Went to my LGS today looking for a 586, no luck. The dealer says he's in possession of a Combat Masterpiece Model 15 in 99% condition and that I should take a look at, so of course I do. While the 99% condition is questionable it's definately a well taken care of pistol, pinned hammer and beautiful wood grips with not a scratch on it. He's asking $499 and says it's priced right. This seems high to me and I'd like to get your opinion. This will be my first snubby and I would like to do it right. My intended use is strictly for HD and I'd like to thank you all in advance.
Model 15, K38 - 2" barrel

That's a $700 find in SoCal, except that I haven't seen any.

I have a trade pending on one myself in as new condition, No Box or Papers. Model 15-4 Square Butt, 2"
I am trading a 66 No Dash 2-1/2" Snub for it.
The one I am trading on is the only one I have ever had my hands on. I am not sure how rare they are, but seem to be way more rare than 66 Snubs.

The price is right for a common 4 inch model 15 and a real deal for a snubby 15. Buy it.
Git-r-done! Grab it. Get it. Make the deal. Go for it. High five the man. Just don't leave the store without it at that price!
My LGS has one as described at $575 plus tax - won't come down a penny.
For a 2 inch model 15? Not a commonly available piece and demand is ultra high for short barrel revolvers these days..

Seems a little high to me. But that's probably what they sell for. I've not seen one for sale FTF - ever - and just a few 4" 15's. So, if you want it, get it. I prefer the stainless guns myself like the 66 snub.
Good luck!
Good luck!
It would be a deal in my book. By the way they shoot very well.
I am with almost everybody else -- go buy it. Don't even try to dicker. Just whip out the five Franklins and do the deal.
What, you are still reading? Go!

Wow, I was really surprised the majority thought $500 is a good deal as I was thinking $400 tops .
I had a nickel 15-2 snub and purchased it locally from a local gun store for $350,
That was about 2 years ago.
I know I wont win any popularity contests for saying this but,
IMO Unless you collect CM variations the snub 15 is an odd bird ,
It was only offered in SB, has the HB profile of a Model 19 and only chambered in 38 special, The cherry on top is target sites on a 2" snub.
Lastly at the time these were a cataloged item the Model 15 had a tapered barrel so the 15 snub is actually closer to the Model 14 frame
While it is unique Im sorry but a 2" Model 14 just makes no sense to me,
A 4" Model 14 definately, a 3" RB maybe, a 2" SB snub....nope.
If this is for home defense and occasional range use perhaps a 4" Stainless Model 66 or 2.5" snub for the same $500 might suit your needs ?
For CCW I prefer either a 5 shot J frame Model 37 or 6 shot K frame Model 12 Airweight snub.

Good points, but they do look cool.

I have two M15 snubs. They feel better to me than my M19 and M66 2.5 inch. (The difference is slight but there.) They both shoot accurately and
are a lot of fun at the range.
I would like to find a nickeled one to complete the trifecta.
