It never fails. I was just looking for reloading stuff at my LGS with no intention to buy another gun and low and behold, this temptress was calling to me. I checked it out and it locks up tight, has a butter smooth DA pull, and looks to be in very good condition overall. Do you think it's a good price?

The 15s are wonderful shooters.

I would rather pay a little too much and have it, than wait for a price drop and see someone else give it a happy home.

Is that bull bbl standard? Never saw a 15 with such a bbl. Puts me in mind of the 4" Model 14, or did that have the Patridge front sight? Help, somebody!!

The late M-15's had that heavy bbl., like the M-10-6. I prefer the earlier tapered barrel, but those heavy ones point well and help a little with recoil.

I don't think the heavy version is very common. I'm not a collector, so don't know how desirable it is from that angle.

I'd hunt a stainless gun, but if you like blue, it seems a fair price today, if it's as nice as it looks. In coastal Washington, I'd think you'd want stainless. I suppose you'd be paying the $500 cash price?

Obviously not a tapered bbl, but the camera angle makes it look a little bigger than actual. Search gbroker "15-6" & pick revolvers, you'll see a couple there.
I think the price is fair, specially for a lgs.
