Who needs a barrel? Not the Snub Nose Revolver, with its barrel being just inches long. Of course, this sacrificed power and range, but this gun wasn't ever meant for that. It's meant to be concealed easily, which it does with its compact design, and shot at close range which is why you need to keep it hidden until it's time to pop off! Perfect for your Wild West or Gangsters, but also not out of place in a 20th century police officer's hand. Are you the cops or the robbers?
