I picked up a new to me Model 14-3 today, first gun I've bought in months, first gun bought in Texas since we moved here. Stocks (one side stamped) matched to gun; I'm a bit conservative in condition - a little rub marks on the muzzle, slight turn ring, a spot of missing varnish on the base of the stocks - 90-95% in my opinion. Very beautiful bluing. If my guessing is right - SN is sometime around 1968.

Whoa! Very nice specimens each! Especially that K38!!! That will most probably be your favorite!!!!

Good job!!! I have a 14-3 from 1977. It came with target stocks. Awesome, aren't they? Still some good deals to be had. Enjoy your 14! I am picking up my 3rd. gun of the year today. What is wrong with me? Bob

Congratulations! You found yourself some nice ones. I am very fond of .38s, especially when configured in the S&W K frame. They make me look good when I go to the range!

Beautiful Model 14!

My 14-3 from 1974 is a recent purchase too and I gotta say, one of my favorites.

These Model 14s are beautiful guns and need to be shot.

I used my K38 14-2 in many Police Combat matches in the late 60s into the 70s.

Some of the matches I was sandwiched between Jimmy Cirillo and Bill Allard on the firing line.

One competition in Jackson NJ I cleaned the 50 yard match with the 14-2 and factory Remington 148gr HBWC.I never did that again.

Watching Jimmy Cirillo shoot Police Combat was like watching a shooting machine.

I bought a 14-3 when they came out but never used it in competition.

Enjoy it and shoot it often!
