Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Smith & Wesson Model 13/65 Three Inch/Round Butt

I've had a 65 for many years. Shot it a bit, and carried it briefly in the 1980s (right after buying it brand new), but then put it away. It's been living in the back of my gun safe till recently when, for one reason or another, I decided it would once again make an ideal CCW in a Milt Sparks VM II IWB holster. Anyway, taken it to the range a few times recently, and learning to appreciate it all over again. So much so that I decided that I'd better procure a back up duplicate just in case. Always believed in the wisdom of buying two of everything you like.

All week been searching for either a 13 (blued version), or another 65, with a three inch barrel/round butt frame. No local shops have one. Nothing on the Internet. Keep coming across commentary on it, though, stating how rare they are, and how if you find one, grab it up. Had no idea. Makes me feel all the more fortunate to have one, but sure would like to find a duplicate back up for it.
