Sorry I posted this in the wrong forum. Still the conclusion that the Steyr M-A1 is an great gun holds.
I went to my first gun show yesterday and I don't think I'm going to find a .38 with a 4 inch barrel there used. At least one in a condition I'd be confident shooting.
So now I'm looking at what S&W is currently selling and I'm finding little if any difference in the Model 64 and 67. A rear adjustable sight in the 67 is all I can see. Neither have a fiber optic front sight or even the option to install one.
For good or bad S&W is it for revolvers and if they are no longer interested in building guns in .38 caliber in anything other than snub nose than that 9mm Steyr M-A1 is looking very good.
