Model 649 & 649-3 Photo Thread

[ogilvyspecial]

Let's see some of those stainless "humpbacks" out there.

Here's my M649-3 that I happened upon last year at a local gun shop (LGS)
while looking for a blued "humpback." When I read on the tag a fair asking price,
as well as "box & papers," and noticed that this gun had a forged hammer & trigger,
I was hooked............

The only thing I've done to mine, besides shooting & carrying it,
was to remove the large, clothes gripping, rubber grips that came on it
and installed something a little more carry friendly........

When the J Frame .357 Magnum M649-3 was introduced in 1996 S&W was just starting
to use the MIM parts so only the earlier 649-3's have forged hammer's & trigger's.......

I found my model 649 no dash two years ago at a local gun shop. it gets the most time at the range, when I go out to practice.

A 649 with a NULL VAM driving holster. I use my 649 for range practice too.

Daily Carry 649

Here is my daily carry 649. I carry it along with a Glock 26.

Yep, the pre-lock magnum 649 and 640's are awesome guns and rather hard to find.

Ogy...

I have said it before and I will say it again...I love that 649!
I do have one question...will the empties clear those grips? Again, that is one nice revolver.

Thanks Rapidray!
It's one of my favorites, that's for sure...

I haven't tried messing with it since I put those grips on, which just happened.

Last Friday I picked up a M649 that I have to take apart & clean up and after I
get it done am planning to take 'em both out and shoot 'em at the same time.

The M649-3 fills a slot in my carry rotation where it's generally used during
the daytime in conjunction with another gun, whether it's the back-up, or something
else is, changes up. Because of this (2 revo's) I usually don't bother carrying any
spare ammo so reloading capabilities are kind of low on what I want a set of grips
on that particular gun to be good at.

All of my "night time carry guns" have Crimson Trace Grips on them......

Here's mine. Found it at my LGS when I went in to buy a beat up Model 60. It was only $50.00 more than the beater Model 60.

It's wearing CT 105 grips and a Mepro tritium front sight now. Not quite as sexy, but beauty is as beauty does, or something like that

I hear ya Hawk.
All of my guns get grips based on the role they will play and since
they ain't movie stars their roles are a little different.

Something happened over the last couple of years where now I see beauty in
functionality. If they happen to be wood all the better, if plastic or rubber, so be it.......

Nice mag ya got there!!

Cylinder and Slide?...

What all did C&S do to your 649. I love the brass bead. How well do you like it? I an used to them on 6 inch guns. I like it a lot!
