Default Range Report: S&W m64-3

Here's a range report of a gun that must be haunted by the ghosts of Smith and Wesson. My new-to-me S&W m64-3:







This little short barreled revolver is easily one of my most accurate wheelies. I shot this one better than my 6" barreled S&W m66 and 6" Security Sixes. I mean look:

Well done! I have to ask, was it rusted at all?
I am starting in a SS 65-5 that suffered a surprising amount of surface rust.

No, mine was in great condition. It was a little scuffed up but a little Flitz fixed that right up.

I am thoroughly jealous. I really dig those grips too. Three inch barreled K frames (64s or 65s) don't show up too often near me, and when they do, the sellers usually want an arm and leg for them.
