Is that a 3'' barrel on the one with purple on the cylinder ? Nice lil revolver perfect size.

A most excellent group of snubbies!

Here are my Snubbies. I made the 1858. Cut the barrel, filed a new dove tail for the front sight, rounded the grip frame. Lots of fun.

That's one hell of a loading lever

My C&B snubby loading lever is called the **** Dastardly Tower of Power.
I will not mention the loading/unloading process for unmentionables because we do not mention unmentionables here.

I have a Walker snubby and I love it

That's one hell of a loading lever

The cylinder lock is from Midway USA.About $4o if I remember .

Bunk, nice collection! I have a thing for short barreled revolvers, that picture might have made me drool a little.

Nazgul, nice job on the 58, the grips look comfortable.

Do you have to get a new grip frame for the bird's head grips or are the original modified?

 

[Eutycus]

Why is that cylinder purple?

My first thought too! I will admit though not really functional, I do like the aesthetics better with the loading lever than without!

It is the original frame. There is plenty of room to round it off. You have to relocate the pin I n some cases, not really hard.

The cylinder is stainless. I have several extra cylinders, they are easy to swap out when shooting. It does look purple I hadn't noticed until you said it. Just the reflection when taking the pic.

My Army and Navy snubbies both came with those bird head grips.
While they look neat I could not index them when I was shooting CAS frontier gunfighter. They just never gave me a good solid pointing in the righr direction grip. Thrded them for a pair of Army grips and never looked back.

Hi Bunk,

When I read your snubbie post last December I forgot to ask a question at the time. I have a Remington snubby and I haven't gotten around to shooting it as yet. I'm curious as to what powders, grain loads and bullets you have shot in your snubbies. Also, if you have any chronograph data. Thanks in advance for a reply.

Howdy.
I load the snubbies just like a full size gun. About `5 to 17 grains of FFFg in the .36's and 20 or so in the .44's.
My chrono got lost when i moved, but I am more concerned about WHERE it goes not how fast it gets there.

My short-barreled Walker. I load it the same as the full-length barrel.

I do not care for a rounded grip.
