Nice shooting there, FRiend!!
I'm currently looking for a .38 Police Special.....
Speaking of shooting....I'm sighting in my .270, and .50 cal smoke pole this week..!! Whitetail season just around the corner..!!
FRegards,
the model 65 was designed for the OkHP & to survive 25+ YEARS of highway patrol daily service, with FULL-power 357Mag loads, WITHOUT any more maintenance than monthly cleaning!!! (mine, fwiw, will outlast ME & it is willed to my 18YO nephew, upon my death.)
mine happens to be a 4", but the 3" or even the 2.5" barrel is FINE too. (imVho, the barrels shorter than 4" are TOO LOUD & harder to shoot accurately, while being NO MORE concealable than the 4". the "snubbies" just LOOK "cool".)
Model 65's are FREQUENTLY for sale at many gun-shows (in VG or BETTER condition, btw) for the princely sum of $ 250.oo, give or take about 25 bucks. (look for the CA Dept of Corrections "surplus" revolvers, as they were carried but SELDOM fired. MANY that i've seen are UNfired!!!)
another piece of unasked for advice, in a REAL shootout, where your LIFE is at stake, do NOT trust ADJUSTABLE sights. i've seen MANY adjustable sights "come apart" on the RANGE, after as little as 100 shots.
FIXED sights are the thing for COMBAT & will NOT fail you.

one wonders why they don't just not have a year-long open season, as many deer as we now have here.(i saw 5 does in our "front yard" over the weekend & "shooed" a doe out of the road - she was just STANDING there in the road, looking around like a "tourist" - in front of the school down the street SAT about 11AM!!)
