Yea or Nay

Found a 65-1 thats beautifully fully master engraved from 1976. Box and papers. But no original grips. Ajax genuine stag grips. Supposedly. Anywho I know it's more of a CC Cary gun. Wouldn't be my intention. Any thoughts on not exactly the most popular model for .357?

I am assuming that it has a 2.75" barrel? (you did not mention barrel length) To me if the price was right, why not? You might be better off with a 686. ( more robust) What will the gun be used for mainly?

Thanks Bob! 4". I CC a 3" Smitty 1911 clone (in the Lord's caliber) or a snubby Kimber K6S in .357. So it would be a nice addition to my safe as well a good rotation wheel gun full disclosure I have many other wheel guns, Danny W .44 2 Pythons 3 King Cobras 1 Anaconda 3 Kimber K6S's & even 2 cowboy Ruggies ! Haven't picked up my 4" 1956 Kit gun in .22 yet. Love to target shoot and try new guns. I've got an affliction for Pretty and reliable guns tho

I'm new to S&W wheel guns, just thought I'd like to hear from the "peanut gallery" as they say. Thanks

Carry it if you like; that's what they were made for.
