I had a 2 1/2 here that all of us shot for a coupla years. Somebody wanted it more than me and it went away.I’d buy a S&W 500 Magnum snubbie if they sold one.

Sorry that I didn't get to shoot that one .Love shooting a buddy of mines 8+ inch 500. Just cost to much for me ammo wise. $2 a round is highNo one was happier than I was that this thing disappeared............
I sure hope so!If you have two identical revolvers, but one is a snubbie..does it always sell for more?
Why is that though Jeppo?I sure hope so!
That’s cheating!!!!
In my case, the face was meant to indicate that I’ve got several and believe there isn’t one didn’t cost me more than the equivalent longer barrel.Why is that though Jeppo?
What is the specific attraction of the snubbie? Tiny? Carry-ability? Looks cool?
They sure as hell don't shoot any better than say, a four-inch.
Must be something. Ruger still makes a crap-ton.
@BatteryOaksBilly has had a bunch of these things. What is it Billy? What makes the snubbie sexy?

.I pay more for snubbys. This does Not apply to N Frame S&Ws. I pay up for all of those except the 8 3/8.
Friday, for me it's always the portability thing. The next thing is still true here I pay more for snubbies. And to Eddie's Point I recently sold several 3 inch guns. I got decent money But I left plenty of meat on the bone for the buyer. The 3 inch inch guns are perfect for me also. All the reasons @Etruett mentioned are true, but for me, they feel just Right. Eddie let me have a 3 inch RB model 10 recently that wears beautiful stags and Tyler T Grip. I could get by with that as an only handgun if I had to.Everybody wants a 3" Now it seems. They are perfect.
I think you are SafeAnytime someone would like to challenge the Wizard with it shooting Full Bore Magnums, I'll gladly loan it out and provide the ammo as long as I get to watch.
You just can’t leave it alone, can you?And a 3 inch K frame is perfection. But, another manufacturer uses that description for their handguns.
You do realize that you were my targeted audience, don't you?You just can’t leave it alone, can you?
Precisely why I provided the response you expected.You do realize that you were my targeted audience, don't you?
I have an odd snubby. A Taurus 415T.but a .357 Magnum load through a J frame is no fun and I'm betting that less than 10% of the shooters out there can handle one effectively.
It’s actually a Samsung.Jeppo took a video of it at his birthday party last year. It is a Canon
I have never seen a square butt Bodyguard!!!! Cool!!!!I love my short barrel handgunsView attachment 206593
It's not a square butt. It's the grip which is a target grip,converts round butt to square buttI have never seen a square butt Bodyguard!!!! Cool!!!!
Soooooooooo, I've STILL never seen a SB Bodyguard!!!!It's not a square butt. It's the grip which is a target grip,converts round butt to square butt
Me either.but now you can imagine what it would look like The way the grip is cut on the back strap it will fit either sq or round buttSoooooooooo, I've STILL never seen a SB Bodyguard!!!!

2.5" Titanium frame 5 shot 41 mag. 21oz unloaded.
They made this in stainless too, but the Ti models seem to be rare. I took off the ribber grip, replaced with a Pachmyer. The barrel is ported.
The grip and porting make it fairly shoot-able, but yeah, I wouldn't enter any speed shooting contests with it.
That's another unicorn. Never seen a 45 long colt, lots of 45 Colts thoughI've got the 45long colt version of that gun, it's one of my favorite summer time guns in a belt slide you just don't notice the weight and can get away with a light leather or web belt, do most of my shooting with it using cowboy loads to tame it down a bit and it's a great fun gun to shoot, when it's got defensive loads in it then it's a whole 'nother gun.
I'm just a sucker for big bore snubbie revolvers, so personally, I think they're worth more than the 4-6 inch varients of the same models.
