3-inch Barrel $$ Madness!

[OIF2]

I have a weakness for 3" S&W revolvers, too. Below is my old 10-8, which was my off-duty gun for quite some time when I was on the LAPD. It's still DAO and will stay that way. I recently put a set of "Collinscraft" RB stocks in nice walnut on it, replacing the battered factory PC stocks. Great carry gun.

Hmmmmm....

I wonder what this little lady would bring these days?





I bought it a while back. Shot it some and tossed it in the vault... Since then I haven't been keeping up with the prices...

My 3" Smiths

I only have two at the moment. The PC681 was a Birdsong that I removed the finish from using aluminum oxide at 25 psi. The 65-5 was an L/E gun that was pretty finish-challenged. I bead-blasted it.

That is one sweet 29-4 Lobo! Love that config. I have the same grips on my 3" 629 TALO, they are a pleasure to shoot with. Maybe not the prettiest girl at the dance, but she will make you feel good. I hope my wife doesn't read this post.....

I just acquired my 3rd 3" S&W, a 686+, to go along with my 65-3, and 620PC. I guess I need to get some pictures up, huh?

While we are on subject of 3' guns I recently bought a NIB Talo 29 for $800 and thought I got a real deal, but from what I can find out either gun prices have dropped or something is wrong. Every time I see one for sale if used it's $650 to $700 range for a like new gun and new unfired $750 to $800 range. Has market gone soft on 629's? All guns? Or what? Tell me it's not about locks....please.

OK - I won't tell you it's about the locks. lol.

[MrTrolleyguy]

I have 9 three inch revolvers. (wont count 3.3 Xds)

I posted on this thread back in 2010, lamenting the fact that I had sold/traded my three inch Model 13, and wanting another. Got lucky last year and got this 13-3 that I added the T grip adapter to, and got even luckier last Sunday with this 13-2 that's unfired and new, complete with perfect original box, papers, and unopened cleaning kit. Transitional gun dating to 1981 that has recessed chambers but NO barrel pin. I found it on Armslist for $500.00, and traded a 15-2 that just didn't fit my collection for it, plus boot. Got about $600.00 in it, but that amount wouldn't purchase EITHER of these guns right now. Thinking I may continue to carry the -3, and keep the -2 for fondling purposes.

 

[70olds98]

In my humble collection is a 3" RB model 10 that was a trade in from the Illinois dept of Investigation. Came with a new S&W holster for $165 in about 1988. The guy must of had 30 of them at the time. Smooth combat trigger and sweet action. Didn't realize how rare they were until I started looking for another one last year, wow! Does anybody ever sell one of these?

 

[CH4]

Did someone say 3" N frames? How about one for every caliber in the N frames?

jcelect

Wow! would also love to have one of each, but would settle for the 625-7 3" to go with my 629 3"

 

[DFrame]

My favorite barrel length. I have a small number of 3 inch N frames but they're outnumbered by the 3 inch Detective Specials and Cobras in my safe

 

[JohnSW]

Does that also mean that my (3" heavy barrel) 36-1 J-frame is destined to be an overpriced classic?
