My new to me 15-7:)

I picked this up recently, it's a security trade in 15-7.

For $300 I'm happy with it, timing is good, not much endshake. I wasn't looking for a museum piece and wanted something I can actually shoot and carry.

I replaced the ratty half falling apart Uncle Mikes grips with a used set of period correct woods, the K frame RB with Magnas is my favorite configuration it also lets that nice ribbing on the blackstrap show. I actually chose this over a 15-4 in the same price range because I wanted the round butt. I also could have had a 15-8 but I have enough MIM guns for now.

It's pretty beat up looking but solid, will make a nice range shooter and winter carry gun. I like the heavy barrel, it's kinda like someone stuck target sights on a 10-10

It's marked "SA5843" on the sideplate if anyone knows what that means.

Stan: Not bad for $300. My guess is that the number on the side plate is probably a departmental inventory number of some kind.

Pretty nice for a beater! Great price too. Enjoy shooting that one!

Thanks

These days $300 for a functional pre-lock non-MIM Smith feels like getting it for free lol

I like guns like this, this thing was used as a belt ornament from day 1 and it definitely shows.....someone even scrubbed the recoil shield and cylinder face with a bronze brush so the metal is totally in the white. This gun has a lot of cheap .38 reloads in it's future

A sound investment that will make you smile every time you pull the trigger!
