Show us your S&W Model 15s and 67s

I also wish we could rename threads and change this one to "Show us your S&W Model 15s and 67s".

Dammit, that’s about are about the only K-frame I don’t have a copy of. I’ll have to fix that.

My brother lives in Flower Mound.

I’m in Benbrook, and it’s getting too crowded for me. If I weren’t near retirement, or could persuade the wife to downsize (ha!), I’d be outta here.

I didn't know how fond I am of my Model 15 until I started this thread. I have now added a second. I also never thought at all about the Model 67, but now I'm looking for one of those as well. I should have bought one back in the day when they were cheap, but that train left the station a long time ago.

I've always thought of myself as a .44 and .45 guy, but lately I've found a new love for .38s and .357s.

And you're right, it is much too crowded around here. As soon as my son is out of high school in a few years, I'm going to try to escape.

Here's one of mine, Tx...this M-67-1 has the Louisville KY Police shield on the left side...with a butter smooth DA trigger and Smith's usual superb SA, it's one of my favorites. I especially like the 'pencil' bbl. as opposed to the heavy one on my M-66. The grips, BTW, are Altamont's version of Roper Targets done in walnut. For moderate loads, I find they're very comfortable. I found this one in excellent condition in a small town pawn shop for $600 six months ago.

One of two "Best loads" to date is Lyman's 358091 WC, cast from ACWW's and sized to 0.358" with 3.5 gr of Bullseye. If I'm having a good 'eyes' day, it'll do less than 2" at 25 yds from a rested position. I've chrono'd this combination at 744 fps.

The other is Lyman's SWC 358156 GC, but without the GC, which does equally well with 4.0 gr of Bullseye at a chrono'd 846 fps. DA, from 12 yds with a modified Weaver Stance, I've kept many a cylinder full under 3/4"...a ragged hole. This is my favored load for its accuracy, smack and ease of loading with a speed loader.
Best regards, Rod

That was a good find for that price! I am definitely on the hunt for a 67 now, but I suspect I won't find that nice of a deal.

I've been loading up a bunch of commercial WCs lately, cast and plated, over only 3.0gr of Bullseye. Mostly to "get rid" of them since I've also acquired several different new to me WC molds from the swap forum here.

I should definitely try stepping it up a bit. I am confident that a WC at 846 fps will solve a lot more problems that some people with magnumitis might admit!

Yes it is Rob, thank you.
No mod 15 in my safe either.

Rodfac, those Altamonts do look great on your slick little 67-1. Sorry for Louisville but glad for you.

TXTad, I’m in hearty agreement that a 38 wadcutter at about 850-900 fps is a great problem solver.

These old K-frames are as good as it gets for a revolver that can be both a tool and a toy. Sort of like the old farm dog that’s wagging with the kids in the backyard but turns to fangs when the uninvited show up.

We definitely need a Like button on this forum!

What is your load?

In the speed-loaders are the Saeco-Redding 028 bullets, 147 grain RN designed for the 38 Super. It is a very accurate bullet. The charge was 3.0 grains of Promo.

I finally recently joined the 67 club with a 67-1 that I didn't realize was cut for moon clips until after I "won" the GunBroker auction. I haven't gotten any yet, but I think I'll give them a try. Meanwhile, it worked fine without them.





I also recently got another 15-3 that seems unfired, or nearly so, and a pretty nice no-dash 67 from the first year or two and has the stainless rear sight. No pictures yet...

Had to come back for another look!
Some nice revolvers, thank everyone for sharing.

My M67, and my M60. The M67 is my house gun and the M60 is my outdoors gun. Both fun to shoot, and the wife and daughter can handle the M67 easily.
