I saw a really nice 14-4 6" 3Ts today with original box. Barely a turn line on the cylinder. Shop also had a 15-3 in really good condition. Prices were around $600 +/-. I really like the pinned barrel Smiths.

I just love the old 14/15s I have a 15-1 With target trigger 4" 38 Spec....Probably my 2nd favorite Smith after my 19-3 6" 357
But The 19 doesn't get shot a lot because it is pristine but the 15 is just so much more shootable and carry-able

Those prices just keep on going up, don't they?
Watch Gunbroker diligently. I did and got this Model 15 for $285! Super happy with it.

The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions.

I don’t normally gloat, but, $360 on Gunbroker.
That's not gloating, that's making others aware of deals to be had.Originally Posted by Jtarm

That is probably a good price for a 14 with box. My trouble is I would shoot it for a couple of decades instead of going the safe route.

There are deals to be found!
One Adam 12, see the man...
That 14-4, in stated condition, would be a screaming deal around here. I would have owned it.
The 15-3 is about right.
Nothing better than a good 14.
Got my 15-1 on GB too! $365 if I remember correctly : when it arrived I was delighted because it was way nicer then I thought it would be!
If you do your sellers research you find some guys that really under rate the quality of their items! I bought 3 S&W this way and they were all better than described!

A guy bragging about the quality of his item for sale puts up a red flag for me! ( yes I did buy a few of those and was never happy ! Sold them off for a loss)

I traded for a model 15 today, very happy with the trade. On the lookout for a nice model 14.
I wrestle with picking up a Model 14. On one hand, it wouldn't do anything my 6" model 66 doesn't do already, since I shoot almost exclusively .38 wadcutter loads. But, they are just soooo nice looking!
I feel that shooting a 14 regularly with mild loads keeps my overall revolver shooting in good shape.
I only have one 15 and don't shoot it very much. I have two m14s, one unfired in original box with docs, tools, ect. The other is in very high condition and has shot thousands of target WC loads. The price on S&W blue revolvers is catching up on some models. 5 yrs ago m14, m19-6" and 28-6" were good buys. Other than NIB P&R era guns the bubble has been reached on S&Ws.
