Well this is what I ended up with today.
After buying and selling more autoloaders then I care to mention. It took me several years to realize that I’m able to shoot K frames faster with better accuracy then all but one autoloader I’ve had.
My personal conundrum was I wanted a 4” barreled K frame foremost, and secondly would have preferred it to be chambered for .357 for the versatility.
A number of years ago I had a Mod 19 that went all out of timing due to some feeding of some fire breathing reloads. Now this has me a little leery of buying a .357 K frame with out knowing its history. But if needed for personal protection it seems that +P loads seem to have adequate ballistics “going by the numbers” and while looking for a revolver that would seem to be fail safe from any misuse I decided to search out a Model 15.
In short I picked it up today, cleaned it and promptly went to the range. It’s been around 12 years since my last K frame not including a 617 and almost forgot how nicely they fit my hand and how quick they get back on target.
BTW, could anyone out there know the date of manufacture for serial number
3K210XX?
