For info about training or to contact me:
Immediate Action Combatives
Probably, although I've never known about a 2" M-15 with a round butt. But the factory has put out some stuff that never saw a catalog... so I'd say its either a re-do by somebody, or a not-so-common example. If you're willing to cough up fifty or so bucks, a letter to the factory will let you know for sure.
It also appears to have the "ranger trigger", which appeared first on the factory Texas Ranger Commemrative (sp?) M-66, in the 80s. This trigger was neither fish nor fowl. It was almost exactly halfway of the thickness between a skinny standard trigger, and the wide-as-hell "target" trigger on the high-end offerings... both K and N frames. The big thing that electrified the average S&W fan was that the ranger trigger was SMOOTH. The others were grooved, and could wear out your forefinger in rather short order. And, in fact, for the nimrod/recreational shooter, it was indeed a very nice trigger. Serious combat shooters since Ed McGivern have known that if you plan to shoot all trigger-cocking, get yourself a SKINNY trigger and smooth that puppy up.
Anyway, sorry for the sidebar...

Have had the opportunity to yak with Charlie Petty a couple of times over the years. One thing he was fond of saying was that "with S&W, "always and never" are not words that should be used with their handguns, cause sure as hell, some dude in the back room thought a .22LR N frame would be "neat"".But the factory has put out some stuff that never saw a catalog

As fare as I can tell it is marked 15-3 and was shipped in 1970. The trigger is wide and grooved got out to the range and shoot it last weekend it was fun. I have no idea if it is something special or some pieced together gunsmith special. It does seam to have had some work done unless they chamfered the cylinders back then. Its older than I am so I'm more than happy to learn from my elders especially guys who used to work with them.
