Enjoy yours, the 649 is a great gun!

My first S&W was a Model 49 that I bought in 1980. I love that gun, but when the 649-2 came out in .357 I had to have one. I bought mine in the 1990s and it has been my most carried gun ever since. It came with Uncle Mikes rubber combat stocks that are just perfect for me and they do a good job absorbing recoil when shooting .357. If something ever happens to it (like giving it to my son), then I'm getting another one.
