That looks like it is in perfect condition. I think the Model 15 is the classiest revolver S&W revolver ever made. Two thumbs up!

It pretty much is.

Wow! Sure is purdy.

What a beauty ! The closest I have come so far is this nice model 10-6 I bought a couple of years ago via the Forum. I already had the Eagle grips waiting for it.

Looks to pretty to get dirting by shooting it or carrying it.

Sweet, the Snub Nose is IMHO the best lookin revolver ever built.

There is nothing as beautiful as that classic vintage bluing on the older Smiths. Very nice acquisition Thiokol.

Thank you. Here's a better picture. This is the picture that the seller sent to me.

Tell me that's not just a gorgeous example of a firearm!

When I see these, I think back to the 1960s tv show The FBI. Dragnet too, Jack Webb carried a snubbie of some mfg. Much like the beloved Model T, you can have any model (only 2" & 4") and any color/finish (blued was it) you want as long as it's one of the base models.

Colt was the same way, with minimal differences.

I would be shooting wadcutters out of these at every opportunity if I had a chance. They're surprisingly accurate if you find an ammo it really likes.

I LIKE IT. I hve same 15-3 with TH & TT. I bought it 12 yrs ago from a former local detectives estate. It was his carry gun.

I can't own a gun too pretty to shoot which that one certainly is!

The snub-nosed revolvers look so darn business like.

 

[Bill In Texas]

Congratulations! Looks like mine!

 

[Rudi]

Sweet! Looks brand spankin' new!!

That is nice. I carried a 4" 15 while I was in the Navy.

This is my latest. An acquaintance/friend needed to raise some cash, he offered me this for $500.
Model 14 (ND) 1958 that looks like it has never been fired. Even the box looks like it just came off the shelf.

A K frame smith snubbie just looks like it means business. No frills, no fancy, just tough. It's the Tom Homan of revolvers
