Model 640 with unknown ported barrel

[GT_80]

Have an odd one (to me)

Model 640 no dash, has a replacement barrel that is ported. My internet search came up with it may be a Weigand Hybra-port barrel?

The latch looks weird to me as well. Smooth action, tight lockup, and that barrel…

What is it? I think I MAY have gotten a gem for a steal…

I think I found out what it is…

Smith and Wesson 640 Weigand 4PJ Executive package

Not sure if that is the exact model but that is Weigands logo on it so they did the porting.

Pretty nice.

Not really practical and I don’t think the porting will provide any real benefit in a self defense situation or range session. BUT, as a collector piece that is a unique find, Wiegand has been out of business for a while ya?

I think they still sell rails for pistols, and scope rings, but I read that Weigand retired. It’s a cool piece of history. I don’t often find these types of guns so I’m happy to have it

Cool find!

I would really be interested in seeing some night shots of that thing setting off some of the Cor-Bon rounds from the article!

Hey, not my cup of tea. But cool custom work done by a reputable company with verification, so if you got a deal , great buy. So congrats.

6 benjies- I think it was fair, if you account for inflation, the custom work alone would be more than that today. The current S&W 640 pro is nine fifty, and custom stuff often costs more. I bet this would be over a grand if you bought a new 640 and sent it out for a new barrel, portion, polish job, crane detent, polished trigger face, etc.

It’s not that practical, but being a custom gun, it’s my first. I’m happy.
