Here is the Model 10’s big brother. NIB Model 13-3. Not quite as old as the Model 10 but every bit as sexy. Along for the post is it’s darker companion, another 13-3. Personally I think the Model 10 sold for the right money. I wouldn’t take 1k for either one of mine. These are the only 2 Model 13’s with 3” Barrel that I’ve ever seen in person.Homerboy

Bud’s was selling a bunch of 3” square butt model 10’s like 5 years ago. They were from some Australian PD. I think they were like 300 bucks. I got one, went to pick it up, and the condition was OK. Just normal holster wear. But the square butt didn’t look right in a 3” revolver, and I stupidly let it go. I wish I hadn’t done that.

A 3inch model 13 is my grail gun

I saw a 4” model 10 nickel at the pawn shop I try to stay away from for about 6 bills. It looks to be in fit shape. Not your 3” rare model.

I have found a few 4" model 10 leo buybacks in the $375-400 range, and I may end up with one, but a 3" is what I really want...

You could always look for a 65 heavy barrel and have it cut.

Well 64.

Yeah that's something i'm contemplating as well. if I had a spare barrel sitting around I would cut it down and weld a sight on it then clean it all up, but I would be afraid to do that to the barrel on the gun in case I screwed it up...

Unless your pretty fit and fair with the tools required I’d say that is more of a pay a pro project.

I just listed a 3" Model 64 Barrel in the Classifieds. You can convert one now and not worry about screwing up your existing barrel

It may well be that the buyer will stick it in the safe, but $1000 is really not too much for a carry gun and maybe they are going to shoot and use the gun.
I'm not following that line of thinking ... To me $1000 is a lot of money for a carry gun. I do not carry junk ; for less that 1/2 that amount one can find a 2" K frame in very goon mechanical condition , every bit as reliable as a $1000 3". If I were to pony up for a high condition 3" like the one referenced by the OP I would not be holstering it daily and exposing it to the rigors of edc.
Of course , to each his own.

$1000 is too much for ME to spend on a carry gun, and my wife would probably kill me for spending it anyway... But nice stuff does cost money...
