3" K Frames

[Tamara]

There's a 3" 547 for sale locally... It's torturing me.

Do it. You know you want to.

Get thee behind me...

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...

I think of it along the same lines as the hat that Ma Cobb gave Jayne.

Tam, when was the tarnsition from forgings to MIM? Got a date or S/N marker?

It varied from model to model and even part to part (the 65 went to a MIM trigger in '97 and then all-MIM lockwork in '98 with the -6 variation,) but it's easy to tell at a glance: If the firing pin is on the hammer, where God and Dan'l B. Wesson meant for it to be, it's pre-MIM.

Cool. Thanks!

I bit the bullet and finally bought one.
No regrets.
