LEO Trade Model 65s

This has always been my favorite revolver.  I can't stop buying the damn things when I see them come up.  So yes, I got another today.

Enjoy while they last.

Gone already. They never last long.


I have a three inch Model 65 that is just about the perfect combat revolver. Just needs better grips.

I'm actually debating sending one of mine to a smith to get cut to 3" and also make it a round butt.

Best combat revolver is a round butt, 3 inch model 65....



Mine is a factory DAO gun

Wow, Miami you have the most bad ass revolver's of anyone on this site... And yes you're right... the above pictured is pretty much the defining "Combat Revolver!" The trench rear sight channel, low drag ramp style front sight... bobbed hammer, those grips; I love it!

I enjoy carrying a vintage M-36, front pocket carry to quick in and out places after dark. Outdoor's carry is a 4" barreled, moon clip equipped "N" frame.

Just read this in an ad for a S&W 625 model of 1989.
"Sure I would like to shoot your semi-auto just hang it up there with the rest of the targets"

I'm glad I missed out on this, I don't think my marriage could sustain another impulse buy right now.

Came in late last week.  Not as nice cosmetic condition as my others, but still the usual 'damn near unfired' look in general.  Definitely a holster queen.  And whoever had this thing made a loooongtime habit of leaning of it.  The grips are more worn than any I've ever seen on any gun. The ones on the other side are almost smooth.

I just picked mine up today from the FFL. I clicked the notify me button on AIM like a year and a half ago.

I would not have accepted it from my FFL and would be calling AIM telling them to send my FFL a call tag to return it.

Mine was the same.  It had the lock.  My FFL and I were both floored.  

I contacted AIM and they offered a full return with shipping label.  I appreciate that, but they wasted a ton of my time by not at least mentioning there was a risk of a lock.  I will not be keeping mine.  No room for lock guns in my collection.

They could have sorted them and charged a premium for the pre lock models.

Absolutely.  I would have paid decent money to ensure there was no lock.  

Was quite unimpressed with AIM on this one.  I will likely not have a problem getting my money back, but never would have bought this if I knew there was a risk of a lock.

No lock on mine but I do need to re-spring and fix the timing. Lots of wear character.
I got Wolff springs and a new hand on order.
