Per the paperwork that comes with the K-frame Model 547, "round butt target stocks."
Per a letter from Roy on a Model 36-1, "... round butt banana stocks."
More three inch madness????

They are stamped "EAGLE INDIA" on the inside. The finger grooves are slightly off for me but usable for now.
I have a set of Magnas for it but need to order a Tyler T grip.
May order two to split the shipping costs up. Waiting two months for them will be exasperating.

Couldn't find a 3" that I could afford so I made this one out of a 4" model 64 that I could afford.

Eagle grips are still around. They used to be one of the top suppliers of Sambar Stag grips when it could still be imported.

I really like the 3" K and L frames. They really carry, handle and shoot well! Currently I have four, I found them really when I wasn't specifically looking for them.
My first 3" S&W was my CS1, that I bought in the mid 1990's when I wanted 686, nobody really knew about them then, I thought that the 3" was kind of cool.
The second is my M64-3 Ex police trade in. My gun dealer had this M64 and a 3" M65 plus a half dozen 4" M64's and M65's. This was in the very early 2000's. At the time I was into early 1920's - 1930's 1905 hand ejectors and figured that I needed something a little more modern to shoot. After I got it home and read up on the 3" S&W's, I went back the next day to get the 3"M65 and it was gone.
The next one that I got is my 3" nickel M13-3. A couple of years ago I was looking at a GB seller that I had bought off of before to see if they had any thing of interest and this showed up. I put a bid on it and didn't think that it would walk and I won.
My newest 3" is my M66-3 and it is a favorite! Last Fall I was again looking at a GB seller for something else and it showed up, put a bid on it and won.

Bit of an unusual 3-incher.
Nice GP. I have a 4" half lug fixed sight .38 GP that came from a security company.
The compact Lett grips are ideal.

I've been salivating over that one for a while now. Stellar piece. That price is pretty silly though.

That gun has been for sale for at least a year at that price. You would think that the seller would rent a clue at some point....
My only entries into the 3 inch madness. My 3" CS-1 2M, and my Model 65 that I had a gunsmith in Hayward, CA. convert for me in 1981. S&W didn't make a 3 inch 65 then, so I had to improvise. Shortened the barrel to almost 3 inches, match crown, red insert in front sight, Model 66 target hammer and trigger, and a super slick duty action job. I carried it for several years as a U.S. Customs Special Agent.

Polished it, had 2 of them at the time. Getting the Lady Smith off the side plate took a couple hours.
