The Model 65 is the stainless steel version of the Model 13, featuring fixed sights and heavy barrel construction. The thumb piece is the lever on the left side of the frame that releases the cylinder latch, allowing the cylinder to swing out for loading and unloading. This is the old style design used in earlier production Model 65 revolvers.
About the K Frame Model 65:
The K Frame is Smith & Wesson's medium-sized revolver frame, known for its versatility and balance. The Model 65 was introduced in 1972 as a stainless steel .357 Magnum service revolver with fixed sights, designed for law enforcement duty use. It offers the power of .357 Magnum in a manageable medium-frame package with corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction.
Condition:
This is a used factory assembly removed from a Smith & Wesson K Frame Model 65 revolver. Both the thumb piece and nut have been inspected and are in good working condition with normal wear consistent with use. The stainless steel finish shows typical handling marks. Used parts offer an economical solution for repairs and restorations while maintaining OEM quality and fit.
Installation:
Professional gunsmith installation is recommended for proper fitting and function. The thumb piece and nut require proper installation to ensure reliable cylinder release operation. Knowledge of Smith & Wesson revolver mechanisms is helpful for installation.
