Top Tips for the “Snubby” Revolver!

Whether You are new to shooting or not most of us have heard of the Snubnose revolver. You may or may not have the affection for shooting or carrying one but, they do have their purpose.

They actually have been the most popular type of revolver for concealed carry or what I like to say “light” everyday carry for decades!

Now, I have been a big fan of Smith and Wesson revolver’s over the years. But, before some get their feathers ruffled, I would like to mention Some other very reliable Manufacturers for Snubby or EDC Revolvers that have done well in the industry: Colt, Ruger, and Taurus.

Moving on…

The Reason I put this video together was to share some insight for For those who are wanting to carry a gun that’s a little lighter, maybe less noticeable, easier to wield, not as bulky with a holster and works with their lifestyle and fashion.

Whatever Your reason I have found that my snubnose revolver is not only quite effective for defense but also very easy to carry regardless of my wardrobe.

Let me start by saying that I typically carry a Sig Sauer P365XL or a Glock 19, but there are those days depending on my wardrobe or activity that I prefer to rock my Snubby for convenience. I know I won’t have all the capacity of the others but with consistent training and great defensive ammunition I can be confident.

Sidenote: it has taken me years to shoot consistently, confidently, and on-demand with a Snubnose revolver. I didn’t even carry it on my body for running until I put over 3000 rounds down range (personal conviction).

Please understand they do have a steeper learning curve than that of semi automatics.

Some Of the challenges you will face will come from trigger and hammer manipulation (if you have a hammered model), Loading and reloading techniques, recoil management and grip handling. These are most of the differences you will have to overcome.

I’d also like to mention that whether you are shooting it for the first time or wanting to carry a snubnose revolver; You should evaluate your own abilities and your level of dexterity for safe gun handling. 

I’ve found over the years teaching students from all ages and walls of life that some students have issues manipulating a hammer, a harder trigger pull and opening an closing the cylinder for loading or extracting.

My recommendation would be to go test drive some! Rent one at a range, shoot one of your buddy’s Snubby’s, even take a class with one to see if it’s a good fit!

The Snubnose revolver has been around for a long time and all though not as popular as semi autos they are a viable solution for “light” or minimal everyday carry…
