I like 3" K frame guns
Here is a couple of family pictures of my S&W 3" K frame guns. The top left gun is my model 65-5. Top right is a 10-8 in 38 special with factory target grips that match what the original box has marked on it. The middle left is a nickel 13-2 and the middle right is a 13-4. The bottom two guns are both 13-3's. I need to find a blued 13-2 and a nickel 13-3 and 13-4 to add to this set.

Don't you need a 10-9 tapered barrel?

What about a M64 and M547?
Nice looking set you already got.

I likey, I only have one 3" its a 65-5 Ladysmith with a bobbed hammer, just ordered a new El Paso Saddlery leather holster for it, I am going to start carrying it once I receive the holster. If I cant get the job done with six hollow points, then I need to spend more time at the range.

3" K-frames ??? Really ? Yuck !!! Why in the world would you like those outdated, obsolete old things ?!
Just kidding. "3 inchers" are my all-time favorites. Congratulations, you have a very nice collection. Now I know where all the good ones are.
I second what someone else said......you need a good Model 64, 3" to add to those.

It can also be carried using a Barami Hip Grip
I have the same gun and that is what I use

It is very cool to see the stainless finish compared to the nickel finish.

Please list me in your will for some of those K frame 3" guns!
Here is my 65-5 from the early 1980's.

Yeah, I think that's the most 3" k frames I've seen in one collection. And the nicest!!!!
Those thicker grips on the top right and bottom left are really nice too.

I sold my 3" 547, but I have a 3" 66-3 that I pick up this Friday. Wouldn't mind a M65 Ladysmith, though.

That is one heck of a collection!
I need a few more. But, I don't think I could ever part with my 3" 65-3.

If you are only going to have 2 3" Ks, you definitely have the cream of the crop! Very nice! That 13PC is a grail gun for many. I would love to have one.
My 65 Lady Smith is as close as I am going to get for now.

I'm limited to just two. A M65-3 3" and a rather unusual M&P 3" tapered that according to Roy, has a ship-date of 1958. Need to get it lettered one day.
Both shoot/carry great.

I only have one, a M 65-5 ladysmith that I lucked into late last year. It's a joy to shoot with any 38 special and most .357 Magnum ammo. As well it's much more accurate than I am.
Question: this 3" K frame feels much heavier then either my 2 1/2" M-19 or M-66. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?

No wonder they're so hard to come by, scout II has them all!
I didn't get the big deal till I acquired a 3" M-64 a couple months back. It is a very handy barrel length.

All of my 3 inch S&Ws are N frames. Several of my Colt Detective Specials are 3 inch guns and I own two Colt single action army guns with 3 inch barrels. SO! I guess I really like them.

What an outstanding group of revolvers. Love the 3" K Frame, but I only have one. Anyone know anything about the smooth RB stocks on the third from top left and very bottom left? My 13-4 3" has them. Were they shipped from the factory? When I received the revolver, it had some very attractive plain white plastic stocks, and the smooth S&W stocks were in the box.

If anyone's interested, Cabelas in Thornton, CO has a 3" model 10 RB that's nickel plated in their Gun Library. At $699.99 I think the price is a bit steep.
