Yes indeed!

This tapered Model 10 SB that falls in the RCMP range is favorite. To my knowledge these guns were all LE orders for Canada, France or Australia (or over runs of same). I am also hanging on to a RB 65, but not as tightly.

 

My 65-5

 

Nice catch!

Always liked 3"'ers. Recently sold my 686+ 3" to someone who wanted it more than I did.

Got a 3" model 10-5 in my desk drawer right now...

 

Leo, Very nice 3" SD revolver, and the Altamont Boot grips look great! But, how is it to shoot with those boot grips? I, myself do not care for wooden boot grips for shooting.....particularly .357 Mag.! I prefer rubber Combat grips, with a place for your pinkie, to give you a solid grip. I have a Smith M-10 2", wife has a M-36 2" (used to be mine!) and a M-66-1 2 1/2", all have rubber Combat grips. Bob

 

Well Guys........guess I'm just a 1/2" too short again!!!!! klnflaianlnhvaoavo Bob

Well Leo you done gone and done it yet again. Am bringing lots of goodies to Phoenix this coming weekend. Hope to see you there. Bring cash!!!

 

3" bbl. & round butt's are my favorites!

 

Nice find Leo....................

I've shown this piece on the forum many times before, but if you really want to see my favorite revolver with a 3" barrel.....

It wasn't manufactured like this........it began life as a military version 1917, but became a custom handgun after returning to the USA post Lend Lease. This has been one of my favorite carry pieces ever since I acquired it some 40 odd years ago. I feels good, carries well, looks sexy, shoots fat booletz, reloads quickly................and makes me smile every time it goes "BANG".

 

3"? Okay. :lol:

Looks pretty long on an M frame, doesn't it.

 

My 36-6. That's 3"

 

My only 3 incher is this M60 Pro, but I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to acquiring a few 3 inch K frames if the opportunity arises

 

36-No Dash.....

 

It is hard to beat a 3" barrel on a K Frame! Ours here, a model 13:

Nice score Leo! Another fine addition to the collection. Looks fantastic and I bet it shoots the same. Congrats.

 

Some of that 3" perfection going on round here.

model 65-5LS

My yin and yang 64-3 and 10-8 .

Of course a 60-4 . Long ago stolen ,,,,by my wife,,,,, but I still have a picture,,,, and get to clean it .fhfjjjj Such is married bliss

 

Kind of hard to find,,, and even harder to photograph well. It's too dang bright!!!!!!!!!

A 3" nickel 24-6

 

While seemingly completely unrelated these two 3" J frames share the same model number.
One is hammerless ,alloy airweight , fixed sights , and chambered in 32 mag.
The other has a hammer is blackened stainless , adjustable sights , and chambered in 327.
Only a dash number separates them ????

--------------------------- model 632 ----------------------------------------------------- model 632-1

 

Then ,,,,, if you go outside the S&W box ,,,, there's more 3" goodness


-------------------------------- A 3" SP-101 in 327------------------------------------------And a non-factory barrel got me a 3" Dan Wesson 357--------------------------

And some 3" GP-100 with different grip sizes.

 

Here is one of my lady Smith 3" 65.

 

Leo and other posters:

Great guns and yes I like the 3"ers very much. Here are a few of mine.

Model 65-2:






Model 66-2 with a McGivern Bead Front Sight:





The proportions of the 3" barrel on the K-Frame are not too long and not too short - but Just Right.

 

Here is mine.

3 inch Model 36

 

I'll bump this 3" barrel thread up on last time with my 696...
