I just put a 3" M36-1 on layaway myself. Can't wait to bring her home.

She will keep my M65 company.

Here's another pic the same gun, before it got the improved front sight. Nicest gun I ever sold!

Here's another one I let get away--a PC-13:

And finally, one I had the good sense to keep, a PC-681:

This pic ALWAYS makes me envious. Great collection to put it lightly and the clock blows away my beloved Chelsea Ship Strike.

Here is my meager collection, but I'm working on adding to it.

3" 66-2 Ashland run. My all time favorite.

3" 36-6 and factory magnaported 60-10.

60-10 with it's dress up rosewood grips.

No nickel dash 36 in it's old HBE Pro TL. Upgraded to a sharkskin trimmed mode so a new pic is in order. My Mom's revolver. Great sentimental value and usually have it on as my BU weapon when the situation calls for it.

27-2. Pushing the limit on a snub, but it is a shorty.

657. My winter carry weapon. NEVER feel undergunned when it's stoked with 210 gr. Speer Gold Dots.

629-4 Lew Horton. 1 of 135 ever made. Grips look great IMO but WILL draw blood after 6 shots of full powered .44 mags. PAST shooting glove takes care of that problem. Bad pic. Not mine so I need to take another. Looks much better in person.

686 CS-1. FINALLY got one from Slufstuff (thank you!) and love it! TT Leatherworks sharkskin trimmed holster and a set of Ahrends RB/FG grips on order for it. Not my pic. Was my "Grain Gun" and was worth the wait.

19-4 nickel with Alessi shoulder holster. My motorcycle weapon.

Not a S&W but had to sneak in my H&K P7 PSP. Best out of the box semi I've ever owned or shot. Deadly/match grade accuracy, zilch for recoil thanks to it's gas piston system and super easy to conceal. Shown with optional Cold Steel Ti-Lite pig sticker. Benchmade folder is ALWAYS on me, except when showering.

Bruno. 105 lbs of muscle and love and loves kids. Know he's not a S&W but he is snubby. He NEVER leaves my 6 YO Granddaughters side, which sometimes bugs the h*** out of her, but we always feel safe with him guarding over her. Not a handgun but very effective if you come into the house or jump our 6' fence uninvited. Just ask our air conditioner man who came it to turn the thermostat on. No injuries thank God but scared the **** out of him when Bruno went into SD mode. He's a big ol lovey dovey otherwise.

Need a 3" 625 as I have 5K+ rds of .45 from my 1911 days. Still have 10 months of "NO MORE GUNS" probation my wife put me on. This will be my next 3" S&W.

Nice snubs men and have a great Sunday!

robotoid · #16 08-02-2009, 10:21 AM

Custom made up 65 with 3" Ladysmith barrel. Still in need of hammer bob and high shine polish.

jcelect · #17 08-02-2009, 10:33 AM

Here's some of the N frames!

My Model 65-5 just got here. I've already put in new Wolff Springs, and a new style thumb latch. I've ordered some decent looking wood grips. On Monday, the cylinder goes to TK Custom for full moonclip mods. I also am on the hunt for a 65LS barrel like Robotoid did. then I'll shine it up nice and bright. It goes to the range today.

This is the "Before" pic...

FHBrumb · #19 08-02-2009, 10:43 AM

I'd like one like this one day too... 44 Magnum is good, but a 45ACP would be a dream pistol...

H Richard · #20 08-02-2009, 11:53 AM

Just a smidge over 3 1/2", Pre-27

36-6

24-3

Zilmo · #21 08-02-2009, 02:38 PM

My only three inch Smith, but I do love it. I need to take some pics because it is now wearing CT grips. This lovely picture was taken by the gracious person that sold it to me.

CH47gunner · #22 08-02-2009, 02:48 PM

Not a great pic. But here's a couple more N Frame 3 inchers.

On the bottom is a 624 LHS & above is a Model 629-4.

jframe · #28 08-04-2009, 01:02 AM

Well, I feel humbled posting my one offering in this class, but since I've already posted it on the snubbie thread, and I've learned to post pics FINALLY, well ****, here I go again........the last one is one I just took with it's favorite holster, a Bianchi Pistol Pocket bought from one of the great members here on the Forum.

snakeman99 · #29 08-04-2009, 09:47 PM

Here's my favorite 3", 681PC "Quad-Port".

jpdopes · #30 08-04-2009, 10:29 PM

66-2 with Spegels

Jimmymac46 · #31 08-05-2009, 01:24 AM

Pardon my ignorance, but what and where did you get those Spegels? They are not only beautiful, but appear to be very comfortable. Can you provide me information about them. I will google and perhaps find them, but would appreciate any information you could provide. Thanks in advance.

OIF2 · #32 08-05-2009, 01:40 AM

I've posted this one before, but it's a favorite that I carried as my off-duty gun for years on the LAPD. Before the transition to autos I carried it on patrol, tucked into my Sam Brown gunbelt behind my speedloader pouch as a second gun. It's been converted to DAO by the LAPD Armory, action smoothed and the trigger face polished. I usually carry it now during the colder months in a DeSantis holster.

I bought them on ebay. I believe they're called extended boot grips. These particular grips were custom made (speed loader cutout isn't standard) for a forum member. When I originally posted this photo he replied that they were originally made for him. Unfortunately I can't find that original post.

akviper · #34 08-07-2009, 04:42 PM

Here are several with two 2 1/2 inch guns to make the frame look right. Clockwise from the top, Diamondback, 547, 64-3, bobbed 66-3, 66 2 1/2", 66-3, 65-3, and a pinned & recessed 13-2.

I believe that member would be Smithnut.

ditrina · #36 08-07-2009, 09:00 PM

This would qualify as a three inch..

Don't forget the classic FBI 3" blued fixed sight Model 13. This is my favorite.

butchkent · #47 08-30-2009, 08:44 PM

I had better get it in gear. I am way behind some of you. Very nice collections. Here is another of mine. Don't have any good shots of the entire collection.
