New snubbie

[jimmydeuce]

Stopped in my LGS to pickup a grip plug for one of my Glocks and somehow walked out with an S&W 637 Airweight. I'm not much of a revolver guy but I figured it'll be a good pocket gun for the summer. And hell, everybody needs a J frame.

That's a nice snubby.  It will do you proud.

I told the guys at the shop I was ordering all my parts online from now on.

Got the same gun (and a 442 Airweight also) and they are probably the best pocket guns made.  Get a Galco IWB like this one and you'll forget the gun is there http://www.galcogunleather.com/stow-n-go-inside-the-pant-holster_8_446_1302.html

Nice Snub !

Nice snub nosed! I've been wanting one For a while now.

A snub nose is on the "when I have more money to waste" list.  I figure it will be a nice way to round out the collection and very practical for carry if I ever decide to use it for that.  I always figured I would just pick one up at a pawn shop or off the trading post here, but that one is beautiful enough to make me consider one new out of the box.

Congats. I had to admit both those things myself, got me an LCR a few months ago.

 

I'm not a big fan of pocket carry, but when I need to - five sure rounds of 38spl is good, and the revolver shape is quite excellent for drawing from the pocket.

I've pocket carried the j frame all week. It's light enough that you just forget it's there. I looked at a bunch of different holsters but ended up getting a cheapo blackhawk pocket holster for it because it's barely big enough for the gun. No extra bulk at all. I've got a set of Altamont boot grips on the way and will probably try a  pocket holster from Mika just for the hell of it.

Nothin like a good snubbie

[LngRngShtr]

keep biding my time for a 640 or a 642 

 

 smaller than my G-23

I have a 637. Real light weight. Kicks like a horse, but a good tradeoff for carry.

You are correct on both points sir.

Congrats on the snubbie. I love my 642. Will be curious to find out what you think of the Mika. That is one I have been considering. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I traded it before I had a chance to order the Mika. Happens a lot LOL.

And I'm probably going to buy something to replace that one with today. :woohoo:
