If You Could Have any 3 Inch Revolver…What Would You Choose?

Bet you can't stop at just one. They are addictive.

3 " m 10 fixed up by Dustin Housel, Joplin
3" m 65 LS
3" m13 PC
3" m 64
3" m 10 spl order for Brazil has an enclosed ejector rod housing
3" m 64 customized by Wilson Combat (by Vic Tibbets )

They are all fun guns.
 
Colt Python. There are only 2 3 inch S&W revolvers that trip my trigger, and I own both. A Model 66-4 and a Model 696.

I will soon have a 3 inch Python.
 
I have 3 model 36s. All are 2”.
I always like the looks of the 3”, but never got around to getting one.
So my choice would be a 3” model 36 no dash square butt with a factory action job walnut magnas with a Tyler T grip. Either blue or nickel is ok. Also some old school leather to carry it around.
 
It would be these three a 547, a 19-3 and a 65-5.

I’d have to vote the 3” King Cobra for concealed carry. My second choice is my 3” Python but it’s a little big and heavy for concealed carry.

I know this thread is about 3" guns, but I have to admit I've also wanted 2.5" revolver. I think Smith still offers the 686 with the 2.5", but the new 66 has 2.75" barrel. I wish they would bring back the 2.5".

The new Colt King Cobra - which seems to be old Magnum Carry model - looks great with a 3". It might be the best 3" sixgun around right now, although the 3" Python is getting all the attention. I'd like to see Colt bring out a new Python in 2.5", like the old ones were.
 
I own my "favorites"....life is getting too short not to...

S&W:
65-3
66-2
60-10
547
657

Looking for a Ruger GP-100 WC 10mm....very hard to find right now and expensive if one does... Would also like to try out a new SS Python.

Own at least a dozen three inch guns. Three K frames, a J, three Charters, a Manurhin, King Cobra, Python, Cobra, SP101, GP100, Speed Six, couple Taurus. Probably forgetting one or two. The Colts are sweet, I carry the KC on occasion. The GP100 is a Wiley Clapp; the best revolver Ruger ever made, one of the best ever made by anyone.
 
I have three that I carry. S&W 65, S&W 60 with adjustable sights and a Colt Detective Special. Love them all.
