Picked up this M65-3 3" for $400 last night. Has some pitting around the grip and looks to have been polished. Has the best feeling DA trigger of all my K frames. Cylinder is nice & tight, no end shake, locks up tight, timing seems spot on.
The guy I got it from told me he bought it at Sportsman's Warehouse so I assume it was an LE trade in. It seems to have been carried a lot and shot little. Can't wait to shoot it. I hope I can squeeze in a range visit this weekend. Should make a great shooter / carry pistol. The grips are a tad large for me I think. I may look for something a little smaller.
I might have it bead blasted If I can find someone local that can do a good job for a reasonable price. Might just leave it like it it is. Don't know yet.
