Greetings fellow Smithophiles.
Much has been discussed recently about the perfection that is 3" Smiths.
The 10s,13s,65s, 66s,547s,686s,696s,24s,624s,27s,657s, 625s.
And even the J frames with their full length ejector rods get the nod.
Everybody loves them. Everybody wants them.

They are cool and look bad A**.

To qualify for this thread it has to be a Smith and Wesson
between 3.0"s and 3.975"s.

Js, Ks, Ls, Ns, and X frames are all welcome.

So let's do this. Post pictures of all your Three inchers.


Edited September 2nd. 2011. Here is a group shot of all current 3in. Smiths.
Reallt didn't know I had this many. I may need psychotherapy. ..... Nah.

Holy crap! I would be thrilled to have even a 1/3 of that collection. By the way, great job on the photos.
 
Couldn't pull up your address in your profile so I could report you to the loonie patrol so I could confiscate them weapons and cure you of your sickness:)!

Love them all but them 27's and your chopped 28 really do something for me.

Please tell me you have a Ft. Knox bolted to your floor with 4K lbs. of weight inside, a pack of hungry and mistreated Pitbulls/Rotweillers inside and a very good security system for them beauties.

Absolutely beautiful collection!
 
I don't think 3 inch S&W revolvers exist...least not on the local market. I've looked for weeks on two auction sites looking at literally hundreds of photos, looking on this site and a couple others. There are none out there. YOU guys have them all. If you do run across one, someone has already bought it and it's always a "pending funds" scenario. Maybe they're all on Fantasy Island.
 
Here's my 3" 24 Lew Horton .44 Special. The action was done by Andy Cannon and the grips are from Guy Hogues shop from back in the day when he had the custom shop and you sent him a tracing of your hand and made the grips himself one at a time. Sorry my pics aren't up to snuff but at night I don't have any good lighting!
