Not sure why anyone would like 3" frames.... . But I suppose they are OK...

There seems to be a lot of people(including me)that prefer the 3'' and 5'' S&W to the 4 and 6''.
Anybody at S&W has some numbers of how many they'd sell?What about making a few special runs of each?
I won't hold my breath until it comes to be...my lips'll probably turn blue before!

If Smith did that they would not be as popular. Eliminate the 4 inch, and see what happens. IMO the 4 inch is the perfect barrel for a K frame for carry. It makes no difference IWB carry whether 2 inch, or 4, they both conceal the same. A K frame is not a pocket gun, and if it was it would take some big pockets for a three inch.

I salute you guys that love the 3 inch, but personally I just don't get it. I remember when I had my snub model 19, I didn't keep it long because it was no better than my model 67 for any type of K frame carry.

I was a hold out , I didn't see the need for a 3" K frame till I got one. As i said before the sky opened up and I could hear the angels singing.

I Like 'em...

A 3" 66-4

A 3" 65 Lady Smith

A modified 3" 13

If they're not 3" I make 'em that way. 3" 19-7

A 3" 617-1

A 3" 17-8

Why stop at K frames? Nothin' wrong with a 3" L frame 681

Or a 3" CS-1

Or a slightly longer than 3" Heavy Duty

Or a 3" 44 Magnum

Anyway you cut it, 3 inches is where ya cut it.

I need (?) a three inch...

All of my guns are snubs or 6". I NEED a K frame with a 3" or maybe 4" barrel.

Had this 10-8 a while back...

An agency 65-5 that I had a while back. Really good shooter, but just couldn't warm up to the agency engraving.

A NIB 64-3 - purchased from our very own enraged gorilla. I sold it w/ out ever firing, but the new owner wasted no time getting to the range...

Purchased this LNIB M65-3 from a forum member a few years back, & it's still hanging around - for some reason.

Can't begin to match alot of the gorgeous stuff you guys are showing here....
I only have two K 3" pieces.
A regular old M65 (can't recall dash no.) and a slightly unusual M&P .38 3" tapered. Mr. Roy shows a ship date of 1958 on it, and it is not model-marked.

A real want (not need) would be a 3" M547, but they've gotten a bit crazy to have been a 'slow seller' back in the day

I'm really liking this Model 65-5 I recently acquired.

My 65-5:

Gotta' say, I'm diggin' the exotic wood boot grips on your -5.

I'd like to find a similar set (Badgers maybe??), as a change of pace for the Pachmayr Compacs on my -3.

I'm pretty sure there are more then a couple of guys out there, that would gladly trade a couple of eye teeth - for either of the two pistolas shown.

The tapered 3" M&P is especially interesting.

I only have one 3" k-frame, a 65-3 that I recently purchased from a relative. It's been in the family for years and, to be honest, I never had much interest in it. Boy, I didn't know what I was missing. I absolutely love the 65-3 and carry it as my EDC from time to time. What a fantastic handgun!

They do tend to grow on ya'...

I like them quite a bit, having carried one as our last issued revolver. The Model 13 was one of the best carry guns that I have ever had.





Also like the 547.

Yeah I really like the 3 inch revolvers. Would love to find a 3 inch RB 10.

I have a 3 inch GP100 and the 2.75 inch Speed Six but the K frame Smiths are pretty elusive around these parts!

Nice pics everyone.

 

[M3Stuart]

I'm a huge fan of 3" K's. I think they are the best product they make!

Grabbed another 3" Model 10 this morning. The finish is ugly on her and shes been carried a whole lot, but the action and lockup are very nice and tight. For $280 OTD I couldn't refuse..
