J&G Sales Also has model 15's...

[amd6547]

While still considering which Model 64 to buy, I noticed that they also have model 15's, in two different grades...
Smith & Wesson Model 15, 38Spl 4in, DAO. Good to very good condition
I already have a Model 15, but I know some here are looking for one.

If the ones in their pic's are good to very good condition, I would hate to see what their bad condition ones look like.

I don't doubt that they are NRA Good +, which is reflected in the very reasonable price. J&G states that they were Police revolvers, so they probably saw a lot of holster time.

I'm sure no one would expect a pampered safe queen for $219.95

 

[amd6547]

They also have a better looking grade for $349...depends on whether you want a shooter or a safe queen, I guess.

 

[texagun]

Those guns are junkers. You can bet they put the best looking ones in the ad. You can only guess what the rest of them look like. I wouldn't buy one of them at any price.

I think you get what you pay for on these LE turn ins. Don

 

[amd6547]

Wow...sorry I mentioned it. You wouldn't buy "at any price"...? Pretty broad statement, don't you think? Sounds like the difference between a shooter and a collector.
I, for one, have had very good luck with LE trade ins. As long as a handgun is functional, I really don't care about appearance. I like a carry gun I don't have to baby because I am worried about messing up it's safe queen finish.

I bet they're good serviceable guns and if one was in the classifieds here for $219 it wouldn't last long.

 

[Jack Flash]

I sincerely doubt that they are "junkers". I bought a S&W M10-7 from J&G and it is mechanically excellent. For the price I paid, it was a good deal.

If you want better condition, $350 + shipping is a decent price for their "very good +" M15s. J&G are good people to deal with.

J&G does not put the nicest ones on for the pics. Read the reviews... Most people get guns that are much nicer than they expected. I got a LNIB 4566 from the on a LEO trade in for 349. It does help that I am in AZ and drive to the store and handpick mine for no extra fee

That is good to know. The ones pictured are pretty rough. For a gun thrown in a tackle box or under a truck seat, they would probably be fine. I occasionally see guns in like condition at the gun shows and they usually sell for under $200. For $300-350 you can find some pretty nice S&W's that don't require refinishing and are mechanically excellent. I would prefer to spend a few dollars more and get a gun that would retain some value.

Aren't all of these M15's DAO? Not a bobbed hammer, but no single-action.

 

[JSR III]

amd, thanks for the heads up. I am going to buy 5 of them and give them to my shooting buddies next year for Christmas. For $200, I don't care if they are rats as long as they function.

PS: I just looked at the $300 ones and a couple of them look brand new. THANKS again.

 

[JSR III]

Trooperdan, YES that is correct.

As I have said in another thread I purchased 2 model 64's listed as very good plus. Both appear to have been shot very little and were is better condition than described. May be I was lucky buying any thing at those prices is a gamble. The stocks on both were real beat up and did need to be replaced. Typical of LEO turn ins.

 

[phils]

I have bought a few le turn ins. Three good ones:
A 4" M19 blue, like new except for really bad grips - how that happened I'll never know. The le dealer allowed me to exchange them for a nice pair off another one that was only in fair condition.
Another was a nice M37, but an undercover buddy talked me out if it.
The third was a 6" M17, never fired. It was bought by a PD for cheaper training purposes.

Those guns are junkers. You can bet they put the best looking ones in the ad. You can only guess what the rest of them look like. I wouldn't buy one of them at any price.

 

[Camster]

For another $20,buy a 67.

 

[buckeyeshooter1]

how difficult and expensive to have it returned to SA/DA use?

 

[cjcutter1]

I ordered a "vg" square butt 64 last tuesday morning picked up at my ffl thursday afternoon have since cleaned, shot, and cleaned again. J&g sales made my chirstmas a good one. I got lucky for sure mine was very tight only a few dings I was pleasantly surprised.

Take it easy.

I have purchased 8 used revolvers from J&G in the past 6 years without a problem. All the guns were in better condition than graded. A M10 bought last year was in new unfired condition. The reason that J&G can sell these guns so cheap is that they part everything out. LEO returns usually come with boxes and all accessories. J&G has been selling the original wood grips, boxes, holster and other accessories on ebay. I have seen them make $200 - $300 on accessories.
