Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In the mid-1950's, there was a push to get S&W to chamber the extremely capable .357 Magnum in to the medium K-frame. Before that happened, the K-frame was the home to the .22, .32 and .38 Special revolvers. The K-frame is just one absolute sweetheart of a revolver and it has been argued that Smith & Wesson has made over six million K-frame .38 Special revolvers, making it the single most-produced "model" of handgun in history. The Model 65 is a stainless steel K-frame .357 Magnum. It was born for combat/service duty. It lacks the ejector shroud of the Models 19/66. It kind of looks like a stainless version of the Model 10/64. The Model 65 is the stainless version of the Model 13. With a 3-inch barrel, it's more compact than the extremely popular 4-inch barrel, but yet still has a full-length ejector rod. Many folks much prefer this aspect of a 3-inch S&W over the 2-3/4 or 1-7/8" snub-nosed revolvers.
Condition and Contents:
As you can see in the many high resolution photos, this Smith is in Excellent condition showing no indications of regular consumer use or handling that we can see.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
