You are not the only one out there with same love affair.My idea would save the 8-3/8'' and buy a new 4'' M58 and send in to to worked on.I would hate to tell you but there still some 3'' M57 out here where I hang out.
The work can be done.Off the top of my head C & S has done it for me.
If you want a 3" K frame make the decision to find/buy one and do it!
In the grand scheme of things they are not unicorns... They are available pre-lock, pre MIM, pre-blasted, ect. Just gotta look and be ready to pounce.
I found my 3" Ashland run (AHL prefix) Model 66-2 for sale right here in the forum classifieds.
I knew I wanted one, I knew it was going to be expensive, but I got what I wanted and couldn't be happier that I didn't wait any longer.
Do I wish I found mine at a "show" for $500, of course!! Cause if I did,now I'd have two!! Nice job BTW `

P.S. my first love is Blued/Wood but a 19 3" is WAAAAAY above my pay grade

Why? They may look cool, but the additional ounce or two of rotational mass just gets in the way of a light DA pull.

Not much of a revolver fan, but why is a 3" revolver so desirable. I see 1.875"....2.125"...2.0"...4.0"...and a 6.0"...lol I would think that should give anyone a pretty good choice. Please make this a day I can actually say..."I learned something today"!
The paper thin forcing cone was why I sold off my 44spec Night Guard. I was concerned with the long term durability.
It was a nice shooter though.
I should have bought the 315 instead.

Because when you push the ejector rod the cases are fully ejected from the cylinder. With no extra barrel sticking off the front.

You do enough revolver shooting and you learn what works. While I've shot deer with my 3 inch S&W M696 44 special, I think that 5 inch is the perfect all around white tail gun. Easy to holster and carry around the woods all day, long enough to shoot good. Of course 5 inch is also a rare length.
When it comes to concealed carry, many agree that 3 inch is the perfect packing revolver. Long enough to shoot accurately at any defensive distance, yet easy on the belt.
This feeling just comes from shooting allot of different DA revolvers. That's about the best I can do to explain it

I "need" a 3" model 65.
If you think you do.... You do.
When you track one down, and buy it, you will have no regrets.

Actually pretty good explanation that did teach me something. Only revolvers I have ever shot was a 38 snub nose and a 6" western style .22 Heritage. I guess I can relate it to me shooting my .22 semi with the 3" then putting the 5" on it and being much more accurate. Thanks for the reply....also thanks to the others that replied to my questions.
That's what she said [emoji1]

I stared at this for a little and then busted a gut. Too funny, even if it's off topic!!!!!
