640 Pro??

[1/7GRUNT]

S&W has had these on their website for a while now but I have seen nothing on any forums about one. Anyone bought, held, even seen any?
I could do without the sights on a Jframe but I was wondering what anyone else thought.
Thanks

I haven't seen any local. I've seen a few on the Forum so they are out there. Are those three dot sights or just a black rear and night sight front?

Several members have posted pictures recently.

You can also find them on GunBroker.com.

I think they had been anticipated for about two years. I'm glad that they are finally out.

I am pretty sure both front and rear sights are night sights.

Love mine. Very accurate and the night sights are perfect. I haven't had a chance to shoot any .357 out of it and i am not in a big rush to do so.

640 Pro night sights

Yep, big 3 dot niight sights. Easy to pick up and dead on point of aim with the loads i have fired so far.

I picked up mine today after almost a year of waiting. Hope to shoot it this weekend. Also note, no lock!

Wow. That is a gun with some real potential. I like those sights!

Does it have a shrouded barrel?

Nope, barrel is 1 piece.

Oh man those pics are nice, I may have to inquire with my LGS. For some reason I thought it had the finish like a 642, kinda matte stainless. I love the finish tho!

I payed $650 for the 640 in stock, and $709 for the 632-2 (.327) that I special ordered.

Is the trigger any smoother/lighter than the box stock 640? I have seen some used 640s lately for decent prices locally, and with the pinned front sight I am considering getting oneand adding an XS regular dot on the front and having the rear u notched to have a sight picture like the nightguard series

I have no issue with the rear notch as designed and put a Trijicon front sight on...

I found the trigger on mine to be real good for a J frame out of the box. It was very smooth.
The other nice thing about it is its cut for moon clips so i keep a couple loaded in the safe and just drop them in and out when i want to carry somewhere and then putit back in the safe.
Its a great little gun for the money- i paid $629 plus tax.

Man...
Nice revolver!

I thought my next would be a 340M&P...
but that stainless steel j-frame with dovetailed night sights on it!

Get it beadblasted, load it with Buffalo Bore .38+P LSWCHP (158gr), put it in a nice IWB holster....

Thanks for sharing!

Curious. Could you shoot 9mm since its cut for moon clips? Or will they sit too deep still? Also, will a 9mm case even fit into the cylinder on these?
