Shot a bunch of guns today out back and this one is still one of my favorites. 2 inch Model 15. Gun has some miles on it, but still shoots great. This was at 50 feet with 125 gr Remington HP.

The 2" Model 15 Combat Masterpiece is a dandy little gun. I am not surprised either about you liking it nor about it shooting well.

I will take issue with your definition of "old," however. In 1964, I was already in high school. I refuse to think of that making your revolver OLD.

When I retired from the job in 2011, I rewarded myself with a M15 two inch, a gun I had wanted ever since I was issued an M67 prior to the academy. It’s still almost new, all matching in the box with documents and tools. I overpaid for it, even back then, but it’s a trophy I won’t sell. Nice gun!

We ("I") would like photographic evidence of this Mod. 15.

A photo of my wife's bedside and carry Mod. 15 with Crimson Trace grip is attached. It is as accurate as it looks.

I’ve always thought it made more sense to have fixed rather than adjustable sites on a snubby whether j- or k-frame but the 2” model 15 always looks great - like the exception.

One interesting thing about the Model 15 2" is that it is the only K target square butt revolver I know of that came standard from the factory with PC Magna stocks. The one I own still has its original (numbered) PC Magna stocks on it.

I certainly can't disagree with "simplicity" when it comes to fixed sights on carry guns. The deciding factor on the Mod. 15 was a $300 price tag and availability.

There is however, a Mod. 10-5, 2" in reserve.

The 2" M15 is a gem!

I've owned a couple or four over the years (three blue and one nickel).

The only thing I can say about them with respect to making them better would have been if they made a round butt version, now that would be a fantastic package......

We inherited this Model 15-2 snubby from my wife's grandfather. He was a LEO and Chief of Detectives in the People's Republik of Kalifornia in the 1950s thru 70s. This was his EDC and wasn't used very much ergo its excellent condition. It's still a smooth and accurate shooter, and my wife used this revolver when testing for her CCW. It's shown here with her grandfather's daily rig. This particular revolver may be one of the first 2" Model 15-2s produced, as its s/n is in the range of the discontinued and destroyed Model 56s (on which the 15-2 snubbies were based). The frame dates to 1962 but the 2" bbl. wasn't commercially available until 1964 (frame is not stamped "U.S."). Enjoy!

Here’s mine with a Lawrence flap holster made for the 2” CM.

I saw a 2" 15-2 the other day in a gun shop display case. It had a chrome target trigger and chrome target hammer.(no photos) Looked to be the correct magna diamond grips though. They wanted $750 and would not budge on price,even though I argued it needed to be "fixed". It's still there..poor thing.. I have two nice examples so no real need to purchase, other than it broke my heart to see it in that shape.

I’ve always loved the 2” M15’s.

Had a 15-4 2” that I shot better than any other 38-357 I’d ever encountered regardless of barrel length.

As so often happens, we get smarter with age and some of that wisdom comes from the errors of youth: I sold it for some glittering thing I can’t remember.

Interestingly, some of my most accurate revolvers are my 2 to 2.5" K frames.

Here are my two 2” 15s.

My department's rangemaster advised recruits with no handgun experience to purchase one of each barrel length of the M15. I already had my kit when I hired on, but I was impressed by how well the "little guys" shot.

A 2" 15 has been on my watch list for quite a while.
Nice 15 snub and good shooting! Bob

"Back in the day" - Many LEO's who were competitive shooters would have a 6 inch K38 for competition use, a 4 inch M15 for duty, and a 2 inch M15 or M10 for off duty carry.

My 15-5 I found in a small out of the way pawn shop about a half-dozen years ago.

When the shop owner's clerk handed it to me, he remarked, "that's a whole lot of 38 revolver right there" - I couldn't agree more.

I'm impressed by that grouping @ 50'! They are cool old snubby's. This one is a -2 that shipped in 64 (wasn't quite in HS yet ).

Mine dates 1968 and is just a wonderful revolver to shoot. As many have said, the 2" model 15 does not know it is not a target revolver.

^^^^^ Nice M15. I have a 4”.
Back in the day I carried a Model 10 4” nickel in uniform. Off duty was a Model 64 2”. I could qualify easily and as well with the 2” 64 even with 18 rounds of the qualifying course from 25 yards behind a barricade with 6 of those weak hand. All double action. A 2” K frame is a great conceal carry revolver.

Well twist my arm and make me post about one of my all-around favorite firearms!
I love the 2" 15. There is something about the dimensions, the size, the "business-like" aura that surrounds it.
I've mentioned before (but never get tired of telling the story) that I traded into a blued two-incher back in the old days (well, old for me, at least) in the latter part of the 1970s while in the Army, stationed in Denver. As I recall, it was a beauty, no cosmetic issues at all and appeared to not have a lot of rounds through it.
Well, I fell in love, but this was a time in my life where my best friend was also an FFL, would buy-sell-trade pretty much anything and everything (We traded a 63 Chevy convertible back and forth for guns for several weeks before we finally found a GI from Mississippi to buy it) I was also heavily into refinishing. Stainless steel as revolver material was still not a common find, so a trip to Armoloy or one of the others gave you a reasonable facsimile. So it was with that Blue Two, after a short detour to a cop friend on the department who turned the standard square-butt into an elegant round one.
When Blue Two came back, it was nothing short of phenomenal. It looked every bit the image of the non-existent stainless snub 15. The gun was so well done by my "folks" - the grooves on the front and back of the grip frame were perfect, even under a magnifier. To say it turned heads everywhere I took it would be an understatement. It was, IMO, simply spectacular.
The end of the story is I traded it off. Didn't think twice, it's just what we did. I don't even remember what I traded for, but I sure remember that two-inch beauty.

But hey, all is not lost. Over the last 10 or 15 years I've acquired 3 more, two Nickel and a (sadly) Cerakoted one. They aren't going anywhere, at least while I'm still above ground.
(One little Cerakote story: I HATE painted guns that "look" painted. Aftermarket finishes look it to me, and I usually won't even touch them. But the serial number on this one contains my old badge number, and based on that alone, I bought it.)
Thank you for reading if you made it this far, and You guys that are posting photos get a big THANK YOU!
