It has arrived - Smith 64 'Airweight' Custom, Semi-Fitzed Snubby

[TheShootist1894]

The conversion with this barrel isn't a simple one, modification to the barrel and frame were necessary. Both the barrel shoulder and face of the frame were moved to get the barrel cylinder gap set at what, iirc, was about .006"

Thanks for enjoying it guys

Thanks, Shootist! I needed that!

 

[watsonrg]

Yeah, but even numbered Chiefs are the best!



Exactly why I had him do that - having all that quality work done and not personalizing it just didn't seem quite right to me.

Tomorrow I shoot it!

Range report?

Are you pleased with the result?

 

[ISCS Yoda]

Range report delayed. Stay tuned!

 

[snubbyfan]

That is a little cutie.

I'll keep it short...that's cool!

Finally something cool on here. I've seen enough stock grail guns to last me a lifetime. Nice to see something different and well done. Thanks for showing.

I agree with this. I know we all have different interests, but this gun just screams pride in ownership and usability. I get tired of seeing plain old stock, never fired guns too Zipdog.

I split the difference. I love seeing really nice examples of production guns AND custom guns like this one. All good!

Congrats on the nice custom M64. Great looking revolver!

 

[SLT223]

Yep, that is pretty neat. Great job bringing a good old gun back to life!

 

[Pointblank2U]

That's really nice.

That is Sweeeeet. A great conversion into a very nice carry piece. I have a NY1/Brinks 2" DAO 64 that I really like. It only needed some lighter springs and grips to be a great carry revolver. The 64 is hard to beat for concealed carry. Small enough to carry well, and just big enough to shoot well.
Enjoy that Jem.

Thanks Bob R. It's in an OWB on my belt right now and if the shirt I am wearing over it didn't press on it I'd never notice it was there. "Great carry revolver" is correct!

 

[rwt1405]

I can only imagine what a great carry weapon that is! Congrats and may it offer you years of "comfort" on your belt!
