Hey everyone,

I've had a hankering for an S&W Model 65 lately. So I was just wondering if you would be willing to post any pictures you have of yours to hold me over! Thanks in advance!

bought mine 18 months ago and bobbed the hammer... it was a police trade in, since then I have put a new hammer in it and I am now carrying it on duty.... great guns...

Hello.

My 3" Model 65...

Best.

Here are the 2 M65's that I bought from CDNN.
one came as a RB and the front one came as a SB to start with until I converted it to a RB grip frame.
both are great shooters and a lot easier to carry then you would think.
I carry one or the other every day.

Here are mine that I found unfired (except for factory test fire) and in NIB condition in a local gun shop. The 65 and the 13 are both dash 2s:

Paid only $363 for the 13-2; and $373 for the 65-2!

They came complete with boxes, all papers, and tools that were original.

Here are two examples of the great "deals" CDNN has to offer on those M65's. I've already refinished the third one I bought(all ordered at the same time) and didn't get any pictures of it prior to doing so.

Model 65-3 4"

Note the poorly replaced trigger pin, and the grind mark directly below it. Also note the staining on the gripframe.

Note the chipped recoil shield

Dinged gripframe corner

Another corner dinged

scratched up sideplate

better pic of the sideplate

None of those show the sloppy lockup or well peened cylinder notches.

And here are some more of a M65-2 from CDNN

Scratches on left side

beat up trigger guard

scratched sideplate and buggered up screws

better shot

Close up

another close up

Plier marks on the ejector rod

Personally, I'm not impressed. Some of you may have gotten better guns, and I won't argue with you if you did. I know what I got, and I know they were in poor shape. It's going to be VERY hard for me to order anything used from them again.

This one used to be in my collection. Model marked as a M65, but unfortunately lettered as a M64... bummer

Here's a few others that still remain:

M65-3

M65-5

M65-5 LadySmith

Man I have seen some beat up guns, but thats terrible that they sent you guns that bad.
the ones I got came just the way they look in my picture, but if they had come as bad looking as yours,i would have sent them back.
thats a bummer they treated you like that.

Here is my M65-5LS. I have CT Laser Grips on it now. Going to put a set of Wolff springs it her soon.

Here are a couple of before and after shots of my Model 65 (Sorry for the bad photos):

I have since changed the hammer to a factory DAO. This thing shoots great!

I don't blame you for being upset about that CDNN deal. I bought two model 65s and was very pleased with them. One was the (better condition) for 20 bucks more and the other was in the (lesser condition) but I could not tell any difference. They were both great condition and both shoot better than I can.By the way Great photos

Im getting ready to have one of my M65 4" cut down to 3" and have a new sight installed.
was the sight on your gun made for that type of conversion or is it off another model of gun and if so which one??
