My current CCW is a Kimber Compact CDP and I love it. But up until I bought this in '01, I've always been a revolver man for serious work.
S&W Model 14, K-38 Masterpiece.
S&W Model 19, 4".
S&W Model 28 4", Armalloy finish, trigger job, Hogue Monogrips.
S&W Model 686, 4", Hogue Professional grips.
What I've always wanted, but never had was a S&W Model 15 (IIRC) or Model 65 with 3" barrel and round butt. Fixed sights on a K-frame in .357 magnum. Blue or stainless wouldn't matter, but blue preferred all else being equal. I was looking at my local gunshop the other week and mentioned this and they pulled out a current Ladysmith with 3" barrel and said they could get one without the pretty finish and grips.
But I want an old one! I have heard that there were some made up as a special run for one of the big distributors. I've never actually seen one, though. Did they ever exist or am I just dreaming? It seems to me that this would be the perfect revolver for CCW.
