I'm about to tell you about the best 38+p targeting revolver I've ever shot...

[rpg0123]

Ready? Current production model 67 4" 38+p from Smith and Wesson. The factory uncle mike's rubber grips are tremendous for this gun. The factory red ramp is great. The smoothness of the action lives up to the S&W rep. The targeting is so good with this thing with a high quality 38+p hollow point bullet it is unbelievable. Proof that S&W is still the king of the revolver industry no doubt. Buy one. You won't regret it.

Best - current Model 67 w/+P

Congratulations - any pix of gun, targets or ammo recommendations?

Thanks for the heads-up.

I liked the +P win supreme elite out of it. I've used win supreme elite in 38+p and 40 S&W and always been very pleased with low recoil, low flash, great accuracy and reliability. Ballistics and terminal behavior are supposed to be good with this ammo line too.

Model 67

I have had one of these in my hands at least a half a dozen times. I always pass thinking "i will just shoot .38's out of my 4in 686." But i really want a nice smooth revolver chambered for .38 and your post may just cause me to grab one. Just curious, do you have a .357 thatt you also shoot .38's out of??

I have a 4" model 19. I do use 38 for targeting in it, but it achieves better accuracy with a higher performance bullet, especially the Rem Golden Saber in 357 mag. The 4" model 19 is very nice looking with a near mint blue finish, and it performs great. I will tell you though that the 4" model 67 shot a little better, probably due to decreased recoil of 38+p compared to 357. I don't believe I've ever shot as good of a pattern as I did today with the 67 and the win +p supreme elite combo. And, I was really impressed with the weight of the gun, the grips, the sighting. I'm not kidding when I say it felt perfect to me. The big advantage to the 67 over the 686 is that it is going to be lighter and more "nimble" in the hand, not as bulky of a barrel, etc.

Congratulations on the purchase as the Model 67 is a great handgun.

I have a recent production Model 67 as well, and I couldn't agree more. I don't usually like rubber grips on revolvers but the grips that come installed on recent 4" K Frames are very functional. I can tolerate the looks of rubber on stainless guns.
