I currently own:
19, 2 1/2"
10hb, 4"

I saw a 13-3, 3" in very nice condition yesterday
that was not on my "dance card".

Any m13 fans out there?

I kinda happened into one at a good price and bought it to flip. Liked it too much to sell and added a set of Professional Compac Pachmayr's with the open back - these fit my hand better than any grip I have ever tried. I dehorned the hammer and its slick as cat poop in and out of the pocket. She's found a home.

Buy it - you can sell the 19 and 10 HB.

Bought one with a 3" bbl, RB, and non-factory Pachmyers on it a couple weeks ago for $350. This gun is identical to those issued to the FBI from about '74-'87 when they went to the 10mm.
It is a perfect carry gun and it shoots great. I used it in an IDPA match last weekend.
Not selling the 2.5" M-19 though. Its just cool.
 
el jefe you made a very smart move. I have a M13-3 with the same Compac grips mentioned above. It handles like a dream.
 
Here is a NIB 13-3 that hides in the safe :D .

Model 13 is one of my favorites. With 125 grn .357 loads I could consistently ding soda bottles at 75 yards. Mine was a 3" Rb and was a great carry gun. Should never have sold it.
 
13-3 3 inch round. I'm a fan.

I am pretty sure that I will be a fan of these once mine arrives next week that I just purchased!!!!
 
The model 13 is the gun that was not even on my want list, and is now the one I shoot and carry the most. I liked it so much I got another and now I have a 3 incher on the list. Not only did it make the list, it jumped right into the top 5. ;)

After my 2nd trip to the range with my 13-3, I believe that

this model may be a S&W sleeper.

I believe that it was Jeff Cooper who said that 3 things make

up an effective handgun:

speed, accuracy and power. This model has all 3.
 
Hi,
Good decision to by the 13-3. I have a 13-2 4 inch and love the revolver. Still looking for a 3 inch barrel. I still feel its hard to find a M13 versus a M19.
