K Frame Snubbies....

LGS has your identical Smith on the left.
15-3 nickel. Crisp.
Can't get him off $650.00....
 
Nothing wrong with that. Now you just need a sack to put them in.

I'll will gladly take that Nickel Mod 15 "problem" off your hands.
 
As for that, when you know how to shoot, you don't need a magnum!!! ;)

You're missing the boat. It's not about the cartridge, since you can shoot .38's in the .357 Magnum (and I shoot .38 Special +P loads in mine). It's about the 2.5" barrel, round butt, and adjustable sights on the Model 19/66. It's the ultimate snub.

I agree completely. It's the right size and the right weight for a concealed carry revolver in .357 Magnum - large enough and heavy enough to be controllable and comfortable to shoot, yet small enough to easily conceal and light enough to comfortably carry all day long.

However, it's also a superb revolver in .38 Special. The adjustable sights let you regulate it for 125 gr .357 Magnum self defense loads, or 125 gr .38+ self defense loads, or lightly loaded 158 gr .38 special semi-wad cutter target loads, or pretty much anything else you want to shoot accurately.

If you know your business, have a good grip, good trigger control and can maintain precise sight alignment you'll find it doesn't shoot any less accurately than a 4" revolver - the 1.5" difference in sight radius just doesn't make a significant difference, when your sight alignment is precise.

Plus, the proportions are near perfect and they are very attractive revolvers:

If there is any negative at all, it's the slightly too short ejector rod - but that's a non issue when using a Universal or Stress Fire reload technique.

While I have some 2 and 2 1/2 inch K-frames I tend to favor carrying a 3 inch 65 or 66..for the ejector rod, the slightly better sight radius and barrel weight...... with very little impact on concealed carry.

Nice Grips....... BB

I would tend to agree!
