Don't pass up on this one! The 2 inch Md 15 is a gem of a gun. Mine is very accurate and very fun to shoot. And let's talk aesthetics. The square butt on a two inch snubby is not normally seen, but IMHO it is an extremely cool look. I'd buy another one if it crosses my path.

That's a nice revolver, OP.
The Model 15 Combat Masterpiece with a 2" barrel was only made with the square butt. The 2 1/2" Model 19 Combat Magnum always had the round butt.
Now, I can only speak for those made before 1982; I believe that might have changed in 1986, when the Model 15 underwent several changes. My collecting interest ends in 1982.
Note: The short barrel Model 15 was only introduced in 1964, during the 15-2 period.

VERY NICE! Buy it. I would love to have one just like that. I have missed out on several over the years. Sometimes I think that they should have had a RB and that adjustable sights on a two inch gun is dumb but I really like them and think they just have a Kool factor! I actually like them better than a 2" SB model 10 or M&P.
This one was made in 1975.
Perfect upgradeI love mine. Grips are numbers matching, but I still decided to upgrade.
A lot of people think so, but that's not how S&W made them. In my case, Rogers' excellent grips solved the problem. Some folks may not find the SB frame a problem, anyway.
Yes, that would make it a Model 15-3. Enjoy! The 2" barrel on a Combat Masterpiece is a hoot to shoot. Mine really does think it is a target revolver.
Yes, all the Model 15 snubbies are square butts. Here's mine, a Model 15-2. The s/n (K509199) is 1962 even though the 2" wasn't introduced until 1964. Bit of a mystery as to whether it sat at S&W from '62 to '64 before being shipped. My wife's grandfather was Chief of Detectives in Calif. from the 50's thru 70's and this was his carry gun. Great revolver- very smooth and accurate. Enjoy!

This one started out as a 2" Model 15. I then ground the frame into round butt configuration and re-serrated the backstrap using a checkering file. After a number of years, I became bored with it as a two inch. So, it then got the heavy PPC barrel, Black Nitride surface treatment and Hogue Conversion Grips (round to square).

Here's a Model 67 no-dash, to which I gave the same round butt grind and checkering file serrations:
So, if you have a square butt K-Frame S&W, you want it to be a round butt, and you have a bench grinder and a checkering file, you can have it.

Very nice 15... I would really like to have its twin.... some day when I grow up, maybe.
Enjoy brother.

The ones I've seen over the decades have all been square butt.
No. S&W didn't make the 2" with anything but a square. (Of course, like everything else, there may be special orders out there. But no cataloged model.)
