Love those 3" revolvers

[Scrambler]

Couple of keepers. GP100 has Gemini "Small Wonder" fiber optic front sight and Wolff springs. SP101 has Meprolight tritium front sight, Wolff springs and Chig's grip panels.

Colt Police Positive Special that was originally 4" but had a muzzle that looked like it had been stuck in the ground for a while. My machinist buddy cut the barrel and replaced the sight. It's my go to gun for walking around the property.
Slickest action I've ever seen, next to my Officers Model Match.

Did I say I was a Colt fan?

The 3" S&W K frames do well for me.

The 65 jframe posted is identical to the one I am currently carrying aiwb. I'm glad I'm wearing it otherwise I might have had to check and make sure it wasn't mine.

I have a blue 3" Ruger GP-100, a few Colt Couriers in 22LR (which are 3"), and a few Colt Cobra's in 22LR... all 3 inchers.

I own 2", 4" and 5.5" revolvers but none are 3"! I would love to find a 3" S&W M13 some day. That would make a good carry revolver IMO. Yes I know a 3" M65 would be easier to find but I just love Blue and Walnut.

3" is a great .357 belt gun length, long enough for good sight radius and good ballistic performance, short enough to conceal well under a long tail shirt OWB in a slide holster. I have a Taurus 66 3" older gun I carry on occasion and a 3" Rossi 68 5 shot .38 from 1981 that is a dandy, but I don't carry. I bought it for my step dad to get my grandpa's S&W M10 away from him, then he passed away. It shoots well, but isn't really an extraordinary revolver. Makes for a decent .38 kit gun, though. I can shoot it a little better than a 2" gun due to the sight radius.

Not the best photo quality

Only 3 inch Revolver in the safe.. Ruger Sp101.

Greetings
I agree ! Bought a Model 13 3inch S&W some years back. Liked it so much I wacked my 6 inch M19-5 back to 3.5 inches. Would have gone shorter but the barrel inscription would have been right at muzzle end.
They are handier, easier to CC and offer little fps loss to a reloader.

[Yankee Fist]

3" Pythons

Incredible....

 

[oldbear]

all of them are good looking revolvers, but the Ruger with the 3" barrel REALLY looks just right.

 

[Jaymo]

I had a 3" Taurus 65 and 431, 3" Smith 31-1, and a few Charter Bulldogs.
lowercase, your Bulldog looks like the bull-barrel version. I had one like that, and wish I still did.

 

[chuckpro]

These are horrible Pics but i thought i share them any way. S&W 640 m&P, Rossi M720 44spl

 

[cal01]

There is nothing more beautiful than a classic S&W w/ 3" barrel and highly polished deep blue finish!

Is that what I think it is ? Model 19 ?

Looks like a 2.5" Model 19. I have one just like it. The 3" version is very rare.
