Greetings,
New guy here from Ohio, and I had to get on here to post pictures of my new to me Model 65-1, and say how much I love this gun.
I am a firearms enthusiast / collector, and I have been looking for a Model 65 for a while, and have never come across one that I really had to have, until the other day.
I had been looking on gunbroker, and found one that I was interested in, and decided to go to my favorite local gunseller to set up a transfer. He asked me what I was looking for, and I said an S&W model 65. He says, 'as it happens, I had a guy trade in a 65 just yesterday'. He walks over to another case, and pulls out an old Smith&Wesson box, and inside is a beautiful Model 65-1, with all of its original paperwork, and in beautiful condition. Needless to say, I didn't have to think too hard to make up my mind.
I was able to shoot this gun the other day for the first time, and I love it. The trigger is smooth, and in single action, it is amazingly light and crisp.
I look forward to many years of enjoyment from this gun, and am proud to have it in my collection.
I couldn't post photos here because of their size, but if you would like to have a look at it, there are photos at the link below.

Sorry for the long first post, but I am obviously very excited about this gun, and thought I would share my experience with it, along with some photos, with fellow gun entusiasts.
