How common is the Model 63 with factory 2 inch barrel?
What is a reasonable price on one?

Model 63 2"

The 2" variation is pretty rare...I have only seen 3 of them...last one I had brought $750 to a collector no questions asked...I have seen 2 variations....regular with wood grips and Lew Horton that came with rubber grips...hope this helps...

Bought this one for $389 at a pawn shop. I don't think he knew what he had, and I wasn't going to tell him.

Sold one in pristine condition on GunBroker a couple years ago --- it lasted about 15 minutes before someone snapped it up at the "Buy It Now" price of $600...

Saw one for $650, rubber grips about 4 months ago at a TX gun show.

I bought my 2" 63-3 new in 1995. I don't think it had anything to do with Lew Horton but it had rubber grips, Uncle Mike's I believe.

Thanks for the input, all.
Looks like a pretty rare and expensive piece.

I guess I'll just press on with my old 2" Model 34 and continue being extra careful how I carry canoeing.

Yea, that's the one. I have carried mine in the woods for many years while I'm loafing in the sunshine. This year I bought some S&W stocks for it to wear for awhile.

They are neat little guns. Unlike the later 317 they are much easier to shoot due to the extra weight. I found mine a few years back for $325. It came with the Hogues pictured below.

Great guns

Great little guns. I have a 63 and a 651, both 2 inch with adjustable sights and I put Badger finger-groove grips on them. They are exactly the same only one in 22LR and one in 22Mag and I wouldn't part with either one!
