, always ready(no slide or safety to deal with)
The naysayers will come with “only 6 rounds”. But if you are a decent shot you don’t need more.
I’ll also give some love to the 1911 platform, I own 3 in different calipers, I need more practice with them.
Any Colt snake guns lovers here? My late hubby had an original Python that had been thru the Colt Custom shop and it was a pure joy to shoot. Unfortunately he sold it before the prices went crazy. When the new production came out I bought one, just can’t find any love for it. If Colt comes out with the DiamondBack again I might try it.
Yes, I guess I’m “old school”. I just can’t warm up to the currently popular “plastic fantastiics”.
Geez, I didn’t try to write a book!
All comments are welcome.

I prefer revolvers too.

[Railsplitter]

I only own two handguns and my wife owns one.

Mine are both 5-shot .38 Special revolvers. Hers is a .22 long rifle semi auto.

I bought four raffle tickets for a drawing to be held in October. First place gets the choice of a Springfield Armory Hellcat or a Smith & Wesson Equalizer. Second place gets the leftover prize.

I’d be dancin’ in the streets to win either one of those but I’m a revolver guy at heart.

By far my best shooter is a 66-1 in 6”..Even carry it for Deer season if I let a deer with in thirty yards the .357 will get the call. BUT for edc the Sig gets the call

This Ruger GP100 6 inch 357 works for me with the Bianchi X15L shoulder holster.

[Paladin]

My 'old reliable' is a S&W 686 but too big for edc. Also with Bianchi leather. It is a dandy!

So, it seems Bryan Malinowski was in effect executed at dawn by the ATF for selling some guns.

Ken you are correct sir .I don’t have the technical skills to post the link to the News here in ark .If you could post link the video that was on the news tonight it would be greatly appreciated. Bryan’s death should be a wake up call for all gun enthusiasts.

Yes, a wake up call. Don’t sell hundreds of guns without a Federal Firearms License.
I have followed the story since the beginning, he knew he was in violation of federal firearms laws. Who fired first? Honestly , I don’t know but likely the end result would have been the same.

I guess if you break federal gun laws the A.T.F. are appointed to be judge , jury , and executioners .what would you do if your door was busted open at your house and entered in the dark and unannounced ? Could have just as easily been a robbery.Just like the lawmakers in Arkansas said on the news tonight who are looking for answers.Bryan defended his self against an unknown threat just as any one who owns a a gun in the state of Arkansas would have done .

Thank you. This thread should be a show and tell and talk about our guns. Sorry I got sucked into the discussion.

Ahhh, my dream gun was always a S&W 66 or a 19 with the snub-nose barrel. That is beautiful! One question... is it a 19-4 or a 66? As I recall a 19 would be made from carbon steel and then nickel plated to appear stainless and the 66 made from stainless steel....

Nice, Ruger makes some mighty fine revolvers.
