Sweet! When the snubnose Model 36 and Model 60 use to be in great demand and short supply, I often times went with a 3" barrel version. Had better balance to it than it's shorter brethren and was still easy enough to carry concealed.
 
I'm not sure if I bought that gun it would remain unshot for 15 minutes let alone 15 years!!! That looks like a great carry gun to me, shoot it already.

About 5 years ago I bought a M36 that was reported to have only 5 rounds through it to test function and then put away. I fixed that problem with 100 rounds the next day.
 
15 years?! Come on, you can tell us. You forgot you had it, didn't you? ;) That's a very nice little fellow! I have its close cousin, a 3" Model 36, and it shoots very well.
 
Old Unc'

I would have to put it to good use. To me it's the epitome of a purpose built concealed carry revolver.
 
Great revolver.
I am not a great fan of satin stainless , also not too enthused about the "Lady Smith" laser etching , but I really like the 3" J frame , so ... many cloth dremel wheels later ---

Nice work! I have used Mother's Mag Polish on a few of my stainless revolvers for a decent, shiny appearance.

I shot the "unfired" Anaconda I inherited from my Grandpa within a week of owning it. I knew I'd never sell it, and I personally would get no enjoyment just knowing it's in the safe.

And I'm glad I did, I recently found out from my cousin that he had "borrowed" it and shot it when he was a teenager living with Grandpa. I always found it odd that this "unfired" gun came with a box of ammo that had 6 rounds missing.
