Nice revolver. Is that a Round Butt or Square Butt? Looks like a Round but hard to tell with those Pac Grips on.

Round butt. And the Pachmayr girps are the round butt sort.

Nice 65. One of S&W's best in my opinion.

Very clean underneath grips.

Why unfortunate? That's what I'd put on it! And you got them for free and without having to search for a set.

I was looking for a 3" 65-3 in nice shooter condition but failed to find one I liked enough to buy.
Not long ago one was offered to me by a Texas forum member not far from my location but he insisted on shipping and not a face to face.I passed on the deal.
I was able to get an excellent 3" with the PC Magnas 13-2 but prefer SS over blue these days.

I have one to also. The NYSP markings add to the cool factor.

Congrats! They are great shooters. I just picked up a 65-3 4" barrel. I am a huge fan of fixed sights. My Model 10 bull barrel and my new 65 are my favorite S&W revolvers.
