3" K's

[remat457]

Well,
I know that the 3" K-frames have recently become popular again.

I took my 65 out for the first time in a long time and I have to say -- It was amazing!! I had forgotten how well they fit, balance and shoot! What a straight shooter. Definitely one of my favorites.

Anyway, if you have the chance to get one, definitely do. Here is a pic of my 65, although it now has a set of Hogue Bantams on it...Thought I would share

I have always loved a 3" RB, HB K frame. Have owned several 65s, 64s and a 13 in the past. Will be looking for another in the future when ever I get home. Smith still had the 3" 64 listed in Dec.

I like the 3" Ks as well. Currently have 65 and a 547. I even mimiced the 3" 65 with a 4" by rounding the butt. I like it better with the round butt, but not as much as the 3"

I had to come back and a couple of photos.

547

65
Apologies for the quality of the photos.

 

[remat457]

Cheers,

i have a blue one 357 mag ; mode 13?. payed $190 10 yrs ago: a police trade and it had a pro trigger job . best carry gun ever. in shoulder holster it is unnoticeable under a dress shirt. the only thing that comes close is a ruger sp101.

Gosh, I didn't know they'd recently become popular again! IMHO, they've always been special.

This one was my very first S&W revolver, and I'll never get rid of it. Truly a great handling, shooting and looking revolver . . . and the start of my love for all handguns with barrels starting with the number "3."

Nice collection of 3"-ers!
I just wish 357 ammo wasn't so spendy right now

I love them sweet 3" K-frame guns too....
My 65-5

Nice guns everyone,....Keep em coming.....

My 3" model 13 RB is one of my most favorite firearms.

The 3" K guns are the cat's meow. This group is with wadcutters right hand barricade at 50 yards.

I started with a three inch 66-3 and then it got out of hand. I frequently rely on my 65 three inch for daily carry. I like the way it feels and I can shoot it pretty well.

P.S. this picture might get the prize for most posted pic in the forum. I'm too lazy to take new photos.

My 3" Model 13-3; My favorite revolver.

Here are mine. I cannot pass up the opportunity to show them off.

[feralmerril]

Aw shucks, ya gonna make me post my lew horton 66-3 again?

 

[OIF2]

I like 'em too. I had a 13 3" and a 64 3" that I sold, but this 10-8 3" will stay. It's been converted to DAO by the LAPD Armory and was my off-duty gun.

Nice peices! My 65-5 3" is my favorite too. (yeah I know..where are the pictures) I must get a camera and get with the program!

 

[Bullseye Smith]

Nothing out there is as nice as a 3 inch Smith, well maybe a 4 -5 -or 6 inch Smith & Wesson .

 

[OIF2]

I find it interesting how the oddball barrel lengths that no one wanted awhile back are now so popular-like the 3" and 5" 10s and the 2" M15. I remember a 2" M15 that sat on the shelf of the LA Revolver Club for over a year before someone took pity on it. Same with a 5" 27 and a 52. No takers (I bought the 52 and the 27 CHEAP).

I also have a Model 10-8, Model 13-3, Model 24-3, Model 36, Model 36-1, Model 65-5 and a Model 696. Not that I like 3" S&W's.

beemerphile, that's a very interesting gun.........has a shrouded ejector rod, more like a model 19 without sights !! What more can you tell us about it??

I rented a model 65 3 inch back in the winter. Easily the best handling gun I have fired. Point and click, literally.

Seeing all of these just makes me want one.

Here's my 65-3. I love the RB factory target grips the best for shooting .38 speicals and the pach's for 357 mags. Now I need a 3" M36.
