For all of my fellow snubnose addicts...

I have always loved snub-nose revolvers, carry one often, and thought that I might share a resource that I came upon recently.

CE 'Ed' Harris contributes frequently and there are also some of Stephen Camp's articles featured in the issues.

Thanks 481 - I bookmarked it to read with my morning coffee! My normal carry for a longtime was a Smith 36 J frame snub. I still enjoy carrying it depending on where I'm going when I'm not carrying my Glock 26. Everyone should have at least one snub!

Some things just go together naturally.

Reading about snubbies over a good cup of coffee is one of them.

Ed Harris' article on the .38 Special made my day. Got a 3'' Ruger SP101 that handles them with satisfying accuracy so it was nice to read about one of my favorite cartridges being such a stellar performer.

And, yes, everyone should own at least one snub gun.

If you like the writings of CE Harris here is a good place to visit. I have learned a lot from reading his articles.

Stephen Camp's book Shooter's Guide to the Airweight J Frame is back in print. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the reference.

Yes, very interesting and enjoyable as I was unaware of his website there.

I am very much a Ruger ''guy'', so I was pleased to find his article on the .45 Blackhawk convertible.
