Another great review from The Nutnfancy Project. I have a snub nosed revolver myself and I’m a fan (though I understand they are severely limited) mainly because I’m at heart an inner city boy and think of guns as something you pull out quick because someone or something is coming at you. I like revolvers, as I’ve said before, because I’m a simple and old fashioned man. The snubby in various calibers is ideal for a “kit gun” or what some old timers called a “tackle box gun” because it was kept in (you guessed it) an angler’s tackle box. My kit gun is a inexpensive Charter Arms .327 Federal which I happen to love, even though it is much maligned in gun shops and on the Internet.

TNP does a great job going over the negatives of the Bodyguard (and really most snubnose revolvers) without overstating them. The S&W is not a cheap gun, but they are not terribly expensive if you’re going to have one handgun and want a snubby. If you’re getting a snubby for a second gun or as back up I’d shop around. The video is about 40 minutes long so settle in but this is an in-depth review that is useful for anyone considering snubnosed revolvers in general as well as the Bodyguard in particular.
