New acquisition for my collection- S&W Model 15-3 2 inch

[usmcsgt]

Could not resist this one, looked like it might have been test fired and then just carried in a Holster. 1970's era gun with fantastic trigger.

Those are really cool guns. I picked one up police surplus years ago for about $175 I think from Cake-Davis in Sacramento. It came from the DMV investigations unit. (I also got two Model 64 3" at the same time. Those were the good old days.)

Give you $275 lol. I'm still looking for m64 3 inch. I love 3 inch revolvers for daily carry.

Very nice! I lucked into a 2 inch 15-4 a couple years ago off this board. The gun shoots MUCH better than a snub nose should.

I have a dash 3 15 snubbie. I don't think I've even shot it yet...........

The perils of owning a motorcycle AND photography equipment. Shooting takes a break until cooler weather...........

 

[usmcsgt]

Yep a Harley and tons of Canon equipment and expensive lens here too. Maui is super hot this year so only shooting in the AC indoor range.

I picked up this 15-2 yesterday. It was $728, OTD.

I think you did well. The two inchers are hard to come by. Of course, any Vintage S&W is getting hard to come by!

You gotta love Model 15 snubbies. Here's my 15-3 that shipped in March of 1970.

And they just feel great in your hand, even with factory stocks.

Love these 15 snubs! I foolishly got rid of mine some years ago after paying less than $300 for it. Rough on the outside but pristine inside and shot great. Felt the burning need for a different gun and down the road it went.

There is just something cool about a Model 15 snub! Have looked over the years but the right 1 never came along. Bob

Model 15s make great snubbies! Here's our Model 15-2 (ca. 1962/1964) that belonged to my wife's grandfather. It was his EDC when he was a Chief of Detectives in Kommiefornia back in the 1960s and 1970.

Stumbled across one three or four years ago. An interesting rig. Never understood why these didn't have the round butt.

Right!!! I can attest. Me and my sibling were born between 1948 & 1954. We saw maybe the best. Late 60s the Drugs and Love-ins were nothing compared to now. And laying-out on the Boulders at Coffee Camp along the Tule River, basking in the sun between swims (now closed to the public) didn't entail gang graffiti, diapers and trash in every crevice, or just general disrespect of the resources. It was a beatiful time to grow up there.

Btw, nice snubbies here. Enjoyed the pictures and the thread. I just acquired a 2 1/2 M19. Have not even seen it yet. I love my 15s but they are 4".

As 71vette mentioned, they shoot much better than expected.
