15-3 2" Snub

[elkhunt]

I picked this one up a while back, and am just now getting around to posting a picture. It's a real clean, rarely shot, never carried example of a fine handgun. The tightest lock up of any of my Smiths. Not sure on it's birthday, 8K753xx if anyone wants to send a card.

Very nice! Has PC (rounded bottom) Magnas, usually Target sight guns had the square bottom type. Happy 40th birthday!

I have bought a couple in the last year or so. Great shooters and probably the best shooting snub out there. They have a unique look to them. Here is one of mine in a custom rig I had made specifically for it by American Classic Gunleather, and wearing Grashorn stags.

Made in 1976. The 8K numbers were spread over three years - 1975-1977. Yours falls in the middle group.

Yes. I rather doubt those stocks came with that gun.

Have you checked for a serial number impressed into the wood on the inside of the right hand panel?

That's a little beauty, thanks for sharing.

Yup the SN on the stocks match the revolver.

Very interesting. And COOL! I'll have to check my CM snub. As I recall, it has the standard stocks and they number to the gun. If I find out differently after I rummage through the safe, I'll let you know.

Very nice! Over the last couple months these snub 15's have been coming out of the woodwork. Nice to see...

 

[murphydog]

I've seen at least one other here, recently, with numbered PC Magna stocks. "Never say never..."

Nice m15 they just feel good in my hand. I have a 15-4 from 1979 and someone decided they wanted a rb but did put tt and th on it. I do like my smith revolvers original but this one shoots great and feels great in my hand. Bought it right too.

elkhunt that's a sweet little snub you have there. I am quite envious.

 

[bananaman]

That thing just looks FANTASTIC!!! Wish I could find a 15 snub. Enjoy it! Bob

Beautiful revolver elkhunt! This 15-3 came with PC Magnas as well...

If your looking for a 2" M15 be prepared to be both patient and lucky. I follow them regularly on the big 3 auction sites, GB, GI and GA. Yesterday there was a grand total of 3 listed on GB, owners just don't often part with these jewels. This is a snubbie you can't have to many of IMO.

That someone spent a bunch of money modifying that gun. I like it.

Very nice!

That's a real beauty! I think I'd rather have that than a Model 19 snub.

 

[Geronimo Jim]

Saw the exact same gun recently for $699.
Best guess of value? Thanks
