I may be speaking out of turn here, but I dearly love a 3” barrel K frame revolver. I'm an old LEO and always carried a 3” barreled model 66 for years and years. I shot many LEO pistol matches using my 3” in the compact carry class. In my opinion the 3” guns are perfectly balanced and handle extremely well.

I would jump at the chance to get that 3” model 64. I'm in the middle Georgia area and any 3” barreled Smith is a rare find.

In addition, I cut-my-teeth on fixed sighted K frames. That's all my Dept used way back when. I have no problems with them and I'm even a little partial to the fixed sight.
