I just came back home from walking my dogs in the public park across the street from my house. I had my 640 Pro in my light jacket pocket for the trip. As I have said before several times; IMHO, the 640 Pro has everything one needs in a small self defense revolver and nothing that one doesn't need. I think that this handgun is one of the best ever produced by S&W.

There was a 632 pro series produced for a while in .327 magnum.
Very scarce, very expensive!

I don't haves a Pro model, but never been unhappy with a regular 640, dates to 1996. I no longer have the 40 or the 940, but the 640 is still one of my favorites.

FWIW, I have a 642 and a 640 pro. I carry both depending on my mood.
I find they’re both great as a pocket gun. I always use a holster : either a Desamtis Nemesis or more recently, a Don Hume.
The 640 pro shoots and feels a lot more substantial. I love the sights and the ability to use 357 magnum rounds.
The 642 gets the nod in thinner pants, and in warmer weather when I’m wearing shorts.
Otherwise, in jeans and thicker khakis, the 640 pro is an easy pocket carry. I also like having 357 mag for hiking duty.
Great gun. There’s several other cool guns that can play the same role, but I really like the Centennial feel and form. Going between the 642 and the 640 pro is easy, same ergonomics, same holsters, same speed loaders.
A good friend once told me some great advice: Get the Gun you want.
It’s always going to be the one you want regardless of how you convince yourself that another one is superior because of some features or whatnot.
It’s true for me at least. I know what gun I really want. It’s up to me to allow myself to go get it.
