Snubby Safety?
« on: January 10, 2008, 01:52:31 PM »
I am looking for a change.. something different..for fun..  I am thinking about buying a small .38+P snubby. Something like a j-frame size. Which ones have good safety features such as transfer bar safeties or drop safety features? I know some of the small Taurus revolvers do and some don't. I went to S&W's website and didn't see anything about it. I would like to get a snubby that has an internal hammer too. The reason being that I don't want to get a snubby and at some point drop it and have the firing pin strike the primer. This happened to someone I know. But they had a older revolver. And yes I know you can leave one hole in the cylinder empty for safety. But, why? If you can now get a snubby that has a safety measure for that? Any suggestions for a safe snubby?

I love my 642...pre key lock and not +p rated.  Fun to shoot.  Carry it when I'm not carrying my Colt Officers ACP.

Smith and Wesson just reintroduced the model 40, jframe, with internal hammer and grip safety. Only in.38 spl, but very nice.

Don...last 20 years for sure. I have an S&W Airweight, a Taurus Titanium and a Charter Bulldog...when the Bulldog gets back from Mag-Na-Port, I'm thinking it's going to be my NUMBAH ONE SNUB!
