    Based on my experience in conducting entangled handgun training for the past 18 years it can work but is low percentage.

    Thanks for the information. You have the voice of experience in the entangled matters. I was only tangling with cans and various targets of opportunity to see if i could actually shoot that way.

    Yeah man I think it’s way more viable outside of contact distance.

    I think youre right. Entangled would be very difficult.

    I wasted 6 or 8 bricks or so of 22 rimfire ammo messing with it. Its a workable thing with a little practice, but entangled would be much different to say the least.

    I like my M638. Light and easy to shoot. My wife likes to carry it. The little hammer tab helps extend my range should the need arise. Just take a little extra care to keep it clean.

    Interesting...I’m thinking of adding a snub to my rotation carry. I like the idea of one handed draw/shoot

    Didn’t want to start a new thread but...

    ... Ed Calderon just wrote this up. I think the same individual he’s interviewing contributed to the “La Pistola” post on Ed’s blog, discussing the initial exposure to the spooky snubs.

    Lastly, if you look at Ed’s IG he recently did a snub class and there seems to be a lot of Fitz specials in attendance; this plus Ed’s endorsement of the 22 LR and 22 Mag as carry cartridges piqued my interest, plus all the threads here. I’ve got a quiver of 442s and need to add a 3” LCR but maybe a 43c is called for as well, if only for practice.

    FWIW I don’t “get” the Fitz mods in a modern setting but if folks are keyed in enough to attend a class maybe there are merits beyond the obvious ease of trigger access.

    Do you happen to have a link? I'm coming up with nothing and would love to read that.

    I think it refers to the use of 9mm snubby revolvers for "spooks". The stated advantages were, if I remember it right, that 1) you left no casing behind for ID, 2) as it was a 9mm, people would look for a semi auto 3) all the concealment advantages of the snubby that the article linked and many threads in this sub section of the forum have often talked about.

    The basic idea is that in an NPE country, a 9mm snub added to the difficulties for the authorities to track you down.

    Sadly I couldn’t find it either; was on mobile last night so didn’t even look it up then but it seems that Ed has done some renovation with his site.

    Wasn’t on Archive.org either.
