Smith & Wesson Model 15-8

Here's some pictures so @Glock 'em down can say he's seen a round butt Model 15. :bolt:

It doesn't have the classic lines of the Combat Masterpiece, but it is a Model 15. I like the late 90's Smiths for range/carry use. They have most of the modern design improvements without the lock. The MIM parts really don't bother me. I'm considering sending this one off for a Black Nitride+ finish at some point.

I didn't realize the model 15 was reborn with a handfull of others. All the newer versions have round butts.

The -8 was the last of the line before they discontinued it (the first time.)

That gun is just sexy!!!

The sights on those are big and easy to see. And those little six-guns are easy to shoot too.

Have you gotten the black nitride coating before? I’m interested in getting it done myself.

I have not. I got a quote from H&M a few months ago, but decided that the model 10 I was going to send them needed more work before refinishing.

The only bad thing about the K frames, is the sights. Fixed or adj, you almost always gotta get your wife or daughter's toenail polish and paint that front sight. Because a black on black sight picture sucks!

I was fine with black on black sights. Still am for slow target shooting. Then I hit 40’s and it’s not useful to me except target shooting in good light... my wife took me to buy my first nail polish

Sir Mix-a-lot rapped about it decades ago... Where were you?
