More three inch madness????

[KalamazooKid]

My 13-3. They DEFINITELY scratch an itch!

 

[Not Getting Any Younger]

Got my first 3" today: a used 63-5
It has a green FO front sight (S&W has red on the new ones),
but I haven't researched it's date of manufacture yet (serial nbr: DJZxxxx).

 

[BC38]

I like em too...

 

[SAFireman]

How about a big bore 3"

Here is a couple of 45 ACP's....one 625-3 and a Jovino 25-2

 

[BAM-BAM]

Madness???? No; just good common sense!!!!!

60-10 .357 ... think micro 686

Two 3" 65s

Two 3" 66-3s

and a 66-4 3 inch.

Here's my model 60-4...

Took me 3, a 36, 65, 66 to figure out they are not for me. Too big to CC, Too wshort for target, hunting. Yippee more for you guys. If I wasnt already set, a 686 7 shot 3" would be good for home protection

I love ALL three inch wheel guns. My favorite is still a model 65 I had the pleasure of building myself in an S&W armorer's class back in the 80's. It was pretty special because John Contro (God rest his soul) was teaching the class and it wasn't too long before he retired. He passed not too long after his retirement. Ain't that the way it is.

Always wanted a 3-inch 13, but still don't have one.

Do you all think the extra weight of an extractor shroud is worth it on like a 66 or 19?

My first carry handgun was a 3" RB Mod 13 .357 Mag. Also found and purchased 3" Mod 36. In 1990 my every day carry became a S&W 3914, which I still use. But, I still have both the above revolvers plus a 3" Mod 642 Centennial and a Ruger SP101 3" so yes, I like 3" revolvers.

Though my very favorite 3" revolver is the Model 66-4, even the competition has come up with a very nice 3" revolver.

 

[Hardcast]

Just the one 629 but it's my every day companion

Nothing wrong with a 3" 60 pro with a relentless defender holster.

My only three inchers. You make me realize that I need much more. 547 and bearcat

Picked up this 36-8 yesterday.

I've seen fewer than a handful of the -8s and finally managed to rope one.

Like the 2" 36-7, it's got the wider, ⅛" front sight, and it's the last Chiefs with forged parts (the 36-9 was the first MIM Chiefs).

It's also the last 3" Model 36 before the IL (some 36-10s with the IL have 3" barrels).

Roy said it shipped in August 1994 -- the month before I sewed on Chief at Kunsan AB, Korea.

Here's my 1997 60-10, too.

My only 3" at the moment is my RB .41mag 28-2 w/Ti cylinder from an M357 and a cut down M47 barrel.

 

[SAFireman]

Here is a model 65-3 that I rescued and rehab-ed. The glass bead job gave it a nice 'soft' look, don't you think? It had fairly extensive condition issues that were largely resolved.

 

[S-W4EVER]

I usually prefer long barrel K & N Frames but I have a 3" Model 24 Lew Horton and a (ex- Australian Police ) Model 10-5 which is one handy little revolver. Balances well and it just seems to have been put together right.

This .44Mag has no model # in the hinge or elsewhere.Obviously a 629.I'd like to know the story on the absense of any model #... Thanks
