Nothing wrong with current production 63s although I haven't bought one since my 63-4 five inch several years ago. Only issue that you might want to consider is whether a 617 might serve you better. If you want the smaller J frame, no problem. I just find the K frames easier to shoot and for target/plinking and the larger size is a benefit not a hindrance, for me anyway. Either way you'll likely be very happy with either a 63 or 617 whether you find an older one or current production. Good luck.
