Any love for the Smith model 15?

mine

Actually, I forgot, with a little help from John Linebaugh, I did figure out how to hit with this one and it is pretty good now, too. Or should I say, I got better with it?

I love the Mod 15 I have one that belonged to a Newport Arkansas Police Officer in the 1960's and is a 4 screw Mine has battle scars HEEHEE It still has most of the blueing on it and has the original grips!!! It has a nick in the grip from where I was told that it was in a bad gun fight and to make a long story short the suspect didnt make it. I am in law enforcement also and we are not issue weapons so we carry whatever we qualify with. I carry it some off duty but i do not feel under gunned with it due to the surpurb accuracy. I will never sell my 15!

I just picked up a 6" 15-4 to go with my 2" 15-4. Both are some of the sweetest shooting wheelguns I have ever owned.

Let me begin with the M15 is my favorite handgun. Yes, that includes 1911s, BHPs, N-frames, etc. I have owned a lot of M15s and sold all but the one I presently own. Every time I sold a M15 I experienced an ache in my gut and asked myself why another gun had caught my fancy? This is the one I have, it isn't fancy but I am happy! Regards, Richard

Here are my M-15's.

M15-6


<15-3
I have liked the M15 since I carried it in the USAF until the change to the Beretta.

I just got yet another 85% model 15 for the princely sum of $225. It is a 5 screw with mildly worn diamond grips. It has TT and TH , and is the earliest example with that option I've seen. It also has a Patridge blade sight on the front like a model 14, it is pre 15 marked so maybe it is a 4" K-38 and not a Combat Masterpiece. It has a superb action and does not appeared to be worked on. I already have a 5 screw marked model 15 , cased up with my 5 screw 18 . So this odd ball is gonna stay handy, I think I am gonna sight it in with mid range wadcutters and replace my Colt Trooper .22WMR with it as a utility gun.

Why am I a sucker for high gloss nickle? Beautiful revolvers.

Great pics guys! Truely, a great model.

Here's mine...





Stupid question... is the 15 basically a Model 10 with adjustable sights?

 

[DrLaw]

Yes, it is, but your model 15 makes a model 10 look like a before and after photo for some sort of makeover or one of those fancy photo sessions. Kind of makes me want a Model 15 with a two inch barrel even though I would have no need for it.

Aw heck, I figured Combat Masterpieces didn't count........Here's my favorite revolver.

 

[XavierBreath]

Oh, and I can't forget my Model 15-9!

 

[1KPerDay]

Cool! Who does your color case hardening?

 

[Bellevance]

Here are my two 15-3s and their big brother. That nickel 15 has the best trigger on any gun I own.

 

[Piedmont Plinker]

Mister 1kperday- I believe that that is a 'Heritage' series revolver that came from the factory like tht. I rember reading about it some where, and I remeber the Monogrip, the huge front sight, and some sort of plaque on a side.
I could be wrong, though.

 

[XavierBreath]

It is indeed CZ22. The cool thing is the first Heritage Series were Performance Center guns. Thus, the Model 15-9 is a PC gun. Doug Turnbull did the case hardening on them.

 

[Piedmont Plinker]

XB- am I correct in rembering that you got a good deal on that gun, like in the $500 range?

 

[XavierBreath]

Yes, IIRC it was $599 from CDNN. Here's a range report.

Here is a couple pics of the 15-4 4"
