Snubby Lifestyle

Nice article. Since retiring and living the relaxed life of the rural country gentleman, wife might dispute that her term tends to start with an A@@@@@E and end with an e. I find the smallish revolver to fit most of my needs.

When I put on my pants I slip the Taurus 380 in my hip pocket. If I am working out in the yard most often I will put the model 60 on my hip for a bit more distance in case the need arises. Matter of fact i generally have two pairs of pants ready at any given time, the work Cargos always have the model 60s holster on the belt.

I feel perfectly comfortable with this arrangement and my current lifestyle and routine of the occasional trip to the grocery store, pharmacy or hardware. Most of our shopping these days is even pickup and we do not even go inside.

Which is not to say I am not ready for more. There are surprises waiting at the homestead should a greater need arise, and when I have to take my wife to Dr's in the big city I tend to add a tad more fire power to my belt.

I also enjoyed the article. Here in Maryland in the summer it can get really hot and muggy. I have a S&W model 38 that I can carry in a pocket holster. Shorts and a tee shirt with no printing in my pants pocket. And at 15 ounces unloaded, easy to cary comfortably all day.
 
The Snubby can be
It is for this old dawg
My always firearm companion

CONCEALMENT
1) it excels - pocket, IWB and drum roll, please -> the horizontal crossdraw
AMMO VARIETY
1) an exceptional platform for ammo variety to fit the job at hand- I live in snake country- I can have snake shot and then freedom seeds for the two legged snakes
CAPACITY
1) when traveling to areas of concern - a semiautomatic can be complemented by a Snubby in the pocket
The SNUBBY is the SWISS ARMY KNIFE of the EDC WORLD
 
Shot placement and penetration solve more problems than capacity, caliber and expansion do!

You will never find an auto at 15 ounces that’s as easy to use or as dependable as a snub. It’s a trigger finger driven device unlike an auto.

You want or love a 17 shot auto cool but most earth people are fine with a. Snub and the snub lifestyle.

It seems that mag Capacity and Red Dots have become a religion sometimes
 
It's good insight into the convenience of a snub nose revolver, but I'm more spoiled by semi-auto convenience. I haven't had a revolver for 25 years, now I'm trying very hard to get comfortable with an 3" SP101". My range time reflects it. The hardest part being weak hand placement, that darn cylinder keeps getting in the way.

I am not clairvoyant to foresee a criminals routine. Of all the criminals I debriefed in my career, none said they targeted their own 'bad part of town'. They traveled to 'nice neighborhoods' where the pickings were better and the victims more naive in terms of their personal safety. I do agree that having a snub nose is better than no gun. I want every advantage I can get. For now I'll plan for the worse scenario and stick with a 1911...and hope for the best.
