I love my 63 with the 4 inch barrel. I shoot it a lot and it is the perfect twin to my 631 with 4 inch barrel. Cheaper to shoot 22 instead of 32. PM me if you are interested in selling. Post some pictures here, I do not know if yours has the adjustable rear sight or not.

All the Model 63's have adjustable rear sights. S&W made a Model 317 that had either fixed sights (2" barrel) or adjustable sights (3 inch barrel).

SCSW 2nd Ed. says 500 made for Lew Hortons in '89 under product code 102405.

1991 - 2in w/RB became standard production.

Don't have the book handy here but I believe the 2" was made into the very early 2000s. I bought one around then at closeout pricing. They're very nice, but like all 2" barrel guns, the sight radius doesn't help accuracy a whole lot.
