No. The day I was there he had two 3 inchers left. The one he sold me and the square butt riding on his hip. He said that one “stays there”.

The same shop has eight remaining 4inch 65’s and 66’s for sale at $800 a piece. He originally had 121 Smith and Wesson’s that he purchased at an estate sale of a former Wisconsin County District Attorney.
