I also have the 3 inch S&W model 65. Like it very much. Think I paid $325, many years ago during the Clinton regime.
I never could get a holster to fit it though. I could only find a 4 inch holster for it. Kinda defeats the purpose, I thought, carrying a 3 inch gun in a 4 inch holster. My as well carry the 4 inch 65.
