at local store for $275. no box, good condition. is this a deal and are they rare?

Rare no, good guns,very nice. Price? I don't know your location, it's not overly high,J&G were selling them for around 200-225 ( by the time you pay a gun dealer 25- 40$ to have it shiped it will be about the same) These are police turn in. Most are in very good shape and well worth the money, I just picked up a Model 18 ( Same as a 15 but in .22) in like new condition for 180.

I always felt that a 3" Model 10 or 13 is one of the best concealed carry revolvers out there, good basic revolver and stone solid. The 3" is a good barrel length and the ejector is long enough to clear the empties out of the cylinder, a lot of the snubbies don't have enough travel to completely clear the empty cases from the cylinder.

Ditto G36

Model 65-5. Pretty much a Model 10 but .357Mag and Stainless. sorry about pic quality.

I love mine to death. They're not super-rare, but very hard to find...I suspect that owners don't let theirs go. I know mine won't ever go anywhere. They're the ideal carry revolvers, IMHO. Simple,s turdy, reliable as the sunrise, no worries about durability or cleaning out deposit rings after shooting .38 Specials.

As already said, not a rare gun as many were made and sold (over many, many years), but a fairly rare find as they aren't made anymore and not many owners let theirs go. As for the price, around here that would be a steal for a 3". I would absolutely love a 3" M10 or M64 to compliment my 3" S&W 65LS.

I would grab that fast,been looking about two years and not found one yet

An excellent, classic, functional carry piece that will get you through most anything you'll face....

The base Model 10 price would depend on your area, but I would think the 3 incher would be scarce everywhere. If you plan to carry the gun, then the 3 inch barrel might be worth $50 or so over the usual Model 10 cost. In some places a garden variety Model 10 goes for $150, in others it goes for $250. If a 4 inch Model 10 sells for $225 or so in your area then the $275 tag is pretty much on target.

DO make sure you are measuring the barrel correctly. Measure from the front of the cylinder to the muzzle. A 4 inch barrel measures 3 inches if you start measuring at the barrel/frame junction.
