The ultimate 3" picture thread. More three inch madness.

[papajohn428]

At my second PD job there was a cop that had a 3" Lew Horton 41 Mag, and while it looked cool, it was too big for everyday carry. The cop who owned it was fond of saying it had, "the illusion of concealability". And he was a big boy!

I bought it from him, then foolishly sold it.

My massive 3" J-frame collection doubled last Saturday with the addition of my new 60 Pro:

Stainz

That is too funny - I have the EXACT same two 3" models!
I'll see if I can post a pic of them soon.

M60 3 inch

Honey, I shrunk the 686.

Current production M60 3 inch.

Looks like a 3/4 size 686 to me.

I like the factory grip on this gun.

I ordered another of these grips off the S&W site for my M642.

I'm thinking the three finger grip will help me shoot the M642 a little better.

I have that rubber grip on my Mod 63, the little 8-round .22LR that I mentioned (is the same as in the picture just above yours). I really like that grip, just as you do. I was planning on swapping it out for some prettier wood - but I shoot it so well with those original, that I'm keeping the revolver that way.

Those stocks are factory Smith and Wesson Combat Stocks that someone has filed down and personalized...

I think you meant to say "Someone has filed down and RUINED"

Here's my M547 which Mr. Jinks letter says it is part of the the pilot run of 1980. There were about 40 made with the 3" barrell out of a total of 140 in the run. The s/n is 5D590XX.

Somehow I get the idea that you don't live in NJ. WOW, double WOW.

All I have is a pair of threes-But I will play!!!

Here are a pair of 3 inchers, one a 627-3 in a PC v-comp and the other is a 629-5 3 inch V comp. The 3 inch pre lock V comps are seldom seen so what better place to show them off but on Allen-frames thread!! Dont they look cool in the old style high ride holsters with exposed trigger guards!!!

I got this from Lew Horton in the mid 80's when I was in the sporting goods business. The original goncalo grips are put up. It's not pristine. I used to carry it until it finally dawned on me what would happen to what little hearing I have left if I had to use it w/o ear protectors. I had it Magnaported. It did not come that way. That probably did not help its value but that's alright. I'll never sell it.

Been awhile since this thread got a bump. This new pick-up, a minty 29-3 three-inch .44 magnum belongs in this thread.

63-5 3" Now after seeing prior posts I'm suffering from caliber envy

 

[GaryS]

Two recent acquisitions. My first two 3" revolvers came within 2 months of each other after looking for five years. Same dealer too. He also has a 629 3", but that's too rich for my blood.

64-6 on the left 13-4 on the right.

My two 3" Smith's. It was January 1999 and I was looking for a 50th Birthday present from me to me and there they were. I used the 610 for years in IDPA, now use a 646.

This 624 works for a living.
