I've got 3-inch versions of the 64-7 and 65-6 (the 64 with the infamous internal lock). Bought new and I had to order them. I have 13-3 in 3-inch and nickeled that I picked up used - it's in very good condition. Yes, I love the fixed sight K-frames. I would love to have 4-inch versions of the...

I inherited my granddads old nickeled .38 Special tonight. It's what became a model 10. Nickel plated (somewhat), 5-screw frame, very pitted 4-inch pinned pencil barrel, old (original?) wood grips. The problem is that it was stored in a leather holster for a very long time. Lots of pitting...

They're going to hold it back (as in back room) for me until Monday (2 days from this post). I am assuming that no box or other accessories are with it. It has Pachmayr grips on it (not the Compac ones I'll be getting to replace them). That may explain the price(?). Hey bamabiker - I'd love...

My local dealer got a nickeled 3-inch Mod 13-3 in on trade. I've been offered first dibs on it. The finish looks almost perfect with only very superficial scratches - the kind I should be able to hand polish out. Crown looks perfect, forcing cone doesn't show any erosion that I can see, and...

I understand the frustration. In my case, my dealer NEVER stocks the revolvers I like - K and L frames with 3-4 inch barrels and (usually) fixed sights. I HAVE to order and hope that everything shows up OK. It does virtually all the time, but now I can never be sure which barrel type would...

Well, HECK!!!!!!! I just got another email from the same guy at S&W. He corrected himself saying that they are (currently) manufactured with two-piece barrels. Yet another part of a really mixed up puzzle.

For what it is worth.... Smith & Wesson contacted me and they say that production is now one-piece on both the M10 (always was one-piece) and the M64 (was one-piece, then two-piece, now one-piece, again). I was contacted by Davidson's (seeing how they show 4 M64's in stock) and they say all of...

Hmmm!?! I sent a question off to S&W about this very thing. Anticipating a purchase of a M64 and/or M10. I was assured that current production is one-piece. Years ago, I had heard about these going to 2-piece and secured a remaining one-piece barreled model. I know this because they...

Wow! Now, it gets strange. I finally got a reply back from S&W, and they said they are currently one-piece. When I got my 3-inch 64 several years ago, I specified one-piece because I had read that 2-piece barrels were going to be implemented through-out the line. The first they shipped was a...

Do either of these models utilize the newer 2-piece barrel design, or are they still the traditional one-peice design? My dealer isn't sure, and I haven't gotten an answer from S&W yet.

Hello. I just got here, myself. I currently own 2 S&Ws, and anticipate more soon. I'm over in PG.

I'll throw in. A Model 13 nickel, 3 or 4 inch. I saw one in the dealers case maybe 20 years ago (4-inch). I passed. Youthful ignorance (stupidity). By the time I caught the bug for these, they were all gone. I guess I can always hope for a Like-new to Never-fired specimen to show up for...

I currently own a M65 w/o internal lock and a M64 w/internal lock - both 3-inch models, no issues with either. I'm thinking very seriously about getting a M10 and another M64 - this time 4-inch barrels on both (I think that's all that is offered). I'm looking into buying new (current...

Hello! I am gettting back into revolver shooting (and collecting) and thought it time to join this forum. I've done a lot of semi-auto shooting over that last couple of years, but find I miss the revolvers. I have many Rugers (I used to moderate at Ruger forum) and 2 S&Ws - a M65 3-inch...
