I'm quite happy with mine. One of the best groups I've ever fired was with that 3" model 10 using 158 grain lead ammo. I've even used it as an instructional gun when teaching somebody who works for a corrections facility that still issues .38 revolvers for their ERT.
Besides, it's a 3" K frame. They're just sexy.
Why do these always come along when I don't have the gun fund to grab one?
The 3" round-butt K-frame, one of the all-time great handguns IMO.

I only have one. Wish I had more. But the one I have is a beaut - Model 13 round butt. Handles and shoots so well.
My only 3" K-frame is a model 65-1 HB-RB but no shroud. FWIW, the only ones that I have seen with shrouded barrels and real internals were the ones that came in the Lady Smith package back in the mid-nineties. I replaced the pictured grips with a set of factory hardwoods and a set of Tyler T-grips to make it easier to carry. My only druther would be for a front night sight.

If you want a 3" RB/HB K-frame with a shrouded ejector rod, your choices are a 65LS or a PC13.
I find it the height of irony that the most hardcore 3" RB K-frame package sought by the revolver cognoscenti is the Model 65 Ladysmith...
There's a 3" 547 for sale locally... It's torturing me.
