Your besterest ever snub for IWB?

[wheelyfun]

I like my Ruger SP101 DAO for IWB.
No hammer spur to snag on clothing........

[Pond, James Pond]

Wheelyfun:

That is a seriously good looking revolver. I could really get used to that!!

[peggysue]

My tiny Taurus View can slip in my front pocket.

[royal barnes]

I don't carry a small revolver much anymore but if I did it would be either my Colt Cobra or Agent. Cobra is stock. Agent has a bobbed hammer. Both have factory grips and Tyler T's. Either would be carried in a custom AIWB holster by Red Cent Leather.

[Semper Paratus]

Smith 640 with 125 gr Hornady Short barrel .357 loads. I have a speed strip with 125 gr 38S +p in the pocket. Sometimes it is a pocket pistol sometimes IWB sometimes OWB, depending on attire. I might add it wears a set of VZ round butt grips. This is my warm weather rig. Once we get cooler with heavier cover garments the Bobtailed commander with 2 spare mags comes out. Now the 1911 is back in season the 640 is in for vision and cosmetic procedures. The Gun doc is going to put an Ashley big dot night site out front, bead blast the whole thing and then re cerrocoat the backstrap and butt in flat black...The better to not be seen when IWB or in a pocket.

[peggysue]

My old Cobra light weight. Tuned and bobble. Most of the finish worn off. Cary great and shoots better than I can.

Have been trying to post a picture but cant...sorry I give up.

[CajunBass]

I'm not a snubbie fan, and I've never carried ISW, but if I did, I'd just use the same old Model 12-2 Airweight I use for OWB carry. It's the only "snubbie" I've really liked.

K-frame, six shots, aluminum frame, magna's with a T-grip. What's not to like?

[mavracer]

I have a couple lightweights but they get pocket carried, for IWB I don't mind a little weight with a good belt so my best set up for carry would probably be my custom Speed Six, Smooth DAO and a XS big dot.

but I also like my SMith 19 and Colt DSII as they are both so dang purdy.

Best loaded with .38 +P.

I always thought S&W's engineers must have drunk-pranked the world with the scandium .357s. "HO HO HO, just built a new lightweight .38, let's slap .357 on the side and see what suckers we can get to shoot it!"

My S&W351PD gets a lot of pocket time. It's the lightest J-frame you can get and it carries 7 rounds of .22mag, in my case Speer Gold dots.

My 2" Model 10 with a round grip frame is a close second.

[sgms]

In short barreled revolvers for all day carry I like the S&W model 36 3" for IWB, the 2" Mod.10 & 64 with round butt some times a 2" mod. 15 for OWB and the model 642 for pocket carry.

AK, I think you mean that you removed the spur from the hammer, not the trigger.

For IWB, the second-series Colt Detective Special.

I consider any Detective Special to be just fine for IWB. The cylinder seems just a tad bit slimmer than a K-Frame Smith and the 6th round is a good idea.

But I have given up on 2-inch wheelguns because I cannot shoot them with much accuracy. So it is 3-inches for me.

3-inch Detective Specials are rare. I build one using a late generation DS 3-inch full-underlug barrel, and an old 4-inch Police Positive Special. It balances and shoots so much better than the 2-inch guns. It also works in IWB carry just as well since that extra inch of barrel is not really noticeable.

And the Cobra and Agent are too light for enjoyable shooting. An all steel gun isn't that hard to carry.

Bart Noir
Who still hangs on to his first 2-inch DS. Just doesn't shoot it.

Yup! Youre right.

I did remove the SA notch from the trigger as well though.

[Tortuga12]

It's a little heavy, but in a pancake holster, pretty darn comfy:

[TB9]

S&W 638-3 and a couple of speed strip's iwb in a desantis softuk .

[eastbank]

very early 2" S&W SS .38spl md. 60 with the hammer bobbed(no miss fires), 2"charter arms factory bobber hammer 44 spl. and a 2.5" S&W 686 SS 357 mag. they cover me from hot weather to colder weather. eastbank.

[Brutus]

Colt DS because as SGT. Friday would say "Just the facts Mam".

[old-dog]

Despite owning 7 snub nose guns at one time, I only carried my S&W 340ScPD at 11 ounces loaded with Buffalo Bore 150 gr. Hard Cast wadcutters with a minimum penetration of about 18" out of a short barrel. No worries about expansion or penetration. I have long been a believer in wadcutters for self defense. I rather have the penetration than the fraction of an inch expansion that so many ooh and aah about.

[badge851]

My most comfortable snub nose guns to carry IWB are...
• S&W® Bodyguard™ 38 Special w/Crimson Trace® laser @ 14.2oz (Mdl BG38)
• Taurus® Ultra-Lite® 38 Special @ 16.8oz (Mdl 85SS2UL)

[540mope]

My IWB carry piece is the 640... loaded with Federal 129 gr. Hydra Shok +P. Rides comfortably in a De Santis "Flex-Tuk".

[Hammer It]

Hi
I Like my S&W Model 431 PD revolver that is chambered in .32 H&R Magnum. it has a six round capacity and is a Air-Weight. I Bought my wife a Model 632 Centennial Air-Weight as well that has six rounds and is Rare as they Only made 1500 of them both shown below. Regards, Hammer It

[tomrkba]

3" N-Frame is the way to go in 44 or 45 caliber (357 Magnum is acceptable with eight shots).

Those little pea-shooters just don't cut it.

[Hunter0924]

I carried the Charter Arms Bulldog test revolver for a bit (though OWB) and it carried easily.
