My Extraordinary Model 13

[defl]

First post here. I have been searching for a P&R model 13 for several months off and on. I have seen several decent ones, some really good ones which got away, and then this one which I did not allow to get away -- the best one that I found: a mint, unfired, and exceptional model 13-2.

This 13 is too nice to shoot; it came with original box and paperwork, with everything in pristine condition. But I really wanted a 3 inch bull barrel to shoot, so I bought a nice 65-5. It also is pristine and unfired, has original box, however I plan to shoot the heck out of the 65. Here are a few photos of both:

Now that was a great score. Congratulations. I don't think I would shoot it (the Md 13) either. And the 65...wow, you've made quite the debut here. And I'm partial to fixed sights too.

Nice entrance and great guns.

That is a beautiful set of revolvers ! Congrats and welcome to the forum.

SWEEEeeeeeet..... I've got two 3" 65s.....three 3" 66s... all great guns....

...............but....................


I would really like a 3", P&R'ed Model 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful! I would rather own the Model 65 but that M13 is a looker!

Very nice combo. A 13 3" is on the short list. Sell it to me, I'll shoot it.

By the way, welcome to the forum.

Man that 13 is beautiful!

 

[crsides]

One of my personal favorites.

What gets me about Smith revolvers, and Colts as well, is how beautiful they are and were.

But in their day, they were issued to police or bought for private use as everyday tools.

Truly, some of the "good old days" were good though our memories tend to fudge on all the not so good about those days.

I'm still keeping my eyes open for a M-13 3 inch gun. Congrats on your find! She's a beauty!

delf, welcome to the forum. You are on your way to a nice collection.

Boy oh boy, a 3" M13 is just about the best carry revolver made. The M65 ain't bad either lol.

 

[Elvis Ray Bob]

That's A Winner!

Best Carry Revolver ever made. A few years ago these were really common and inexpensive. Not any more! I carry a M65, 3in, RB, with 158s. Shoots great. With a little practice, these are really accurate with full loads too. I'm Jealous! Great Find!

Very nice. Thanks.

That's one hell of a start! Brace yourself, you are in for a good ride. Congratulations and welcome to the forum.
