    Here it is with the Altamont bonded ivory grips. They fit perfectly and are made well. Great grip for the price. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk252/JmeFL78/IMG_20150420_115834.jpg

    Questions about my first model 15-7

    Thanks Tony! Yes, originally I was looking at a model 15-7 that was a bit more beat up than this one. I went with this model 15-3 because it was in better shape and the gunsmith said it looked to have been shot less than the 15-7. I'll definitely post pics with the new grips as soon as they get...

    Thanks for the replies! I love this gun already. It may not be the prettiest, but it's great at the range. Also a nice gun in the nightstand for home defense. I'll post another pic of the gun with bonded ivory grips when they arrive.

    Questions about my first model 15-7

    Picture Here it is. I ended up going with an older model 15-3 because it was actually in better shape than the 15-7. Definitely has holster wear but mechanically it's in GREAT condition. It's extremely accurate and a lot of fun to shoot! :D I ordered a set of bonded ivory grips from Altamont...

And I am a novice. I watched some YouTube videos to get an idea of how to inspect a used revolver and get the best...

    Questions about my first model 15-7

    Thanks Engine49Guy! Great advice. When I have the extra cash I will start the hunt for a LNIB. For now I just wanted to see if this was a decent price for a used fairly beat up model.

    Questions about my first model 15-7

    Thank you jinx! -And I appreciate you responding. I ended up calling Smith & Wesson and inquiring about restoring the gun. They said I can replace the grips but to leave everything else as is. Dings, scratches, and worn blue finish. They show it was shipped directly to the correctional...

    Questions about my first model 15-7

    Hello, I just put money down at the local gun store for a used s&w model 15-7. Apparently the state of florida corrections officers handed over a bunch of these that their officers use to carry. They were asking $349 per gun. I picked out the one that looked to have the best finish and the...
