I like 3" K frame guns

[scout II]

Here is a couple of family pictures of my S&W 3" K frame guns. The top left gun is my model 65-5. Top right is a 10-8 in 38 special with factory target grips that match what the original box has marked on it. The middle left is a nickel 13-2 and the middle right is a 13-4. The bottom two guns are both 13-3's. I need to find a blued 13-2 and a nickel 13-3 and 13-4 to add to this set.

Nice collection. Great taste in guns

Don't you need a 10-9 tapered barrel?

What about a M64 and M547?
Nice looking set you already got.

What M547?

That's what I was going to say!

I likey, I only have one 3" its a 65-5 Ladysmith with a bobbed hammer, just ordered a new El Paso Saddlery leather holster for it, I am going to start carrying it once I receive the holster. If I cant get the job done with six hollow points, then I need to spend more time at the range.

3" K-frames ??? Really ? Yuck !!! Why in the world would you like those outdated, obsolete old things ?!


Just kidding. "3 inchers" are my all-time favorites. Congratulations, you have a very nice collection. Now I know where all the good ones are.

I second what someone else said......you need a good Model 64, 3" to add to those.

It can also be carried using a Barami Hip Grip
I have the same gun and that is what I use

Agree the 3 inchers have great lines
Nice collection

Very nice collection. My model 10-5 3" ex Aussie police gun is my favorite of all I own.

It is very cool to see the stainless finish compared to the nickel finish.

Please list me in your will for some of those K frame 3" guns!

Here is my 65-5 from the early 1980's.

 

[ABPOS]

Yeah, I think that's the most 3" k frames I've seen in one collection. And the nicest!!!!

Those thicker grips on the top right and bottom left are really nice too.

I sold my 3" 547, but I have a 3" 66-3 that I pick up this Friday. Wouldn't mind a M65 Ladysmith, though.

 

[629shooter]

That is one heck of a collection!

I need a few more. But, I don't think I could ever part with my 3" 65-3.

Here are my two favorite 3" Ks.

If you are only going to have 2 3" Ks, you definitely have the cream of the crop! Very nice! That 13PC is a grail gun for many. I would love to have one.

My 65 Lady Smith is as close as I am going to get for now.

SO! Who in their right mind doesn't love 3 inch barreled revolvers?

 

[Old Corp]

I'm limited to just two. A M65-3 3" and a rather unusual M&P 3" tapered that according to Roy, has a ship-date of 1958. Need to get it lettered one day.
Both shoot/carry great.

 

[old bear]

I only have one, a M 65-5 ladysmith that I lucked into late last year. It's a joy to shoot with any 38 special and most .357 Magnum ammo. As well it's much more accurate than I am.

Question: this 3" K frame feels much heavier then either my 2 1/2" M-19 or M-66. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?
