I agree and would add that I will always have one in my pocket!

I'm often adorned with an LCR. It's always on my ankle for back-up when in the big city.

My S&W 642 is a frequent companion.

The last two guns I’ve bought were alum alloy framed snubs.

my 642 PC likes to go on walks with me every so often.

442-1, 640 Pro, 43C, 351C.

Probably what I carry more than anything.

Carry one in an ankle holster along with primary EDC pistol. Don't leave home without it.

S&W 638 because humpbacks are just cooler
Been carrying and shooting snubs for a long time. I'm comfortable with them and can hit what needs hitting. JMHO use whatever each person is comfortable with and can hit with, not what I think is cooler or anyone else thinks is "best"

I had a 638; I liked it, but the Centennial frame just fits my hand and makes it point naturally.

My loaded 5-shot .38 (Special) weighs more, and is larger than my 11-shot loaded P365...I'll pass. I'm sure there are better/lighter .38's than mine, but again, I'll pass. Not selling it though...first handgun I ever purchased (even though the sights SUCK).

1lb 8oz for .38
1lb 7.4oz P365

Actually, my preferred snubby is my 3rd Issue Colt Detective Special. Only a little bit bigger and six shots. I shoot it considerably better. This was my first carry gun. Sadly, these days its worth too much as a collectible to be toting it around every day.

This. I’ve carried a lot of different firearms over the years, but an old J snub just (for me at least) THE easiest firearm around to carry. In a Mika or similar pocket holster they just disappear in a pair of jeans.

Still one of my favorite snubs—a pre-model # Centennial Airweight “Lemon Squeezer” .38 that had a Fitz Special treatment.

This has, without a doubt, the nicest trigger I have EVER felt on a J-frame (including Performance Center, and Cylinder & Slide massaged models); there is no stacking, just a perfectly smooth press all the way through.

Did I mention it printed a 2”, 25 yard, 5-shot group, offhand, using 158gr SWC’s?

I really wish I could carry it in today’s legal environment; I would without hesitation.

I like this little Taurus, about the same size as the old Terrior. Fits in a hip pocket like a dream. It's definitely my most carried handgun.

Matter of fact this same setup is what I am carry into SAMS club in a minute, watch included.
