Nice pistol. You'll never go wrong with a 'K' frame snubby. I have a 66 that I'll never get rid of. Great find and even better price. Good luck with it.

Nice very nice. I rarely see anything like that at the Chantilly show. Could I ask what table you found this jewel?

It was a Pennsylvania dealer (i'm in PA )
It was a Police Dept. trade-in so I'm sure there are more
out there at shows in the East.

I carried one of them puppies for years........

unfortunately we were required to carry Winchester 110 gr +p+ 38 spcl

i'd have to duracoat that one. ;)

beauty. really sweet. i think the fixed sight 3" round butts are the finest little appendix warmers a guy can own.

if you can't get'r'dun with that, you shouldn'ta been IN that bar, is what i say..

i got a model 13 and tried full bore .357s and it was Not Fast. accurate yes, but slooooow to get back on target compared to .38s.

i could keep it on the black with 38s and hurry, or get one fast shot with .357s.

but dang i hated trading that gun off. swapped for a ruger, straight across, and ain't sorry. NOW i'm hunting a 3" .38 special.. blued.;)

Nice gun and you did a nice job cleaning it up. If the grips are bit smallish for you, a Tyler T grip adaptor may just be the thing...

Congrats on the new jewel!!! I too picked up a 3 inch 65 this weekend. A buddy of mine finally sold it to me. These are such awesome firearms. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine!!!

Nice gun..... A friend of mine has one just like it, he was selling it to me for $250.00 US but I later found out that it was unlicensed and here in BZE once a gun is unlicensed it is illegal and for you to license it, its gonna cost ya a mini fortune... its a pity cause it is in similar condition and a real beauty.

and yes im saying your gun is a real beauty... lately ive been wanting a wheel gun i think i will give in eventually...Heck might even use the money i have saved for buying that Bowflex home gym hahahahaha priorities priorities...
