K Frame Model

[jimmyj]

In the era of 1968-1970 (?) I purchases a special Model 14-2 (?) with a four inch heavy barrel with adjustable sights and oversize grips. IIRC (?) it was referred to as a "Dayton" special. Never got to fire it and now it is my "Grail" Gun. Are these still around ?

I snuck this one out the back door while y'all were napping. Based on what I paid, my guess is that everyone else just glanced at it and thought it was a 15-2 and that the description had a typo. The barrel profile should have been a hint, but hey - I'm not going to complain.

According to Mike Priwer's article, this little jewel was part of the last batch of 197 guns. It will take a few weeks to get here. There will be many more photos and a range report as soon as possible. Here are some pics from the auction for now.....and yes, I did notice that the rear and middle...
