It's not a lot of fun (nor am I very accurate) with .357s, so I load it with .38s. It's actually a lot of fun to shoot with those. Precisely why I got the LCRx in .38. Lighter and still handles +p ammo. They are nice little guns. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G19 DB Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Not what you think of as a typical snubbie, but couldn't pass this up at the LGS. Shoots and feels awesome! (44 special) Edited June 30, 2018 by G19 DB 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fchretdet Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I'm happy to have and enjoy carrying and shooting an S&W 640-3 and an S&W 360J. They are both J-frames and usually carried appendix-style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think I have seen them before. After neglecting snubbies for awhile I have been exclusively carrying my LCR lately. Just love dropping that thing in a pocket. As for other snubbies, I recently picked up an Armscor M206. Pretty cool gun, especially for the price. Edited July 1, 2018 by Jstrange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Skeeter Skelton got hi readers to lobby Smith & Wesson to re introduce that model and then the 624. Is that a Lew Horton Model 24? I recall they were distributing some exclusive short 44s. I was too broke to get one back then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messer Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Yes G26 - it's one of the Lew Horton special run of 3" model 24's. I used to read Shooting Times just to read Skeeter's articles - then bought his books. A truly great story teller! It's a lot of fun to shoot - and very accurate. I enjoy working pieces of art, and this fits that description well. Happy Independence Day to all, Bob S. Edited July 1, 2018 by Messer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pointblank Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I have a big collection of Smith & Wesoon snubbies. I keep adding to it. Last week I picked up a used mint 637 for $299. I shot it today and it's great. I highly recommend this book to people who love snub-nosed revolvers: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a set of Hogue rubber grips for it when I shoot .44 mag. It is a handful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually load it with full wadcutters. I have an older model 38 airweight and I used to shoot only wadcutters in it with the skinny j-frame service grips and I didn't want to put rubber grips on it and make the gun more bulky because with the skinny grips it's perfect for pocket carry and then I got a Tyler T-grip adaptor and tried some of the Underwood hardcast 150 grain wadcutters and those ar quite manageable and are not Plus+P but supposedly they do 850 fps out of the short barrel. With your factory rubber boot grips, which add an ounce to the weight, the underwood wad cutters shouldn't be a problem. I really don't understand how anyone could buy a 15 ounce 357 magnum airweight and expect to be able to control the gun for repeat shots and to not flinch in anticipation of the truly PAINFUL recoil. I tried the 158 grain LSWCHP "FBI Load" in mine and was only able to fire one shot and had the good sense not to fire another. Those loads seem mild in my 6 inch Model 28 Highway Patrolman which weighs 44 ounces but firing the same load in a 14 ounce gun is like hitting your hand with a hammer on purpose. https://www.underwoodammo.com/products/38-special-150-grain-lead-wadcutter?variant=7865929171001 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on the 15oz 357's. I've taken some bark off of my knuckles with this w/ heavy 38's, no way would I shoot that in 357 (well, maybe once ). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collim1 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Local shop had an older pre-lock 640 in when I went in there this afternoon. It looked well taken care of. It was very tempting. I like the idea of an all steel jframe with a full grip. It would make a nice a belt gun. I would still load it with .38+P’s though. I shot 5 rounds of 125g .357 magnum through a 640 once, and I will never do it again. Gold Dot +P short barrel suits me just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
