Picked up a 649 today as I have been wanting a small snub nose 38 for a while. looks new with the 1 7/8" barrel. Plan on using it as a small carry in some places

I will try later this evening to do some photo's
Can not find to much on this pistol thats like this one.
I look in the blue book and wonder about it.
The 1 7/8 barrel in the 649 says it was only made in 1998.
And it being in 38 s&w spl and not the 357.
all the other ones that look like it are the 638 but this has the small style square butt.
It is marked 649-2 with the ser # BRS
I do not think it has been fired and came with a bucheimer concel leather holster.
He said he has one that looks just like it in blue also I can have but really can not say much about it untill I see it and look at the model # and barrel and the such to see what it really is. my guess it is a older one.
Man thats a small grip!
fun stuff

I have two .38 Special 649s, one a 649-2.
Both wear Uncle Mike's rubber boot grips.
I find them to conceal well in a pocket holster and make recoil more manageable.
If yours doesn't have Uncle Mike's grips it might be worth finding some.
I have shot my guns at distances from three to 50 yards. Don't believe folks who say short .38s won't work past a car length.

I think the Model 649 is one of the greatest snubbies of all time. Hard to beat the stainless steel construction, J frame size, and that shrouded hammer design. I really like the Rogers Combat grips, as they give me a good purchase on the grip right out of the holster, and also point on target very naturally for me.

it does have the rubber grips on it but do not see a maker on them and have not taken them off to see under them. Nice grips also.
i have lots of reloads but will go down and pick up some hp's today for it and might even ccw it today and see what its like. i guess we need a ccw weapon for every occasion LOL

Here's a 649-5 post lock with a Wolff Spring Kit that is so smooootthhhh. This one is in the 357 magnum flavor. This one came stock with the Uncle Mike's grips shown.
