There's several threads on Mod 13's & 65's with the 3 inch bbl up and running and I have a question.
Is it just the later production of round butt K frames (as in -3's) that have a bevel on the front of the butt or is it unique to short barrel revolvers?


( lousy pic )

From Left: Two 3 inch revolvers and a 2 &1/2.
A Mod 65-3 with round butt magnas not original to the gun. Note the stock overhangs the bevel in the grip.
A Mod 13-3 with original stocks contour to the grip frame.
A Mod 66-1 with original wood that has very little bevel and a rounder profile.

At what point did that beveled front grip come along?

my 4" m64 doesnt have that.

Short barrel guns got the treatment as they were ment for detectives. Even original factory grips are a little different.

I have a half dozen round butt K & L frames in 3" & 4" and they all have it, including a P&R M65.
