Anyone else like the 65 3" .357 Mag? w/pic

Great pics in this thread!

I agree with diamonback68, ..." it's the finest conceal carry gun Smith has ever conceived."

Everything you need and nothing you don't.

I wish I had bought 2 when I bought mine. I like it better than the newer fangled 357 next to it..

Does my 3" M13 count??

Also have a factory Nickel 3" M13, can't find a pic of it. Both great guns!

Sure, close enough. But you really need a 65 too, don't you, sure you do.

Yes, I do!

One of our distributors had a bunch of 3" 65's a while back. I asked the store manager to order me one, but he spaced it... Life goes on.

I just bought of the police trade in 3" 65s that have been on the auction sites lately. I'll post pics when it gets here. The one I picked already has Safariland fingergroove grips. When I first started in policework, I carried a Model 19 4" with these grips made by Rogers before Safariland bought them out. In the seller's pics,it looks great as it is. But, after seeing this thread, some other stocks may be in my future!! Now I need a good IWB holster.....

Got one stored away - carried one on duty back in the day.

Thanks for all the great pictures folks. Glad to see this little gun is getting it's proper respect.
I followed Linde's advice and put a set of Hogue Bantams on it and love the third finger extension. I just ordered a Don Hume J.I.T. slide for carry, I like the minimalism of this little holster. I let you all know later how it all works out.

I like that front sight insert on RhinoWSO's 65!

I'm thinking of having the same done to a Model 10.
