Model 64 at the Range

Very nice! I have a 3" 64 that I bought new in 1983, some day I'd like a 4" to go with it.

I have this nice 3" 65 (top) and an old/home modified M10 GB 4". Gotta love these revolvers. 4329-a1b5-492aacdb9f30_zps29b3e26b.jpg

I have a 4" m64, and a 4" m10-6 , both of them police trade-in revolvers.
They both shoot very well, nice triggers too.

Funny thing, the m64 will give me 100fps more velocity over the m10, with the same ammo.

My M64:

Those barrels look awfully short to me, but the groups don't appear to lie based on the first post. I love a nice smooth trigger, in some cases used is a perk!

Very nice! I love a good K-Frame.

Stainless steel is a bit slicker for bullets all else being equal.

Nice shooting.

I bought a Model 64 pencil barrel back in 1974. Wish I still owned it.

I got out today for a couple hours with my 4 inch 64-3. I bought this gun used a little over 3 years ago. With 158gr ammo this gun will put holes exactly where you hold the sights. The trigger is well broken in with a very smooth double action pull. ...

Very nice!

Hard to go wrong with a S&W K-Frame. Were you shooting the Model 64 with the original wood stocks or the Pachmayr grips?

I bought an unfired pencil barrel 64 a few years ago, but didn't keep it in that condition. With the original magnas and a Tyler T-Grip it is one of those guns that just feel right. Other than the T-grip the only modification was a little nail polish on the front sight.

Pretty much the pinnacle of carry , defense and home defense revolvers. If that were the only gun one could own, one could do much worse.

I don't currently own a 4" 64. I had mine engraved and gifted it to a retiring Officer.

But....
I own a 2" 64
Two 3" 65's
A 4" 65
A 4" HB 10
And, an engraved 4" skinny barrel model 10 that my Officers gave me when I retired.

Amongst a few other K frames.

Yeah...I think very highly of the K Frame. In .22....38 and, .357.

Mine is every bit as accurate as you've all said. I had it out last week while I was letting my daughter's English friend shoot a few guns (since he's never touched anything but an airgun). It was his favorite between some 22's and a 1911, I think. I made one shot while showing them how to hold the gun and I hit the exact center of a target identical to the OP's from 10 yards. I immediately stopped and handed them the gun. No reason to let them think I might do anything less.

Purchased my 64 as police surplus at Southern Ohio Guns. Excellent condition and came with the Pachmayr grips. I just checked; Still available; $319 for the 4 inch model. Darn you all for enticing me to the site again, though. They've got a Star BM for $219....I've always wondered what those were like.
