Here's one of the 478 2" RB K frame NY-1 Model 64's from 1993 that was shipped to and sold from the NYPD Equipment section at 1 Police Plaza. The S&W 5946 is pre MIM and a amazing example of the quality and craftsmanship S&W produced, This example has SW0059 laser etched on the dust shroud, This was done by the S&W Factory and is lettered by Roy Jinks as one of the original testing and evaluation guns that was shipped to the NYPD Rodmans Neck Outdoor Range January 1993, The NYPD Transitioned over to Semi-Automatic Pistols in August of 1993. It is wearing a custom textured set of Factory straight back grips and a factory lanyard loop attachment.

The trigger pull is heavy due the extra power mainspring that was installed as per spec in the NY-1 60's, I changed mine back to a standard mainspring and it makes a huge difference. Does this happen to be the one that was being sold with no grips on sidegig. P.S. You still need a 640-2 on your to find list to round out your collection.

I think I will change it out at some point

Yes this is the no grips gun, same seller had the 3" Ruger

I keep an eye on things over there (I thought I had a hidden honey hole

). However not being a MOS or even live in NY it adds to the challenge. All part of the fun I suppose. I looked for this gun for years.

I forgot about that 640-2 one more for the list. Slowly but surely filling in the holes.

If I can fill the collection it will be unique I think

One thing on the Ruger Sixes, they have the star stamp and the speed has what look like a check mark stamped next to the star. I havent seen mention of that before, any insight?

The only NYPD guns I'd collect would have to be .357.

With saying that, your collection is impressive.

murphydog · Apr 7, 2013

I don't think any .357 was NYPD authorized? I understand Big Boku should know the answer for certain.

You are correct, NYSP is another story

BigBoku · Apr 8, 2013

Wheel can you post a picture of the inspection mark for me. I will keep an eye out for your lists of wants, Like with the last 3 NY-1 model 60's I came across, I tend to pass on them or send the info to guys looking nowadays as I have owned everyone several times over in the last 20 years.

I own a model 5946 and a model 640 carried both on patrol in the NYPD.
Both guns have performed flawless. I carry the 640 mostly and some of my newer stuff.

wheelgun28 · Apr 8, 2013

This is the markings on the Speed Six.

I understand the star to be a NYPD acceptance mark?

The check mark I havent seen any reference to before.

If you find any items for filling in my spots I would be very grateful!!

Thank You!

I've never seen a 3 inch SB 64 NY-1. I wonder if Louie has.

I just found my receipt for the 2" S&W chief I purchased in 1967 from the NYPD equipment bureau. Ready for this, it cost $43. I purchased my S&W Model 10 heavy barrel service revolver in 1966 & I believe it was the same price. Still looking for that receipt.

Mike, I have never seen one because of the 5 variations of NY-1 guns that was not one offered. The model 60 NY-1 of course and then 4 variations of the NY-1 Model 64's. The most common is the 4" square butt (approx 2,469) followed by the 4" round butt (approx 932) then the 3" round butt (approx 612) and the rarest being the 2" round butt (approx 478).

Yes, the star is the NYPD inspection mark, the check is most likely a Ruger inspection mark for factory work.

Thanks for the info Louie, now I can stop looking for the 3 inch SB.

A guy from Mass, "RKelly?" had a RB 4inch 64, I should have grabbed it. He also was recently selling a 640-2, as you were awhile back, should have jumped on either of those too.

As you probably know, that extra-power mainspring is closely related to serious functional problems, so if you intend to shoot that thing, or even dry-fire it, it would probably be good to swap it out sooner than later. Bob Vivas had a fairly complete discussion of the issues here some years back.

stantheman86 · Apr 10, 2013

I've got a GPNY that shoots like a laser and I would love to add a NYPD 64 4". I would also love to find a NYPD Service Six.

The NYPD never authorized any .357's.

To complete your collection you would have to start with the first issued wheelgun of the NYPD, the 1862 Colt Pocket Police .36 and work upward

vipermd · Apr 11, 2013

Congrats! I missed it!! over there.

Rkelly is a great guy and a Boston Brother, I actually grabbed a 4" RB for our favorite FFL holders best friend a few months back, had box and everything. I will keep my eyes open for you Mike.

This is correct, the extra power mainspring made the size of the hammer stud (hammer pin) hole in the sideplate more critical. If you notice on the OPs picture the silhouette inspection stamping is on the yoke cut out which means it passed the inspection with a go no go gauge to ensure the side plate hammer stud hole was within specification. I posted pictures of the go no go gauge and the actual NY-1 and Silhouette dies used to stamp the guns at the range awhile back. Ultimately all the guns were removed from service.
