Cheap 64's on Gun Broker

The NYPD NY-1 64's are way cool, I would not feel like you overpaid for one of those:) Like was said above, these are duty guns not single action Bullseye guns..........DAO is just fine, and even though I am far from an expert handgun shooter I am able to do some great target work with all of my DAO revolvers.

I'm happy I scored a 64-8, I wanted the latest model of the 64 to go along with my 64-7 security trade in.........I may have to see if I can swing a 64-6 before they run out of these.

I've no real problem with shooting DAO revolvers, the thing is I enjoy S/A equally, or more, and a bobbed hammer on a revolver just doesn't seem "right" to me. It's purely personal preference but not a deal breaker by any means. I'm still excited for it to arrive! And am sure it'll make a perfectly serviceable truck/house gun, whichever role I choose for it. The hammer will stick in my mind though until I either "fix" it or find a way to swing one of these 64's from SOS on my limited income...the gears are turning...:)
 
I noticed those 64's have been ticking down on the auction, one day it was like 60 left, and today it's like 35:)

I'm tempted to go for a 2nd one but honestly it would be hard for me to justify right now.....with a 64-3, -7, and soon a -8 in the collection..........not to mention the pile of trade in Ruger .38 and .357's........I can't try to talk myself into "another shooter" hahaha

Speaking of NYPD DAO .38's, this Ruger GPNY is one of my favorites and the lack of a SA feature doesn't keep the gun from shooting ragged holes at 25 yards.

Well, I saw my $209 M64 today. BNZ dates it mid 1993, 64-5. I selected the square butt wood grip one. Color me impressed, immaculate condition. Not a scratch, dent or ding on it. Very slight cylinder ring. The finish looks like brand new only aged 18 years. The grips look like they were taken off the day the gun was originally purchased and reinstalled for resale. Absolutely no wear. There is no question this gun did not spend day in day out in someones holster. I'm guessing it lived in someones drawer for 18 years.

Mine's Here - WOW WOW WOW

2-Day Fedex, mine arrived this morning. To say that I'm pleased would be a gross understatement.

I had phoned Ryan with my request for a no-lock RB. This one is a -5, with what I believe are MIM hammer and trigger. No biggie there, as it does have the hammer nose firing pin. Locks up tight as a tick.

With old cop guns, there's always a chance of getting Barney Fife's that fell out of his holster every time he climbed in or out of his 62 Ford patrol car. Not so with this one. Agency markings were cut into the butt of the grip, none on the gun itself.

A few minor scratches on the bottom of the trigger guard is all I see. Expected state of police cleanliness, or lack thereof. I field stripped it immediately and its on my bench soaking in Kroil. Threw the scrungy goodyears in my junk grip box.

Plan is to do do a clean and polish, light action job, and find a set of RB Magnas. A polished T-Grip adapter would finish things off.

And now....the images please!

There were 38 of them in stock at noon, now the listing is closed with none available? Damnit, I took to long to talk myself into it!
 
I was just gonna say, the listing just closed........either someone called and just bought the rest of them, he's gonna relist them for a different price because all of the -4's are gone, or he's gonna seperate them by features or condition........who knows.
 
I couldn't resist after watching this since Sunday, I ordered at around 5:00 EST today and that left 33 available.Now it shows the listing ended....strange...maybe someone did clean him out?
 
Just took a look at their website. The Model 64's are now $249.00 with a limited supply.

I was just about to post a set of Coke Bottle grips I had for sale to fund one of the 64's. Oh well...such is life.

I have to call him today to pay for my 64-8, I'll ask him what happened to the 64's:)

I was tempted to try for a 64-6, maybe not now.......probably better off, I have other things that need $200 spent on them:eek:
 
All, I heard from Ryan this morning and the 64's are sold out but he said a new batch was on the way. He did not give an ETA but said it was a done deal and they would be available soon.

I was told the same thing when I emailed him, a large batch of 64's is coming in soon.

I hope there's more 10's too.
 
model 64-5 from SOSS

just finished rehabbing my 64-5 I purchased from SOSS on gun-broker, after a complete stripping, cleaning, bead blast I did myself and replacing the hand due to a carry-up issue I think it's a pretty decent shooter, like everyone else I junked the rubber grips, now what to replace them with............

I know this thread has been dormant a few weeks, but looks like I should have jumped on the band wagon while it while it was still in town.

I've gone to their website and on GB several times now..'NADA'.

Guess we can keep our fingers crossed and a sharp eye out on their site.
