Are they worth it?

My local pawn shop has two model 64 corrections trade ins for $300 each. The lockup seems good. What say you?

 

[jrs70]

That is a ok price. I would pick out the best one. I have 2 64's.

As long as they check out, I don't think you can go wrong on those. They are made by Smith and Wesson, they will shoot when you pull the trigger, and they are no longer made. A bunch of people like them. You probably can sell them for as much or more if you want. I would buy them. The grips suck, but you can find nice replacements.

If I could find them around here for $300.00, I might buy both of them.

same here, it's hard to beat a stainless steel K-frame

I say hell yes. Fine revolver for a fair price.

 

[hedge313]

I only have enough for one, and they have a 65-2 in good condition also. Which would you buy?

How much less do you think a pre-lock shooter grade S&W should sell for?

 

[Maximumbob54]

Why haven't you bought them both already???

 

[hedge313]

Here is the 65-2 for $450

 

[hedge313]

I am torn between saving up for the 65 or buy the 64 now.

 

[firemanhank]

Buy the 65-2. It is pinned and recessed and a great gun to shoot and carry. I can't tell from the pic but if its a 3 inch barrel, I would skip the other two and buy the 65-2. It is by far the better gun and will retain its value long term. I have a couple of em and I love them!!
Just my opinion.

[hedge313]

I love the recessed cylinder! I think I am going to try to deal on the 65-2. I will let you guys know what happens. Thanks for your help!

 

[Maximumbob54]

Time for a small bank loan I think...

 

[Camster]

I don't know why they should be priced any less.....and if they were 25 less,what difference would it really make??

 

[Hapworth]

All comes down to mechanical condition, I say. 4" heavy barreled K-frames are the cat's pajamas, .38 or .357.

I don't place a premium on .357 capability when there's a .38 load for every occasion out there, from nice little cream puff match wadcutters to mid-level .357 numbers making Buffalo Bore Heavy LSWHPs, and everything in between, more of it, easier to find and generally less expensive than .357.

If either of those 64s is mechanically sound, $300 is about the best price you're going to find anywhere these days. I'm not sure the 65 is worth the extra $150 that could go to ammo and range time.

If you're seriously in the market, I'd run thorough mechanical checks and leave with whichever one had the best specs.

 

[JohnRippert]

The 65 looks like a 4in so I say go for the best 64. Better deal at $300 than the 65 at $450.

 

[fjtiii]

I'd at least buy the 64.

 

[bananaman]

I would have to say go for the better 64. My 64-3 is good looking, and a pleasure to shoot! Accurate too. I don't have a K frame .357, or have the need for 1. There are L's, and N's for that dept. Post pics of your results! Bob

 

[CajunBass]

I'd go for the 64, simply because over the years I've found I almost never fire 357 ammo. To me the extra cost of the gun could go toward other stuff.
