I mean, after all the hoopla about the snubnosed revolver, I just had to feature the holy mother of 'em all, the Snubbie from Hell™... A twelve ounce, fire-breathing .357 Magnum wrist-breaker? Oh hell yes, sign me up. I even went through the considerable pain of filming five rounds at dusk just to catch the amazing "oh my gosh I think the world is coming to an end" fireball out of the little gun - there's an excellent screencap from the video as well as the video itself in the post.
And if you look closely, you'll see holsters from not one but two artisans from our very own gunnie community...
That is all.

T-Bolt wants Two of them. : )
It wasn't so bad, recoil wise. As long as I don't catch more shrapnel from it.
The ex-gf had one. Neither of us 'enjoyed' shooting it. I lacks the pleasure of a model 28 4", 27 5" or 65 3".
I enjoyed the review right up to the point where I noticed what appeared to be stray JayG leg hairs still attached to the ankle holster. Just before brain-lock set in, I remember wondering about ankle-beards.

I have the M&P version with the alloy frame and steel cylinder. It weighs a couple of ounces more than the titanium cylinder but is still somewhat intimidating to shoot. My interest in small, lightweight, powerful guns goes back to the 70's when a friend was mauled by a bear while hiking in New Mexico. I spent a great deal of time in the backcountry as well and wound up buying a Ruger 44 mag, which was way too heavy to carry backpacking. I then bought a Charter Arms Bulldog which I carried with handloads based on Elmer Keith data (another ouch to shoot) for many years. The S&W has replaced the Bulldog for backcountry duty, and I expect it to last much longer than I will.
I remember shooting that stupid gun of yours. Three rounds and I had to go home and take a nap.
