Yea, those new guns like that 64 are pretty decent, but not quite as nice as these middle aged ones like this. Don't let the "new" grips fool you. It was made in 1947.
This one isn't a Smith & Wesson, but still looks pretty good for being made before WWII (1939). Still shoots just fine too.
I never had a 64. I'd always purchased K-frame magnums. Then ran 38's through them and scrubbed rings out of cylinders.
Then I ran across the J&G ad for the trade in 64's that they had for sale. I purchased one. Finest gun money I ever spent! The trigger is as good.....or better.....than my Performance Center revolvers.
Accurate little tack driver. Good looking too! No ugly MIM parts. Flash chromed hammer and trigger. I love my J&G 64. Enjoy yours !!
The crane my gun binds just a tad when trying to close the cylinder from full open. I switched screws from to back and lubed the heck out of it. But still does it....any suggestions? Buy new screws from midway/brownells? Or file one of these down a tad?(not very experienced smithing with guns beyond normal field stripping)
