My 65-2 that I carried just before being forced to convert to a 5906

Found this several years ago, before the prices went completely crazy. I still paid far, far too much for it ($425), but I had to have it. I think I did okay, it's probably worth a bit more now.

The factory stocks came with it, I added the T-Grip.

My 65-3 3" round butt

I found this model 65-5 round butt several years ago. Some one tweeked the action, bead blasted the finish, polished the area of the cylinder and milled serrations on the back strap. Very smooth double actions. Shipped August 2007

Here is my 65-2. I installed color cased hammer and trigger with a mild action job. The trigger pull is beautiful. Also shown with her cousin, a 13-3.

65-3, 3 inch that's been in the family for years...

I found this 65-5 this past week at a pawn shop. I’m thinking seriously about buying a stainless hammer and trigger for it. Some nice open back combat stocks too.

I’ll throw a pic of my 65-5 with its brother a 13-4.

I’ve got a couple model 65s. First is my model 65-1. Came with the original serialized grips which made me pretty happy. Has UCPD stamped on it. Since it came out of California I assume that’s University of California PD, unless someone has another idea. Second is my 65-5 ladysmith that I use as my EDC until I get my 13-3 this week.

In 1981, I wanted something S&W didn't make at the time. I wanted a fixed sight, stainless steel K frame revolver with a round butt and approximately 3 inch barrel.

I picked up a model 65-1 4 inch, and got together with a gunsmith in Hayward, CA. He cut back the barrel to 3 1/4 inch to retain the full script on the barrel. He match recrowned the barrel, and installed a red insert in the front sight. He then rounded the butt, installed a model 66 hammer and trigger, and did and incredible action job on it.

I carried it for two years before the agency allowed us to carry semi-auto pistols. I have kept this custom pistol ever since, and it is still one of my favorite revolvers to shoot.

Same 65-3 as already shown. Just a new photo and change of grips that I did a couple of days ago.

Here's my 65-3 which I think I've posted before. The 65-3 has gotten to a cult status since I got this back in 1987. It was a retirement gift from my agency, and new at the time. Wish I'd kept the box.
