As a man who carries a snub nosed revolver everywhere, the best thing you can do is shoot the same gun a couple of cylinder fulls a week. It’s the ultimate point and click tool.

[@LionquestFitness]

Good advice from someone who's been there and back.

[@thealsatian4232]

@@LionquestFitness every range session includes 10 single draws from concealment and single hits at 10 yards.

[@LionquestFitness]

@@thealsatian4232 That's a good way to stay sharp on a ammo budget. For those who can't draw, start from low ready position.

[@bryanmartin2271]

It would be be a nice night stand gun yes avoid trouble but sleep lightly and be ready 😴 for a intruder and protect yourself and the family you love so much

[@kentwilliams3326]

⁠I would include firing multiple shots with one's carry ammunition. For example: Draw and fire 1 / Draw and fire 2 / draw and fire 3 /Reload/ Then, draw and fire 3 / draw and fire 2 / draw and fire 1. That is only 12 rounds, but good training. Also, practicing firing strong hand only and weak hand only is a very good idea. (Background = 15 years as a federal law enforcement academy firearms instructor)

[@jammieeubanks9226]

Why would someone carry a revolver today? I keep an ammo journal on all my handguns detailing the ammo they like and don’t like. My semi-auto Smiths, Berettas, Rugers and Colts all have particular rounds they are finicky with. The journals for my J and K frames have the word “Bang” written next to every round tried. That’s why I carry a wheel gun. Great video Greg!

[@LionquestFitness]

That's hilarious!😂

@ZoneFighter1 Being a retired LEO I appreciate Webb was pro police and felt police officers should have a high degree of professional conduct. On the other hand, it is disappointing that Webb was anti 2A. Another TV cop who was avid gun control was Jack Lord who worked hard politically to bring strict control to Hawaii. The Constitution doesn't say guns are for only police and military, but that "...the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Arms was capitalized for a reason.

[@LionquestFitness]

Oh no! Another gun addict has joined the snub club!

[@richardkluesek4301]

Greg, I remember reading an article in GUNS magazine about 1973 regarding an Air Force study of sidearms. Personnel from 18 year old recruits to 55 year old NCOs were provided with contemporary Cold War/WW2 and law enforcement service revolvers and pistols available at the time. No wondernies, polymers, yet, and the .40, 10mm, and .357 SIG were yet to be. The K frame S&W in 2" and 2 1/2" barrel were fastest on the draw with the most center mass hits on target. Small pocket pistol ppk types were close second. Larry Potterfield Midway does a 1 minute presentation, quick timed snap shot from the bench demonstration too, but from a holster would be more relevant and useful. Revolvers still have relevancy.

[@LionquestFitness]

Absolutely.

[@dangerman007]

I love my Joe Friday Model 10 snub round butt (made in 1973). All the reasons you mentioned, plus the excellent shooting, prove this is a great carry option. It has a butter smooth trigger, and I can see why LE carried and loved these snubbies. Just the facts, Maam!

I think about your experience with the Model 10 snub every time I get Joe out. That configuration of the Model 10 has quite an unsung history for police detectives, special agents and military use. It is no wonder that Jack Webb choice that for Joe Friday's sidearm in Dragnet.

I find myself carrying my Taurus Model 85 more and more these days. It’s light enough that it’s hardly noticeable on my hip, and it’s been very dependable and accurate. I’m getting a real appreciation for revolvers.

[@LionquestFitness]

I really like the 85. I bought one of the last ones produced for my daughter.

[@steedandersen]

I'll always consider the model 10 snubby THE detective revover.

[@cleondubois1270]

Welcome back Greg.... We did those 2+1 "failure drills" from the 7 yd. line as part of our qualification course. In the early days the issue S&W Model 66 loaded with issue110gr. 357magnums was used. ......Finally got to the range yesterday & as part of my drills, I practiced the 2 plus 1 from the seven yd. line with all my Glocks. .......Had a Model 10 snub years ago. Another one I let get away.

[@LionquestFitness]

It's sad, but the SC qualification course had to be so basic there were no failure drills. You would have had about a 50 percent fail rate or worse. Hopefully things are different these days, but from what I've seen on the range, probably not.

[@sgtmajtrapp3391]

My first Detective issue was a 2" S&W Model 10 round butt .38 Special. It was a nickel version. I purchased my own revolver a Colt Diamondback .38 Special 2.5". Over the years owned and used blue steel Model 10's in the 2" ROUND BUTT ( my favorite) .38 Special revolvers. I've even hit running rabbits with one so they can be very accurate and a smooth DA the more its used the better it gets. Yep have one to this day, B/S round butt blue steel and carry it some too when I feel nostalgic, old school but still viable today.

[@LionquestFitness]

That 2.5 inch Colt Diamondback was relatively rare back then. I wouldn't even begin to guess what one would go for today.

[@sgtmajtrapp3391]

Well I would guess 1500.00 probably more if I could find one. I had a 3" Colt Python .357 with the small grips.I never fired and traded it for something I bet 30 years ago, stupid huh.

@@sgtmajtrapp3391 Ouch!

[@JaredAF]

Great point you make about it being an "ugly gun" pointing at you and the psychological effects therein. Of course that model 10 is FAR from ugly, but when you look down the barrel of a loaded revolver you're gonna see those .38s looking right back!

[@CATmover1]

I carry the S&W 642 everyday for many of the same reasons you cite. But, the biggest reasons it has become my always gun is because it is so comfortable, easy to conceal, quick to draw, and very capable.

[@jefflockaby702]

Thanks for another great video, Greg...LOVE those older S&W wheelguns..the leaf spring K frames have such a better trigger pull than the coil spring smaller J frames....& you made some good points about a 2 inch barrel being less likely to be grabbed by an attacker during a close quarters scuffle & that a MAJOR disadvantage of semi autos is that they can be pushed out of battery in a struggle & won't fire, whereas that doesn't happen with a revolver...you also mentioned the wound channel from a gunshot & some people don't realize how absolutely devestating a contact gunshot is..if the gun barrel is touching the attacker's body...or even a few inches away...the expanding gasses that propel the bullet down the barrel follow the bullet into the wound, causing even more tissue damage as well as contaminating the wound with all sorts of gunpowder residue that can lead to infection IF the attacker survives the gunshot initially...those gasses continue to expand inside the wound & burst outward leaving a distinctive starfish shaped opening... Your videos are awesome and those are "JUST THE FACTS"...👍👍

[@LionquestFitness]

Hi Jeff - a reality check, in more ways than one, is for a gun owner to google autopsy photos of gunshot wounds. Its gruesome and ghoulish but it wakes you up to the responsibilities of firearm ownership. It also dispels the foolishness of the fear mongers who take the absolute worst situations that law enforcement encounters and uses that as a template for how ordinary citizens should carry and train.

Really like that round butt. Replaced those original standard walnut grips to a combat style grip made from exotic rosewood. Much better for my Godzilla sized hands. The .38-spl +P gets you close to the performance of a .357-mag eithout all the wear and tear. If asking would I go with that #10 for a SHTF event? You bet cha!

[@jeffanon1772]

Two biggest advantages of carrying a two inch K frame is that the leaf spring trigger pull is soooo much better than the coil spring J frame and that, unlike almost every semi auto pistol, when it comes to close quarters self defense, the revolver will still fire if the barrel is accidentally or purposely pressed directly against the attacker's body...an action that places almost every semi auto, except the Springfield XD, out of battery & inert... A contact wound like that is even more destructive & deadly than a shot from several feet away...the rapidly expanding gasses follow the bullet into the wound ...still expanding & ripping the tissue in a distinctive starfish shaped wound and the powder residue and everything else going into the wound increases the chances of serious infection...

Thank you for this nice video and for your wise words

[@LionquestFitness]

Hi Noelle! Thanks for stopping by!

[@gerardklebba8634]

Nice revolver. When you can double action like that I guess glocking is no problem! When you have to. Say, do you enjoy .44s? Like specials or even maybe M69? Glad yer back!

[@LionquestFitness]

You said something a lot don't get. You master a double action revolver and a Glock is easy. I've never had an opportunity to shoot a .44. I was looking for a single action army in .44, but since the ammo crunch hit I felt I'd be buying a paperweight.

I'm a 30 year old who has all the fancy plastic plastic guns but I never feel under gunned carrying my 2inch pre model 10. I carry crossdraw in a milt sparks holster.

[@LionquestFitness]

Cool!

[@harolddavis4138]

Really some good old school information here. What do you think about semi-wad cutter vs full-wad cutter for self defense? What was the old school of thought between the two? I continue to appreciate your opinions and videos. I have a 3 J-frames and 1 very cherished model 10 Snubbie.

[@LionquestFitness]

Well, the thought back in the the day was to go with semi wadcutters in a snub because the edges would cut and tumble. I was reminded of this in a recent gun Sam video.

[@harolddavis4138]

Thank you for your highly valued advice.

Great vid, Greg! I bought a Speed Six 2.75” revolver from my local gun shop in great shape. I also use it in my carry rotation actually! (2) questions for ya’…Is it sabe to carry a 1987 made revolver? Is 2.75” considered a snub nose revolver? Take care and thanks for keeping Mr. Holster in our rotation and please say hi to Mrs H for all of us! Keep on truckin’💪🏻🇵🇷

[@LionquestFitness]

Yes - absolutely on the age. Joe Friday for example, was made in 1968 and I carry it sometimes. 2.75 I would consider a snub.

That’s a handy revolver. Have you ever tried the Chiappa Rhino 200DS. It’s quite ugly snubbie (unless you watched _Blade Runner_ as a kid) and slightly larger/heavier. But it totes 6 rounds of .357 magnum and its weird design allows for more manageable recoil and quick follow up shots. The old timers knew what they were doing. Their gunfighter philosophies were already well developed even if a little odd. For example, I’ve yet to see anyone rocking a Fitz revolver these days. Though there’s no doubt they were effective. Some of these old guys are still with us. I used to read Masad Ayoob’s articles in gun magazines (no way to confuse his name with another guy’s) as a teenager and he still does instructional videos on KZbin. And I’m only a few years younger than you.

[@LionquestFitness]

Chiappa is out of my price range - but in terms of psychological intimidation, I'd say it would be an ugly gun to look down the barrel of. I was reading Massad in all kinds of print media back the eighties. I still enjoy watching him on the Bill Wilson channel.

[@3Pillers]

👍 I like it. Nice revolver, nice shooting.

[@LionquestFitness]

Nice day to shoot as well! I'm sick of rain, wind and cold!

[@totizabayle377]

I have a few nice S&W revolvers, but that model 10 snub nose is from now on would be my next target Greg.

[@LionquestFitness]

It took me about five years to find that one! Good luck on your search!

[@joemorganeatmyshortschannel]

That's an awesome revolver for me no need exciting news on revolver front but in last month after saving for six months through the bad winter I got my second lower but this week I got sold my shotgun to a neighbor and ordered my upper that came Wednesday and now have my a2 carbine on my Oracle lower that's a dream rifle and a bear Creek side charger on an am15 so my goals are met 2odern rifles with over 500 rounds just in mags and a modern 9mm with 11 mags via my taurusG3 and gun I buy can be anything I want after I throw sights and a sling on new rifle new rules pushed me to save up and finish but that model 10 is a dream gun

[@LionquestFitness]

Nothing wrong with being practical and prioritizing things in uncertain times. Last summer I traded two revolvers for another AR so I could arm at least one other person.

[@joemorganeatmyshortschannel]

@@LionquestFitness thats kinda what i did too ive still got two older guns that im not parting with my savage 1917 in 32 acp and my h&r 922 9 shot 22

[@Desperado3248]

I just retired this year as a physician. Years ago I saved a retired cop from colon cancer. He gave me a shield with his badge number to carry in my wallet . I looked at it and smiled. He said “ do you know how many guys wanted to swap shields with me?”Yup badge number 714,NYPD. Carried it for years until the number faded and the shield broke

[@LionquestFitness]

Amazing story - thanks for sharing!

[@francisgarner1751]

Hey I have the new taurus 856 defender 3"barrel glow front sites I carry mine every day it's SWEET!!

[@roberthahn3710]

I used to have a 1947 factory ROUND BUTT PRE MODEL 10, what a joy to shoot. I carry a K6s now and prefer revolvers to semis.

[@LionquestFitness]

You couldn't beat those old pre-Model 10's

[@chrispena4582]

Good advice
