"cute" 357 snubbie.

[krashmania]

So the gf is interested in maybe getting one. Not anytime soon, but just asking ideas.

She kinda digs all black grips, likes the look, and the comfort aspect.

also, def prefers with a hammer, so not feeling the lcr.

So, what do you guys suggest as a pretty 357 snub for her. Post pics.

Looks nice with the Crimson Trace grips too.

why 357???? thats a lot of bullet for a little gun. has she shot a snub in .357?

 

[fivepointstar]

CHarter Arms and S&W is making pink snubs

Why limit her to a .357? How about a 2" S&W 500!

You can always load 38 special ammo...good to have and not need...

When you have the awesomely powerful .380 ....well thats all you'll ever have...no choices.

But when youse out wit ur homies dealin crack...az when yo gots da .357

She likes shooting 38 out of one, and can handle 357, I just think it's nice for her to have that little extra if she ever needs it, just cause I worry, and am over-protective. Though realistically, 38 would be fine, so suggestions would be more than welcome for those.

Well... She thought the rhino was cute...

Didn't see that coming.

I know what you mean. She-who-must-be-obeyed says she keeps me around here "Because you're cute."

The Chipa Rhino is on the handgun roster also.

yea I know. i just think 357 out of a snub is alot for a girl.

(I don't mean to sound sexist. its difficult to keep the muzzle on target with such a big round out of small gun. if you're using it for self defense, i'd rather be able to keep my sights on the target)

Well, she's been shooting since she was 7, (which is awesome in itself) so she is used to recoil.

S&W 360PD. Full house .357 magnum loads out of an 11 ounce revolver may change that opinion.

Make sure you put a rhino in her hands if she's interested. The proarms podcast (with Mossad Ayoob) didn't have nice things to say about the trigger pull. They said it was excessively heavy, probably due to it's complicated nature.

In a way...but if the BF also shoots it?

If it was an aluminum frame (Charter?) ...just look for the print of it on her forehead

its not always the recoil....its keeping the sights on your target after the recoil. you said it was a SD weapon.

plus one for the rhino. neat little gun that will lower the felt recoil. not a fan of the stainless or 2 in. barrel though. i prefer the 4 or 6 in. in black

My gf will not shoot revolver anymore lol a teacher of are pistol class told her that they are simple and easy to use ( she took it as girls are stupid and will not know what to do if a semi malfunctions) so she shoots a 40 cal glock now. The police trade in 38 has stayed home now.
