One is a bit chewed up, literally (I guess thew little bastard got hungry), but all of it's still there.
People keep “advising” people that are looking for a first gun to get a snub nose.
The snub nose is not the gun for a novice.

I never advised that. I advised a k-frame revolver. Most k-frames have a 3” barrel as the shortest available. If asked, I would recommend a 4” as a first gun. I was only questioning your reason for not recommending a snubnose. The snubnose j-frame is hard to handle during recoil, with short sight radius, and a 5 round capacity. That’s why I wouldn’t recommend one for a novice. The “you’ll shoot yer finger off!” story is not a good reason—same as it wasn’t for your first BB gun.
