And another how did I do thread....SW-M15

[Steve F]

Just closed a deal on a S&W model 15-4 Such a natural feel it has in your hand Square butt,original wood grips, fireing pin on the hammer and passed the ol'e revolver check out test.She's a beauty.....so how did I do at $260?

 

[Ala Dan]

Well, Steve we need a little more info before we
can guesstimate? Would you grade the gun at
90%, 95% or higher. How about fit N' finish?
Same for lock work. Grips- a thing of beauty, or
are they chipped, dinged, or cracked? This info
is important in our decision.

Thanks Ala,yup,I should have said all that up front,I was just a little excited about adding another Smith to the stable I would rate this little honey at an easy 95%,fit and finish as well,and I can find no imperfections or evidence of any of the screws being tampered with,but yes,a T I N Y chip to the grip on the outmost corner.

Thanks

Edited for Serial # ADU49xx born on date please????

Um, lets see here Steve-

Book says $400 = NIB, $275 = EXC

Sounds like yours would go on the + side of $275;
more like $325. I've seen 98 per centers go for as
high as $345, here in my part of the valley. Sounds
like do did well my friend.

Also, book says it was made between Jan and Nov
of 1984; most likely late Sept or early Oct.

My favorite revolver for IDPA is a Model 15 with a heavy tube.

 

[Majic]

A very good price. It could be a really great price if it has a 2" barrel and finished in nickel in my neck of the woods.

 

[Steve F]

Majic,I can't believe I didn't mention the barrel length I is a 2"

Thanks guys

 

[Steve F]

By the way,can this revolver handle most any .38 special rounds that are out there?I load my own for plinking but what would be a good defensive round for carrying please?

Thanks all

Your K-frame M15 is amply strong enough for any factory standard or +P ammo on the market. They are great guns with superb triggers, very accurate, handsomely made, and just plain fun to shoot.

That is the model otherwise known as K-38 Combat Masterpiece, is it not? $260 would be pretty dang good around these here parts.
