Well, the email did say it has a lifetime warranty so I doubt I'll send it in unless I start getting problems. As far as added value, all I can do is take the steps to give it a chance. I wasn't thinking it would add value anytime soon or even in my lifetime. Heck, I hope my kids, grandkids, or...

Welcome from a fellow Huntsvillian!

I've pretty much decided to keep it as is. It gives it a unique look and appeal, in my eyes. I'm just going to print the email and put it with the paperwork for the gun.

I got a response from S&W this morning and while I'm not sure I'm going to send it in, it's nice to know I have that option. The email reads as follows: Dear Customer, I looked up your serial number and you do in fact have the Pro Series model. It looks like the firearm left without the...

I've been known to carry my Ruger SR22 on occasion but not for EDC. My EDC was my Springfield XD40 until I got my Model 640. :D

I shot off an email to CS about this. I'll update as I can so that it may help someone in the future.

That would be too easy. :rolleyes:

I checked the case for my 640 when I got home yesterday and it had a SKU of 178044. This is consistent with the Pro Series SKU. I'm puzzled.

Most everything I read about the trigger is that it's about 12lbs and having it taken to around 8lbs is perfect. That being said, I don't mind the trigger on mine. It's smooth and it's for carry. Having it a little heavy just means it'll only fire when you really want it. An insurance policy if...

I bought a Model 640 .357 this past Saturday. My very first revolver and very first S&W.

I was thinking the same thing. It makes it a rare gun. Maybe if my grandkids (when I have some in the distant future) ever decide to get rid of it, it will be worth more. Who knows.

I'm not sure of the box saying anything but I'll check when I get home from work later. I know the price was in line with the Pro Series. My buddy pointed something out about missing the caliber markings. He said he would probably look into getting the markings put on since they make the .327...

I just picked up a Model 640-1 in .357 on Saturday. My first S&W and also my first revolver. I noticed that it seemed to be missing normal/standard markings/stamps. It has all features of the Pro Series which is what I wanted (i.e. fluted barrel, night sights, no internal lock, recess for moon...

Just wanted to say hello and that I'm a new S&W owner.
