The M13s were eventually "replaced" by non pinned and recessed 3" barreled M65-3s around 1982 or 1983; but, apparently, both M65s and M13s were issued interchangably prior to the "trials" of various "wondernines" in the mid 1980s. From the comments I have heard, the guns were well regarded but required the immediate addition of Pachmayer grips!

I attended the FBI Academy in 1986 and was issued a 3"M13, as were all my fellow agents. The M65 was not an issue weapon with FBI, but I believe it was DEA issue at the time. All the issue FBI guns had wood grips and Pachmayr grip adapters. We got the revolver, a Safariland JK-2 speedloader with Safariland pouch, a thumb break holster and a 2x2x2 drop pouch. The leather was tan in color and from Bucheimer(?).

dnater, thanks for more good info. I now know the holster/ammo setup I need to locate.
