Well they finally seem to be shipping! Anybody try one yet?? ;-)>

Thought I might just update this thread... seems this model is now OFF the Crimson Trace website... 404 FILE NOT FOUND???? Anyone here know the scoop? I submitted an inquiry to CT via their website but have not heard back as yet.

I am on the horns of a dilemma! I am currently trying to decide between the 686+ PC and the 640 Pro.... It would be a winter carry, OWB pancake at 4 o'clock most likely... The 640 offers the option of coat pocket carry which i believe the bulk of the 686 would preclude. The 640 also benefits...

How about adding another variable? What do you imagine the effects of a ported snubbie fired from a pocket would be? Cajun-Blacked knuckles??? :confused:

!!!URGENT!!! ? really...??

I am looking at a M 640 in .38 spl. only with a serial number of BKN4084. I thought I would asked our Best and Brightest if there was way to tell the age? Also, these are +P rated correct? Many thanks! (and sorry about the Nixon reference... ) DOC

So they struck down the ban on high capacity soda containers? (sorry... couldn't resist)

LOVE those! Can i ask how much? The Colt site has a manufacturing year database by serial number if you want to find the exact year... Colt Firearm Serial Number Lookup - Year of Manufacture Enjoy!!!

Thank you both! I appreciate you taking the time to reply! I seem to have acquired a 90's era 640 itch that i need to scratch! :rolleyes:

So... let me ask you this. What would you pay for a VERY clean example of a .38 spl 640 no dash, early 90's? $400? $500? 6???

Does this also take moon clips for ACP?

for a few dollars more... You seem like a magnum guy, let me direct your attention to the 640 Pro... about 200 more than the 642--but a solid .357 delivery platform.... Grabagun.com Smith and Wesson 640 Pro 2.125 inch 357 Stainless Moon NS Online Gun Store

Cool review! Thanks for sharing it with us! Question: What are the "spots" on the frame near the cylinder release? They are very visible on your third photo... almost like a splash of bleach on denim? I have seen them on some photographs of the Gov, but not all. BTW-- Hornady just...

Thank you for the advice--While I wasn't aware of the issue with 442's of this era, I did check that actually, out of habit... I have a beautiful old Model 19 (my 15th birthday present ;-) and there is a similar weak point if a steady diet of full house .357 magnums are run through it. As she...

Much obliged! Thanks for taking the time to share your advice!
