I really like the 3" Smith's. Once had a 3" 65 I wish I had held on too....young and dumber then!
You deserve a kick in the butt for letting that one slip out of your hands. That's a hard configuration to find nowadays. I've had one since the 1980s. That's a "never sell."
Yup been kicking myself for about 15 years now. They are hard to find and they command a premium price. One day I plan to have another. I think long and hard before selling any firearm nowadays.
Make sure your quote is correct to avoid being the fool....
Believe it or not, I think the most fun I've had with a handgun is while shooting my S&W 460V. Even with full pressure 460 loads, recoil is manageable. I had some 454 Casull and 45 Colt loads worked up to run through it for reduced recoil, but ever since I discovered Trailboss I've used 460 brass exclusively. I found that around 9 - 10 grains of Trailboss under a 240 gr. LSWC very nearly duplicates 45 Colt standard pressure loads and recoil with those rounds in the 460 is negligible. It's a fairly accurate load, too. I love the versatility of the 460.

That's doing something for me.
