A dear friend of mine passed away a few months ago, he was 84 years old, and an all-around great guy.
His family gave me first dibs on buying firearms from his collection. He has some very nice revolvers including a Python and an unfired Anaconda, both of which were well out of my budget range. I chose a very nice S&W Model 15-3 4" heavy barrel. The gun very much reminds me of Jim, classic, rugged, yet refined.  Attached File Attached File |

Love those, are you going to put some larger grips on it or leave it the way it is?

That's a S&W model 10.
A model 15 has adjustable sights. Still a fine revolver. |

Good deal!
Looks like the paperwork in the box is correct for your revolvers model. A 4 inch K frame S&W is as good as it gets!

A classic revolver... I like it.
Your firearm will give decades of good use, while being a good reminder of close alike thinking friends. |

some times having a piece of memory of a good friend has a greater value than anything. One of my good childhood friends gave me his old single shot 20 gauge shotgun when we were early teens. I had a .410 at the time and couldn't hit anything worth beans. He was murdered almost 15 years ago now and I still have that ol shotgun. Have even taken it out on a few occasions in tribute to him.

You are correct. I requested a picture of Jim from his widow to keep with the revolver, she was very happy to oblige. Quote HistoryQuoted:
