These Model 15's are both 4" barrels...
One has a target trigger and target hammer...
The other is a more basic model with beautiful bluing....
Still kinda strange on acquiring these both in the last 3 1/2 months...

Funny how that works, I've had guns on my short list, IF, I'd ever see one.
Then Boom, everywhere I look there they are. Lets me find a shooter & a safe queen.
