snub-nose

Short, upturned feature

A snub-nose is a short, slightly turned-up nose, or anything with a similarly blunt, stubby profile.

Most often it describes a short-barreled revolver: He pulled a snub-nose from his ankle holster.

As an adjective, snub-nosed describes the physical feature: a snub-nosed child, a snub-nosed pistol.
