New IWB for the 9mm Snubby
Yesterday I picked up my new Charter Arms 9mm snubby. Just finished an IWB holster for it works great and comfy.

Nice holster work. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the 9mm revolver you picked up. I had a 3" S&W 947 that I gifted to a good friend. It was a nice shooter.

Re: New IWB for the 9mm Snubby
Was at the range yesterday, set the target at 25 feet. The first few rounds were shooting a bit high. Trigger pull was a little over 7 pounds the revolver is double action/single action. All spent rounds dumped out easily. Loading was easy and best there are no moon clips needed. The revolver was very comfortable when shooting at 20 oz. it had a light recoil at a free energy of about 3ft.lbs.daytime dave wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 7:06 pmNice holster work.

Very cool that moon clips are not needed with a DA revolver. Nice shooting, too.

I had a Smith 940 for a while. That one needed the clips.
Another one of those guns I never used, yet still kinda regret selling.

Re: New IWB for the 9mm Snubby
Yeah, I've had several revolvers that required moon clips. Took bit to get used to using moon clips, but with the right tools and enough moon clips to load for a single range session, not bad. I'd just load up the moon clips before I went to the range.

Agreed, used to have a Smith that used moon clips and I didn’t care for them at all.North Country Gal wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 9:05 pmVery cool that moon clips are not needed with a DA revolver. Nice shooting, too.

Re: New IWB for the 9mm Snubby
Back in 86 I was going to buy Smith and Wesson 9mm revolver model 547 it did not use moon clips. Sadly, they went out of production in 85 as there was not a demand for the 9mm revolver. They were over 800 bucks then and it was a pipe dream as I could not afford one. The Charter 9mm was 490 bucks a hell a lot cheaper as technology has caught up.Hatchdog wrote: ↑Sat May 25, 2024 11:11 amAgreed, used to have a Smith that used moon clips and I didn’t care for them at all.North Country Gal wrote: ↑Fri May 24, 2024 9:05 pmVery cool that moon clips are not needed with a DA revolver.

I have three Airweight J-frames lightened up with titanium .357Mag cylinders reamed for 9mm.
I like Tom Threepersons holsters. Also like moonclips for speed of ejection and reloading.
