K frame snubby

[Richard Simmons]

Ran across a S&W model 15-3 the other day, LNIB, blued with 2" barrel. I've had a couple of model 10 snubbies but never one with adjustable sights in this frame size. It really looks pretty bitchin. I found it on Saturday but had a couple of other things in the works so I didn't pick it up. Asking price is $525 but I imagine I could get it for $475-$500.

Don't really need it but as you all know I kinda got a thing for S&W revolvers. While this one isn't "rare" you don't see that many 2" Combat Masterpieces. I'd rate it at 98% overall. Any members here a fan of the Model 15?

If all goes well I'll pick it up on Wednesday.

The price seems good but I am not sure about the utility of adjustable sights on a snub nose revolver. That said, I know you collect S&Ws so I don't think you can go wrong.

Hopefully Photobucket will get its issues sorted out by Wednesday. I can't get anything to upload at all.

Update:

Decided to hold of on the 15-3. We've got a gunshot this weekend so thought I'd wait and see if I run across something there. This Xmas bonus has been burning a hole in my pocket for weeks (company always gives us a couple thousand for Xmas) so a few more days wont kill me.

I really need to get a focus on my collecting. Anything S&W is just too broad. I've tried to focus on revolvers only but that isn't exactly limiting in scope and I've been pretty good with only a couple of S&W auto purchases but then figure in a Colt here and there I still can't stay on track. I've even thought about just focusing on one caliber but that dog won't hunt either.

Thank God there aren't many new C&R's coming in. I don't even want a go down that road again. Well ok, I kinda do but I don't think my wife will be as understanding as she was back in the day.
