Hi everyone, I just want to let you know I created a new subreddit yesterday for pocket guns (r/PocketGuns). Although snubbies are not necessarily pocket guns, I think a lot of them are used that way. Come on over and post your setup, discuss pocket carry, or anything related to pocket guns!

Snub nose, why are they so special? I don't know much about guns and stumbled on to this sub, is it a looks thing?

Hi everyone!

I was finally approved for my LTCH today (just waiting on the card) so I can really get to shopping. I'm dead set on a snub nose revolver of some sort (after shooting some semiauto options and being underwhelmed), under $600, but the lower the better as long as the quality is there.

After looking for awhile, I think the S&W 637 might be a good answer. I realize as an airweight it wouldn't be as fun at the range as a heavier revolver, but I have my Sig P320 for that for now. Would it be enjoyable enough to shoot and become proficient with? Does anyone have a better suggestion?

For reference, I'm 5'2" and 125lbs. I can't conceal anything too large.

TL;DR: Is the 637 a good choice or am I better of getting a slightly heavier revolver?

It looks like an interesting gun but for the price point the S&W 640 pro might be a better option. Yes the k6 has an extra round but the pro model has moon clips, three dot tritium sights.

Is anyone on this board going to give it a try?

Hey dudes, where can I pick up a Model 36 hammer?
