38 spcl or 22 lr/mag snubby

[gapoppy1315]

I'm currently looking for a 38spcl or 22lr/mag snubby to be used as an outside knockabout gun. Don't want or need a safequeen. Must go bang every time, and no rust. Honest wear is fine and expected. I'm looking to spend $200.00-$250.00 and can meet in Columbus, Thomaston, Greenville or Manchester/Woodbury. Revolvers only please, as the gun will be loaded with snakeshot. gapoppy1315@gmail.com

Have a NEF snub 22 lr in ss, 9 shot. In your range but near carrollton. You get up toward west ga/atlanta any?

Think you can get a new EAA Windicator snubby close to $250.
Supposedly a workhorse kick-around type revolver.
Presume you had no luck checking local pawn shops
Good luck with the search

One thing you might like to research before selecting the Windicator 2" snubby.
Ones I've seen online have a shiny flat barrel tip.
As I understand it all Windicator imported as 4" model w/crowned barrel tip.
EAA cuts end off to make the 2" model.

Thanks for the tips, but I never buy from a FFL Dealer. Haven't since the old days of GON, and certainly not since theODT came along.

Having tested all the CCI shotshells for revolvers (.22lr, .22 mag, .38, and .44) and fired them into blocks of clay, Solo cups of water, sheets of cardboard, and metal cookie containers at distances from 5 feet to 5 yards...

... I strongly recommend the .38 over either of the .22 rimfires as a snake /rat killing load.
The centerfire shotshells have a bigger payload of larger and heavier pellets that have enough penetration, but the rimfire shotshells are really weak and offer little penetration.

Just my two cents' worth.
