1974 vintage complete package for a near new S&W model 15-3 2".
Somewhat hard to find with all the paperwork, tools and original sales slip. Snagged it off GB as a buy it now.
Condition has exceeded my expectations.
Nice 2" Combat Masterpiece.

Very nice piece there. I bought a shooter some years ago for $155 OTD, and it shows a little more surface wear now, because I carry it a lot. I bobbed a spare hammer and put Rogers/Safariland grips on it. It shoots as well as a 4", even DAO, and in my clothing, the sights are not a problem. One of the best carry guns I have ever owned.
 
Very nice, especially with all the extras.

I have heard it said that the 2" Model 15s were known to be exceptionally accurate shooters. Perhaps it is that short, stiff barrel, although sight alignment will tax your technique and eyes. The excellent trigger on them contributes much to their reputed accuracy. Mine is no exception in that regard. It turns in some remarkable groups if the eyes and hands are up to snuff! Find a good load and enjoy it at the range.
 
Real nice!

Would have been pretty cool if they made round butt model 15 snubs
 
when i look at smith's new catalog i see nothing that's as good as that old model 15,she is a beauty.
 
Go on and shoot it. Life is short. Besides, you'll get at least your money back someday if you decide to sell. Im sure like mine, it will never see a holster so it should stay pretty even if you shoot it. 🔫
 
Excellent choice. Mine has a Tyler-T and changed my mind on snubbys. Life is to short to cheat yourself and not enjoy that example of what a 2" should be. I find that it prefers 148gr. WC's and 158gr. FMJ's. Your mileage may of course very. Enjoy.
 
Nice snub 15's guys. Keep them coming.
I only have a 4"er, but I do have a nice Model 10 snub. :D
 
My latest is a like new 15-4 Snub. It is my new Barbecue Gun.
They sure are nice revolvers.
The comment about a Zillion of them??? I am not sure they are all that common. In my area you seldom ever see one.
