3" Saturday

This is actually a LadySmith with aftermarket grips. I bought it used. The previous owner had an action job done on it and it is smooth. These also had a matt finish from the factory. It has been polished. The "LadySmith" logo is still visible on the other side of the frame, but barely so.
This probably hurt resale value, but I got it at a good price and it functions perfectly.

Have a few revolvers that fit within the OP specifications... 
S&W 60-Pro with CT-305 laser grip:
S&W 65 with Pachmayr grip:
S&W Governor:
And last but not least (?), the NAA Earl with interchangeable .22LR/.22WMR cylinders... The only pic I have of it seems to be in this "family" pic of snub revolvers... The Earl is the one on the bottom right -- it's meant as a reduced-size repro of an 1860 cap-and-ball Remington:

This is my only 3” revolver. I would like to add a 3” Ruger SP101 in .327 to the collection.

Batman would have been so much cooler if he'd have double fisted a couple of these. I call Bob Crane he agree's.... lol

These are some absolutely fantastic examples of 3" revolvers everyone, thanks for sharing them!
For those of you who are curious the .22 shorts I shot out of my Diamondback Sidekick weighed 29 grains and averaged 567 fps velocity. Thus producing a jaw dropping 21 ft/lbs of energy, and an afternoon of plinking fun for the whole family.

I took my 3" kframe s&w for an atv ride back to the creek.
Two crappie(very unusual) and a sunfish on my ultralight.
And my s&w went along for the ride

Like @Targa, I got one of the sleeper 3-inchers, and it's actually become one of my favorite carry/knockaround revolvers.
I do have a beater Model 13, it's just rough, a dream is to find a 3" Model 13 unfired in the box someday.
Still kicking myself for off-loading a pristine 3" Model 36 during the period in which I was stupidly shedding all my J-frames... (except the Model 63, of course).

Off-topic, but I still love fishing for panfish on a ultralight rig with 4 pound test line. Growing up, yellow perch, bluegills and pumpkinseeds all day long...

My idea of a perfect day, and the way I grew up. Grandpa had an Astra 22 that I believe was 3" in the tackle box. So even though it wasn't mine the fishing gun was a 3". Now I carry a 3" sp101 when down at the river here in town...

I have a few 3 inch barrel revolvers. Model 60 in .38 special, a model 60 in .357 and a Model 65, also in .357. That one, and the .38 are DAO.
