Model 64 questions opinion

[sac-gunslinger]

jd67- in response to your comment... I must agree with you regarding a 64 for everyday carry; that's a beast of a gun to conceal. And it's heavy.

I had to carry a 4" M64 under a suit coast for a while for a specific assignment. It was heavy but, more than that, bulky.

I am not a fan of shoulder holsters.

I carried a four-inch M-64 in a Bianchi Shadow holster, under a short uniform jacket, the "Ike" style jacket.


It didn't seem bulky and concealed quite well.


Keep in mind that this is a service revolver, not primarily a concealed carry gun. But FBI and many detectives wore guns that size. The right holster makes a great deal of difference.

I once worked a Presidential protective detail with an OSI agent who wore his M-15 in a holster that created a bad bulge under his coat.

I have two 64's. One a 5 with a 4 in barrel, and the other a 2 with a snubbie face. As others have stated here, the action on the 64 is often truly outstanding. I have a model 10 snubbie, but the action is a bit different, and I can't put my finger on it (pun absolutely intended). The gun you're looking at sounds like a nice choice with an excellent price point. I would have noooo problem paying that price for the gun you describe. Keep in mind that even with all the 64's and 10's which have been made over the years, these guns hold their value really well. I recently sold a 4 inch 64, from 1993, which I'd owned only a few months... and I got $80 more than what I'd shelled out. The beauty of the K-frame. Here's a pretty good youtube vid on revolver inspection... [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMOGVWB-QHw[/ame] .... good luck!

Yeah Back in the day I carried one for years on and off duty. A bit
big for concealed carry at first, but after awhile it fits. Still have one and they are great 64-3 4"

Oddly enough I was in another local shop with a non dao 64 in the case also for $300. Alas no blued steel to be found. If either of these had been a blued gun I would already own them. Have a couple days off next week so may be time to finally buy something !
