I did it, I finally went postal and got my 3 inch USPS Speed Six! Haha
I was in the middle of discussing selling my Security Six to a fellow member when a USPS model came up for sale. I talked to the seller and he was willing to hold onto it for me so that sealed the deal. It got to my FFL today and I love it already. It came with the box and manual too but I'll have to get it lettered soon. Has a little bit of holster wear but overall it's in great shape. Still gotta test it out but I have no worries there.
I noticed this before but I thought maybe it was just the picture angles. The barrel profile is completely different than it is on my 3 inch Service Six. The slope on the PS model is more aggressive and the barrel comes out from the lug further while the GF-33 is more melded together. I've seen PS models with both types of barrels but all the GF-33s and NYCPD 3 inch models I've seen have the same barrel as my GF-33. I'm wondering if they changed it or if maybe they just cut some 4 inch barrels down to 3 inch to fill the contract. I'm guessing they just changed it but who knows? I guess we can designate them the sharp 3 inch and the smooth 3 inch.
