Snubbies!

Meet Velma and Velda:

Velda is a square butt Model 34 in .22 LR,,,
I named her after Mike Hammer's secretary.

Velma is a round butt Model 36 in .38 Special,,,
I named her after my beautiful sister.

I purchased the 34 as a cheap-to-shoot understudy for the 36,,,
But the guns having different grips gave me some grief.

The Pachmayer Compaq grips have the exact same shape,,,
No matter what the actual grip profile originally was,,,
This gives the guns the exact same grip and feel.

That has to be dubbed “awesome” right there. Yessir. That is just plain darn awesome. I mean, you ain’t talkin’ about some cheap Airweight here, you’re talkin old school snubby coolness.

Thanks druryj,,,

Those girls really are an awesome pair,,,
And thanks to the inexpensive cost of .22 ammo,,,
I've practiced enough with them that I can hit well and quick.

How's the accuracy on the Model 34? A 34-1 is on my wish list, but I was planning to go with the 4" barrel length.

Model 49-2

all three qualify

Hello coolhandluke:

I have a 4" model 34 as well,,,
So I can attest to the difference in accuracy.

With the 4" revolver I can hit a clay pigeon at 25 yards, pretty much 90% of the time,,,
That's with me standing and bracing on the pole of the range cover.

With the snubbie revolver,,,
That goes down to probably 70% of the shots.

The adjustable sights are very good on the snubbie,,,
It just that short danged sight radius that's the killer for pinpoint accuracy.

At combat distance though,,,
The sights are for the most part irrelevant,,,
I practice point shooting so I pay very little attention to the sights.

The handgun puts the bullet exactly where the gun is pointed.

S&W 940: it takes me for a walk almost daily.

Pics of both the revolvers below have already been posted so sorry for beating a dead horse guys. Just testing out the light box setup that Gunbuffer gifted me. I was pretty excited to find the stag S&W knife in the first photo and wanted to get a shot of it along with the 49.

Lucas, if you ever settle on a single hobby, you're gonna be awesome at it.
