How to shoot a snubnose revolver (j-frame)

[@RidersRange]

Nicely done. Good grip technique, trigger finger placement, reloading with the gun in the support hand to control the cylinder (it's amazing how many folks keep the gun in the shooting hand with the cylinder flopping around while reloading), and hand-loading two-at-a-time is also something that is practical, but rare. The only thing I"d add is that a revolver is the perfect tool to develop trigger control through dry practicing.

👍👍 Thanks guys, I own two charter arms revolvers. A 1980s off duty and a stainless undercover I purchased last year. I really like both and my older one has held up great and shoots extremely well too. I also have a s&w model 437 and a ruger sp 101. Appreciate all the tips on shooting them and especially appreciate the scripture reference. Hope you guys have a great day and please learn all your local carry laws cameraman. 😂

I have a the 438, the humpback airway, and you have the 437, I'd hold onto it because that's totally out of production and you don't see them anywhere on gunbroker.

Your thumb placement is very interesting. I do the same but with my off hand thumb, over the back of my right. Good vid.

[@kylewood8327]

Best way to use your support hand, gives the best grip!

[@JohnWhite-xc3md]

Last year I found a S&W Model 60 snub nose. Its hard on your hands after a box or two, but I find it very easy to quickly get a good sight picture, and its actually surprisingly accurate! Its probably my favorite hand gun. Super reliable, always ejects easily, and with a couple speed loaders in your pocket you're good to go.

[@revolverroundup]

Awsome revolver, i hope this video helped you. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@oldcop18]

I reloaded my issued Colt DS snub w/a speedloader in a 1974 gunfight w/three armed robbery suspects. In retirement my preferred EDC is a J Frame w/a speedstrip in an off pocket & speedloaders in the center console of the car. Snapcaps are a good investment to practice reloading a revolver.

[@revolverroundup]

I agree speed-loading is a skill that needs practice. I would appreciate to hear the story behind that shooting and also what you thought of the Colt d.s.

[@oldcop18]

@@revolverroundup You can read about the shooting by searching Lessons From Ken Howard on the internet. The Colt DS was a good weapon for the time and pretty light when I had to conceal it under a coat & tie. It went into evidence, was replaced by a S&W Model 10 snub and I never saw that Colt again.

[@revolverroundup]

Are you mr.howard. interesting article I read it fast. Did any 38s land? Also, what revolvers did you use on duty over your career?

[@ChaohsiangChen]

The barrel harmonics of snubbies are high frequency/short wavelength. As a result, the "slap" amplitude of the barrel is smaller, and the harmonics tend to be incoherent, causing destructive interference. Hence, it has actually better accuracy than longer barrel.

[@revolverroundup]

True

What primers? I have found CCI a little tough but I've heard a lot of the imports are really bad this way.

[@revolverroundup]

I don't recall the name of them. From Argentina tho

[@Johnny-jr2lq]

Servicios Aventuras is the name of the primers he is referring to. They come in a yellow and green box. And yes out of a simi auto you will get FTF. I don’t care what kind of simi auto you have. I bought 2k worth of them and I had FTF in my CZ Scorpion carbine, both my Glocks a Beretta m9a3 a Walther PPQ & PDP as well as a FEG 380. Now my revolvers they seemed to work with that said I’ll never buy that brand of primer ever again. Terrible Terrible primers in my opinion I think they were designed for sub gun ammo. Like a open bolt style firearm something that has a fixed firing pin as well as something that beats the heck out of its ammunition. Just a opinion not the gospel

[@revolverroundup]

Very hard primers, only a few revolvers i have will break them constantly

[@thomasarmstrong9327]

I bought a Charter Arms Undercoverette in .32 H&R Magnum not long after this video came out, but just saw this video in late August. After a box or two of .32 S&W Long and a few rounds of H&R Magnum, I'm enjoying the gun. It's easier to conceal than my usual EDC (CZ PCR), even if it doesn't carry as many rounds. I'm building muscle memory with the speed loaders, too, should I ever need that skill.

[@revolverroundup]

Nice revolver, and you practice with your snubby it will take care of you.

[@danielswartz6818]

It’s much easier reloading with the Speed Loader if you point the muzzle down to the ground, keeping it vertical then the speed order around drop right into the cylinders as soon as you turn the knob sometimes you gotta wiggle a little bit, but you seem to have the same problem each time keep the muzzle down.

[@revolverroundup]

Ya, if you watch, it's one round sticking (because they are reloads). I manually push them in. Watch the summer shoot for lots of good reloads and one bad one

[@katana258]

C.A. double action has light strikes on reloads in double action as the hammer does not come back as far before released ..

[@revolverroundup]

I don’t even click on videos where it looks like someone is going to practice their speed reholstering. The Son of Sam Killer saved Charter Arms, after it was revealed he was using a Charter Arms Bulldog. I think Charter Arms was planning on releasing a Son of Sam model a while back. 👍👍👍💥

What ammo do you recommend for self-defense in the 640 Stainless vs an aluminum airweight? Thank you for a great video!!

So my 640 is 38spl only. And remington 110grain or 125 grain +p for aluminum j frame Hornady 110 standard pressure. Most important is that you can land your shots with whatever ammo you pick.

3:10 "Now, people will say that snubbies are the hardest guns to shoot." This is why, if I had to pick a revolver guy or an auto guy to back me up, I'd go with the revolver guy, because I KNOW he will know how to use it. Can't say that there aren't good auto guys, but the profiency is far more variable across the board. In this day and age, there are only two types of people who carry wheelguns: - women whose boyfriends picked their gun for them, misguidingly because it is "easy" - guys who love revolvers in their own right and train to make each round of their limited capacity count A snub-nosed revolver is an expert's gun, through and through

Great video, info, and shooting, Gents. Watched while getting ready for work this morning. The advantage of the snub-nosed contact shot vs semi is for real, and a big deal imo. Was appalled to see Cameraman's face in the mirror! A proper mustache is the true sign of a Brahma Bull amongst the modern day chemically castrated steer. Only way to grow one, is to keep those clippers away from your face...Invest in yourself. It's worth it! 😂😂😂

[@doranmaxwell1755]

Soooo the J frame. owned a dozen or so? TO ME they all shoot the same no matter what model. meaning that they are all the same size and they all are regulated (sighted) well. My carry gun is a 340 PD.. this is a monster for recoil in a 12 ounce .357 gun with secret service wood grips... But... having put countless rounds through a lot of different j frames? I DO NOT practice with the .340 PD... I shoot it rarely and it shoots.... the exact same as every J frame duh? To hit a 5 gallon bucket at 100 yards with a J frame is no big deal. They will for sure do it. I find that the fixed sights of the J frame are very good. Depending on eyesight (mine is 74 year old 20/20 corrected with glasses) some older eyes actually shoot short sight radius guns better than longer radius. This tho many might not agree with me.... grip... your little finger is not your friend. it will pull you off target.. it is why the old 1851/1873 Colt grip works so well. My large hands (and for medium size) the pinkie will be under the grip and not pulling the gun off target. My holster is the hip pocket sticky one that totally conceals a J frame with wood grips. the 340 PD will kick.. duh? but I can say that recoil and blast will not be felt/heard in a tense situation. soooo practice with an old steel 38 spl J frame. good enough.
