Default Great Gun

We're all entitled to our personal preferences. I believe the credit for the Model 13, 3" rests with the FBI as it was their last revolver before transitioning to autoloaders.

It should be noted that handguns intended for law enforcement are better off with fixed rather than adjustable sights. It's one less thing to break should the gun get dropped or whacked across a numbskull.

I own a Model 65 3" and love it. Everything I ever put through it shoots close enough to point of aim, even to 25 yards, that fine-tuning it for point-of-torso accuracy is not necessary. I've since moved on to 9mm autoloaders for SD but my Model 65 (a stainless Model 13) stays with me until the end.
