Congrats, my favorite shooter is my Model 15.

I love my 15-3, it may very well be my favorite firearm I have owned to date.

They make extended A2 flash hiders that will bring a 14.5” barrel to 16” (must pin and weld). If only the end of the barrel is damaged and cutting down to 14.7-14.5” would be enough removed then that would be a good option. Here is a link to one: Schuster Extended A2 Flash Hider 1/2-28 Thread...

You have kept those beautiful, those nice darker colored target grips have me drooling.

Hands down one the best looking and shooting revolvers of all time.

Thanks everyone for your input. He has decided not to shoot it, after looking it over good in sunlight today I am not sure I would have been able to bring myself to shoot it either.

Congrats, that’s a beauty!

Got a few pics today...

Will grab some photos next time I am over visiting with him. Serial is N17xxxx so guessing maybe 1973. I know the receipt is dated 1974. Not sure what he paid, he doesn’t usually talk prices. But, I know I had told him to try to not be over $600 in it so doubt he is over that or at least not...

Personally I shoot everything of my own, I will say there were a couple times I picked up some really nice older unfired guns and had a twinge of guilt shooting them.....but that clears up after about the first 1,000rds! My dad on the other hand never sells a gun he buys and tends to...

My dad has picked up the S&W bug from shooting mine and got to looking for a .357. He came across a 4” 28-2 online that appeared to be in decent shape, looked to maybe have some light rust here and there, hard to tell as the photos and lighting weren’t the best. But it did have the box and tools...

My 4" 15-3 is hands down my favorite handgun I have owned. Well balanced and a great shooter.

Howard's Feed N Wax is good stuff. I use it to clean and condition the fretboards on guitars when I change strings. Always impressed with how well it cleans and after it dries and is buffed it really makes the grain look great. I have bought guitars that had sat for years and the fretboards have...

Not really that familiar with the 3rd gen S&W’s, but I do know there was a 5906 Performance Center model that had front slide serrations and black controls. Might try a Google search of S&W 5906 Performance Center and look at the images that come up and see if they match up.

I bought these through topgunsupply.com, had them here in 3 days, but they can also be found on eBay through a seller named Gripseller. Have bought through both and they both are good to go. The plus side of buying through eBay is the seller provides pics of the exact set of grips they are selling.
