I have a matched pair of 3" S&W mod 65's with narrow, polished triggers, action jobs, and shaved hammer spur. A S&W 940 with action job and dovetailed black front nightsight. A S&W 342 with action job and Crimson Trace LaserGrip. All guns will eventually be fitted with front night sights and a rear on the mod 65's.
Custom carry revolvers...

Has anyone handled an example of Wilson Combat's new "Custom Carry Revolver" based on the S&W 66 Combat Magnum? It looks to be an interesting piece in the gun rags.

S&W 642
Had a 940 Cylinder installed
put an old pair of diamond Magna grips and a Tyler T grip adapter.
Carrys like a dream,
hits like a house afire,
kicks like a mule.

Old thread.
The Taurus M605 I spoke of back in 2001 is gone.
In it's place is a new stock 605 and a Taurus M85SSUL with Eagle rosewood Secret Service grips.
The 605 went because I discovered, much to my dismay that porting on a magnum snub really was not all that beneficial!!!

Nice SP101 custom! I have something similar, done by Weigand before they stopped offering their "Tame the Beast" package. It is a S&W Model 29, 3" heavy barrel, unfluted cylinder. It was rendered DAO and the hammer spur was removed. I had a magna-trigger installed so I could use it as a nightstand gun. It has been hard-chromed by AP&W. Hogue grip and Meprolight tritium night sights round out the package.

Living in MA, back when I was younger, we could get our LTC's at 18 years old, but could not purchase handguns until we turned 21. So, from 19-21, I carried my father's stock S&W revolvers or 1911's.
But, when I turned 21, I bought my first handgun. It was a brand new 3" S&W M65, and I left it with Karl Sokol of Chestnut Mountain Sports before I even fired a shot with it. He rounded the trigger and took all the serrations off of it, bobbed the hammer, but left the SA notch in it, chamfered the chambers, did a smooth action job, but not too light, ran a dovetail mill through the front sight and added an orange inlay, and installed smooth, hard nylon grips. I shot that gun exclusively for many years. My carry load was Federal Classic 125gr JHP's.
But, when I joined the PD, I had to have all my off-duty/backup guns approved. The chief, at the time, would not allow any modified guns, so made the mistake of trading it away.
BTW, if anyone out there has a 3" customized M65 with the SN BPS1861, please contact me. I would like to get it back.
