FBI 13-3

[Snapping Twig]

Not an actual issued revolver, but a 13-3 just the same.

It came with imitation old style magnas, but they're nice enough and I ordered a BK grip adapter for it and that makes the magnas work.

I like the old style look.

Now, all I need to do is get a pack of 14# Wolff trigger return springs so I can swap out the current one for something that will transform the trigger into that S&W butter feel.

Just went down to the workbench and found my spring kits.

Just happened to be a fresh pack of Wolff 15# springs.

Lightened the trigger up quite a bit.

Congrats I like the 13 3" guns. I also like the way you have it set up.

Interestingly, I have a 65-5 Ladysmith with Hogue grips. It has a Mag-Na-Port trigger job, done before I bought it. Best trigger on any S&W I own and I have a couple with pro trigger jobs.

Carrying the 65-5 is nice, it folds right in and doesn't print - but -

This 13 carry's even tighter.

Your 13, looks super COOL! I bought a 13-2, last Sept. at the gun show. A 4", low round count beauty. I am more than happy with it's function. Enjoy your 3" classic! Bob

That looks like a keeper!

Congratulations on finding one. I've been trying to talk a friend out of his 3" 13....

Very nice Snapping Twig, I love the 13 3" also. I think it was the last revolver issued by the FBI. The M13 can be seen in the Silence of the Lambs carried by Jody Foster, (Agent Clarice Starling).Silence of the Lambs, The - Internet Movie Firearms Database - Guns in Movies, TV and Video Games
There was two seperate adds on GB recently for an authentic Bucheimer Concealer holster and ammo pouch with 6 rounds of 38 +P HP used by FBI. I was too late on the holster but got the pouch with ammo. I talked with the seller that is retired from the FBI and said he would send documentation for the pouch, which was a photo (1985) of him at the Academy range shooting his 13 with holster and pouch on his side. Now to find the Concealer in LH.
