Model 65-3

I'm new to this forum & fairly new to guns in general, but I recently picked up a model 65-3. It has a pearl handle which I haven't seen in any pics yet & I paid $500 for it. It's in excellent condition & has the S&W Logo on the barrel as well as a S&W medallion on the handle. Was just wondering if I got a good deal. I absolutely LOVE the gun & it seems like they tend to run around $500. I got it from a private collector & he didn't give me any papers. I'm thinking of getting the letters of authenticity, but wondering if it's worth the $50.00. I attached a picture of it. Please let me know what y'all think. Thanks y'all

You got a good deal at $500. I would not take that for mine. Save your $50, they are not rare, but because they are .357, 3", full ejection rod, good sight radius, very concealable they are in high demand and very hard to attain. Prices are going up. In my opinion it is the best concealed handgun Smith ever made.

$500 is a good price...... for LNIB........

I'd been looking for a 3" 65 for about 5 years around here.Finally found one last month ..65-5... asking price $495 at a small rural LGS. He is generally $50-100 lower (sometimes even more) than the Pittsburgh gun shops.

Deals are always out there..... but finding "the gun" you want "locally" can be a real issue.

Can a 65-4 be rebarrelled to a 3 inch. I picked up a 4 inch that has had extensive work done to it. Including porting. This thing is super slick. I just don't think I like ported.

Yes you can rebarrel your 4" to a 3" and there are a couple of ways to do it.
