Value of a S&W Model 65

[airwolv]

I have aquired a model 65. Serial begins with CEZ. The model is 65-3. I would like to know what the value (approximate) is on this weapon. It is a model 13 in stainless steel with 4" barrel. 357/38spcl+P caliber. Has the factory black rubber grips. Late manufacture. Non adjustable sights. Model 13/65's were apparently manufactured for Military Police and Law Enforcement use.

Condition? Photos would help.

These are NOT at all rare, and the 4" versions are not all that sought-after. Price varies regionally - revolvers seem to bring more here in the Southwest than in the upper East Coast. Hereabouts that gun in 90% condition would probably have a retail (in the case) value of around $325 and could probably be purchased for $300. The price the gun would be worth for sale to the shop would, of course, be much lower.

I hope this was of assistance. Welcome to the forum.

Thanks. The pistol is in very good condition. I got it for $75 from my company. They changed us out to Glock 31's 357sig.

For $75 you should buy every single one they will offer you. I paid $350 OTD for a used/like new 4" 65-5 recently.

+1. Buy em all. Evidently your company either likes you or is run by idiots.

I'll take ten!

If you buy a dozen do you get an extra one free?

Yeah, that's a screamin' deal on a 4" Model 65-3

I looked at a Model 65 exactly like you are describing (right down to being represented as a special order for either police or security) at a store in NW FL that I passed up for $300.00. You stole it! Buy 'em all if you can!

She's enough gun to handle 95% of what mere mortals will ever trip over. At that price?
Sign me up for a dozen!

 

[Erich]

Yep!

I recently bought a 65-3 for $350.00. You got more than a great deal, and welcome.
