    Default Who likes their .38 snub

    Caliber and stopping power arguments aside. Who really likes their snub?
    I never thought I would own a .38 snub much less love the thing. Started out just looking for a pocket pistol for just "running out" or for shorts weather. Don't
    like the tiny autos(keltec and such) so started looking at .357 snubs figuring on carrying .38 in it. Purchased a S&W 637 airweight because the magnums were just to bulky for my requirement. 4 months later I am still astonished how accurate it can be.
    15 yds I average 3 out of 5 in a 3" group (often tighter)with the remainder about 4" with the occasional stray. At the $340 it cost I can't complain. What can I say I love my snubnose.

    A 38 snub is one of those things which major attraction is that it's easy to carry. Not the easiest gun to shoot well, not "best" for hunting, self defense or targetshooting. But it's one of those things you have to have. I have a couple of them.

    It used to be as an LEO the only authorized off duty gun. Now I'm retired and can carry whatever I want I usually carry...a 38 snub.

    I never cared for the airweights as the few extra ounces never bothered me.

    Love my 642. Best carry gun ever devised.

    I have to call BS on your claim of 3" groups at 15 yards. I shoot MAYBE 6" at 10 yards with my 642 and I have yet to see anybody do any better.

    If anyone has a snubby and hates it, let me know I'll take it off your hands.

    For the record it was 3 of 5 in the group. I have no reason to bs anyone.
    This is why I love this little gun. If I were flinging them
    into 5 or 6" groups I would be a little luke warm about it.

    At 25 yds I put 2 in the 9 ring, 1 in the 8 ring,1 in the 7 and the other barely hit the paper (silhouette target). Granted that one was luck.

    +1 I have the exact same Airweight and am considering added CT LG-405 LaserGrips. Carry it with +P 38SPL. IMHO 357 Mag in that small of a pistol is a tough sell.

    I love my 637-1 Airweight, I just got it recently and I enjoy carrying it more than the the semi auto .380. Though I can shoot 1.75" groups with the .380, I wish I could do the same with the snubby.

    a properly loaded snub gun isnt a thing to mess with ........ as to accuracy ..... well my fav carry gun is a taurus 65 with 2.5 inch tube .............. i can hit at 75 yds very often a clay pigeon ....and when i miss , its still close......... at 25yds a coffee can hasnt got a prayer
    ....... the accuracy is there you just got to get into using it
    ...... i have a hp22 ...... you should see what i can hit with that cheap thing
