Going to the range soon to try out some snub nose revolvers for potential ccw

I guess Charter Arms will take out the browns if you know what I mean

but its hard to hit anything with a gun that small
unless its something bigger and close
like a "human" at 10 yards

I carry a sp101 .357 2.25" hammerless. For full house .357s it really isn't too bad, but it is a snub and snubs aren't much fun to shoot. Target .38s out of it are an absolute cupcake

I love the gun but it is heavy as fuck. Like almost too heavy to carry despite being a snub. But, on the bright side when you run out of ammo you can always beat some one to death with it

The trigger is heavy as balls and will definitely make you appreciate any other guns trigger. Train with that heavy sob and anything after it will feel like a crisp match trigger. I want to take it in and have the trigger worked and a night sight put on the front

If you're going to carry a revolver in anything but a pocket, get a Ruger SP101, S&W 640 or 649

Otherwise, LCR or 642 or 638 for pocket carry

What?

Smith and Wesson Model 640-3.
A little pricy but I own one and really enjoy it. It's rated for .357 but it'll take you on a bit of a ride if you do.

My lgs has the sp101 3" barrel 357 on sale for $529, yet they want $599 for the 2 1/4 barrel on sale. Typo or because there's more demand for the snub nose? I almost went today but talked myself out of it. I will probably go tomorrow.

Lcr or 642 / 442. LCR is lighter.

the old old charter arms were very high quality meant to compete with the likes of Colt during the heyday of the Python. the new old charter arms were more budget oriented models as the advent of polymer wonder nines flooded the market. the new new charter arms are higher quality since the company reformed, but are generally still considered budget oriented.
the new nitride-coated models are actually a really good deal for a revolver you can carry without having to be overly concerned about rust or maintenance.
hunting down classic charter arms revolvers at pawnshops and gunshows is a lot of fun, desu.

SW airweight 642, remove the boot grips and get the wood pachmayr grips off Amazon for 20 bucks

686.

Give a .22 WMR LCR or S&W 351 a chance.
They have heavier triggers than their centerfire counterparts for more reliable ignition, but 1. tiny guns suck to shoot regardless, 2. the nonexistent recoil makes them way nicer to shoot, and 3. you can get good self-defense .22 WMR that penetrates 12+ inches of ballistics gel and expands to ~.40 cal for the same price as cheap 9mm FMJ, so you end up with a gun that weighs almost nothing, holds more rounds than a .38/.357, and is cheap and pleasant enough to shoot that you can and will practice with it consistently.

NAA Pug

Snub nosed revolvers are pointless.Just get a revolver with a proper barrel. That extra 2 inches isn't going to make it any harder to conceal. Hell, I've concealed full size 1911s before, so a K frame should be easy.

snubs feel like ass and are just shit all around

just get a single stack subcompact

Just get a glock 42 or 43, same ballistics, better recoil characteristics.
