Any Model 67 fans out there?

Only problem with a nice 67 will be paying for/loading all the ammo you're likely to put through it!

A bit of Model 67 history

My 67 no dash was manufactured in 1972. See thread #12. 1972 was the 1st year the stainless version of the "Model 15" was manufactured and was so designated the "Model 67". The "Model 15" dates back to 1957. The pre model 15, the same gun without the model designation called the "K-38 Combat Masterpiece" was 1st produced in 1947. Interestingly the Blued or Nickel finish Model 15 stopped production in 1999 but the stainless Model 67 lives on and is available brand new today at a store near you

I guess being sort of an old school guy I think the Model 67 and Model 15 are two of the all time great S&W revolvers.

+1....I just wrote basically the same thing in the other "67-1" thread! My pre-Model 15 K-38 Combat Masterpiece (circa 1952) is the cornerstone of my collection. It was my great-uncle's police service revolver that he handed down to my father in the mid 60s. It was the first handgun I ever shot, and it is still the most accurate revolver in my collection. I added my 67-1 about 6 months ago and it is just as amazing!!

I bought a set of CHP (not obliterated OHB) Models 67 and 68. Smoothest and mostfuntoshoot revolvers I own. My daughter and I shot paper plates and party baloons at 40 yards....hitting most of the times. Paid 800 for the pair, they were owned by the Armorer. Maybe he gave them special care

I bought this LE trade in for $200 7-8 years ago. My wife traded the brand new 642-1 I bought for her for this. Lucky they live in the same safe. Joe

67-1 to the range

I just got back from my first trip to the range with my 67-1. What a sweet pistol. Looks great, felt great and shot great. RAN PERFECTLY. Truly an extraordinary piece of mechanical art. It is obvious that the previous owners took very good care of it - reportedly a LEO's private weapon.

I just can not figure out why I was shooting it better double action than single action. Must continue to investigate.

I've had my 67 for over 10 yrs..... one of the best weapons I've ever owned.... I second many of the comments stated above...

 

[johns961]

I have had a 67-1 since 1981. Many guns have come and gone from my stash since then. The 67 is still here. Hard to go wrong when you think you have found near perfection in a revolver.

John!

Took off the wood furniture to prevent any damage and replaced with Houge....feels pretty darn nice.

Hard to believe she was made in 1971 and still looks this good. She's aged nicely.

I am a fan of the model 67 also. I own two 67 no dash with the full stainless sights and one(Pictured below)also a 67 no dash with the black sights:

The K-38 evolved with the times. Take a solid platform for accuracy and dependablity and improve on it.

There was a reason the largest Sheriff's Department in the world issued the 67. But, I think you found that out already.

If you want the 6 inch version, look for the Model 68. Only built for the CHP.

I have both nickle and blue 15's and a 67 is on my list of K frame guns to have.

I am almost certain that Model 68s were also made for LAPD.

The 67 is a modern classic and the no dash with stainless steel sights are the most desired by collectors. My favorite one though is the 67-3 with the round butt and heavier barrel. The dash 3s are the last ones before the MIM parts I believe. Great revolvers all.
