Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Anyone Else Have A 3" Problem

I think I might have a Thang for 3" revolvers.

The Smythes



The Others



And, yes I know the Speed Six is 2 3/4, get off my back!

My 3” model 60 Smith is easy to shoot and carries well.

Yes, I have an S&W N frame 3" problem:

I think mine is getting closer to a 3” problem as I age.

The only 3" revolvers that I have are Rossi 720s (x3) and a Taurus 441.

I had a couple of S&W 696s, but I decided that I liked the Rossi 720s better from a carry a lot shoot a little anti-snake revolver.

I have a S&W 27 with a 3.5" barrel that I've had for 30 years and have never carried afield, probably never will, just storing it for the next owner.

Very nice

Nice, I have a definite 3" 44 Special problem, and they ain't getting any cheaper.......

Nice collections, men! Suddenly I have 3" envy.

I look around at my 7.5 inchers, and wonder, what am I subconsciously compensating for?

I have a few 3" in the collection. A S&W model 60 and 66. A Ruger SP101 and a 2 3/4" Security Six if that counts. A Colt Police Positive converted from 38 S&W to 32 H&R. They seem to be a good balance of compactness and accuracy.

Bought my wife a 3" taurus 942. POI is 4" high at 7-8yds, even worse further out. I've noticed since I bought it last year they're out of stock everywhere. Thinking about trading it in.

I carried a 3" Model 13 for years. It's the ideal barrel length for a K-Frame if you intend to carry it concealed.

I also like my two 3" Charter Arms Bulldog .44s.

Those are some nice collections.

I only have a couple DA revolvers, a 4" Security Six, and 3" LCRx.

A 3” barreled S&W Model 66 is my favorite all time Double action Revolver. Right ahead of a 5” barreled S&W Model 29.

If Ruger will ever make the damned 3” LCRx in .327 Fed Mag with the adjustable sights that they promised 3 FUQKING YEARS AGO, it will be the perfect little “Kit Gun”, and I’ll buy one. 🤠

I remember when that was supposed to be in the pipeline. I think it would be a popular revolver.

629, 64, SBH bisley 3 3/4” is what I gots.

Here's a couple.
Bob

M10 with 3" AND square butt. Is that common?

Nice !!!
Wasn’t that what the ole Jim Cirillo from the famous NYC Stakeout Squad carried and killed 10 or 11 stick up bad guys with ???

I wrote a letter to Ruger suggesting that version about 6 or 7 years ago. Suggested it would be the ultimate kit gun, and also a great Revolver to use in training ladies that had never shot or owned a handgun, that took my CHL Course
Told them I’d be glad to field test the 1st one they made if they’d send me one. And wouldn’t even charge them a fee for research and development. 😬
About 4 years later they claimed it was “in the works” and would be out soon.
Guess they are too busy trying to push that ugly ass 9mm PC Charger Pistol & Carbine to sell the Prepper’s and Gang Bangers.😬 And the cheap looking Wrangler. Oh and the 5.7 Pistol you can’t get ammo for.
