Potato pics, sorry.

Local store had this at $467. Model 67. Serial looks like it would put it late 60's. early 70's. Pics don't do it justice. Looks to be unfired.




Stainless, the black desk messes with my phone.

Very nice!  You did fairly well OP. Everything lock up well?

First gen Mod-67, very nice.

ETA:  Model-67 no dash was made from 1972-1977.

Cool.

Everything is nice and tight.

I have a model 63 .22 looks just like that.

They would make a nice matching pair!

Nice gun!

Easily a $600 gun where I live.  And I mean easily.

Great score. Congrats OP!

Very nice OP

Good.

K frame is best frame.

Excellent price.

Agree. That's a clean example.

I looked at that gun yesterday and it’s nice. I already have many 38cal smith’s but told a buddy he should go buy it. Looks like he snoozed on that deal. Nice score OP.

I’d buy it for that price.

If it's reasonably tight and well timed, you did great.

(In before the dudes that were buying $199 nearly unfired police trade in revolvers, $69 SKSs, and <$0.10/rd Guatamalan/South African 5.56.)

Very nice!  I like stainless pistols.  I have a model 617 stainless S&W .22lr and a Beretta 92fs Inox.

Same. I only have three non-stainless revolvers and one is a Wrangler (9 stainless).

Where you guys shopping at?

Good score OP

That’s a good one.

That's what she said!

Very nice OP. These "obsolete" guns are sure pretty popular.

That store seems to under price S&W revolvers.  I bought a used S&W 340pd, model 60 and a 649 earlier this year for $299.00 each.

Looks good

Sportsman’s warehouse in TC.

That's excellent!

I keep wanting a minty 65 with a 3" barrel myself.

Hopefully soon.

Since this is your first revolver, a piece of advice on the care and feeding of them:

When you close the cylinder, push gently on the cylinder CRANE, and not the cylinder itself, to do so.

And whatever you do, never "flick" the cylinder closed by flicking your wrist, like you used to see in old, stupid movies of yesteryear.

(Prevents stressing the center tube of the cylinder crane).

Very nice!

Good score OP, enjoy.

I need another gun like a new hole in my head, of my S&W revolvers I'm heavily biased (in both ownership and preference,) for blued over stainless, but I'd have snagged it at that price.

OK, here's one for ya:

Around about '96 or so I walked (with some trepidation, knowing Mr. Miller's personality and having already pissed him off by walking in and asking to use his phone,) into Miller's Gun Shop in Gulfport MS.  I was nearby with my broken down '85 Mercury Marquis waiting on a tow truck after the driveshaft fell out, and decided to kill some time there waiting after calling for said tow truck.  Now, Old Man Miller was a cantankerous and rather unpleasant chap who ran his gun shop out of the garage of his house, a part of the structure that was on commercial zoned land.  As I wandered around the joint being a pain in the behind looky-Lou, I spied something....peculiar.  I saw what appeared to be a 6 inch S&W Highway Patrolman, looking mint if dusty, perched atop an old blue S&W box in a display case, looking like something out of the 1970s.  There was a price tag, old fashioned little paper tag attached with string around the trigger guard on it which read.......$64.95.  I, again with some reluctance, got Mr. Miller's attention, and he stomped over with his usual expresion of thinly veiled hatred and asked what I wanted.  I asked him something like "how much for that Model 28?" to which he replied, and this is a direct quote, as I doubt I will forget this unless Alzheimer's gets me, "What's it say on the fucking price tag?" I told him what it said, and he said "Well then that's the fucking price!"  

Despite barely having the cash for the tow on me, I ran out the store and grabbed the $20 I kept in the glove box for emergencies and scraped up enough to buy the thing on the spot.  Happily enough the tow truck driver agreed to get paid after dropping the car off, so he took it and me to friend's house where I knew I could borrow the dough required.  

[Still have it*, but Katrina's flood waters took the box from me---when packing my firearms for quick transit out of the house, I put all my then owned pistols and revolvers into a pair of foam lined rifle cases to fit everything, barring my 5 inch S&W 27 and its felt lined presentation case.  Figured I'd be back the following day to re-stow everything, but ended up doing water rescues for a few weeks and having the house experience the tide while full of polluted water for a couple weeks.  The results weren't pretty.]


ETA: * By "it" I mean the Model 28, not the amazingly crappy Marquis that had the engine kinda blow up and catch fire about 6 months later, after I spent the money to replace and fix the driveshaft issue.

Don't most places just make the asking price double whatever they paid for it?

Same here

That was a good buy.  Most of my guns are prelock S&W revolvers so guess I have a thing for wheel guns.

Great Deal!

I love K-Frames. I currently have 6 of them and there is another gun show here this weekend!

Nice score!  
I'd strip it, polish it up a bit, and shoot it!  

Nice gun. The 67/15 will last forever and everyone I have shot has been incredibly accurate. My wife has a 2" m15 that's like a laser and shoots 5-6" groups DA at 25 yards.

A 4" k frames is a great do all handgun too. Small enough to conceal but large enough to shoot easily.

With a 158gr wn-swc at 900-1000fps it's no slouch either. I even get 930fps with pulled 147gr 9mm HSTs from a 3" gun.

You did very well but please be warned - this is almost as bad as BRD. Especially love my .357's.

I've had its twin for more than forty years.  Early model with the stainless rear sight, which kind of sucks to be honest.  I touch mine up with a Sharpie from time to time.

Not that many years ago, Model 67 prices hadn't caught up with Model 66s and blue revolvers.  Not any more.  Good deal, enjoy shooting it!

Snake Plisskin backup gun, nice

I think you did well.

I'd have jumped at that myself.

I have actually qualified with that model revolver .

Any time you can buy a vintage S&W revolver that doesn’t look like it was kicked down a gravel road for less than $500, you did well…

This. Nice gun and nice price for these days. I've got a no dash 67 too.
