Model 67

[B_Still]

a LGS has a Model 67 in the used counter with no dash number on it and a hammer-mounted firing pin (hammer nose). In great shape (externally at least) but the price seems to low at under $350. "too good to be true"?

It has a strange (to me) attachment on the trigger shoe with polymer wings to widen the trigger. is that what they mean by a "target trigger"?

the DA trigger pull is very nice. Much better than the Model 65 I had for a few months last year.

Buy it. If there are any problems with it contact me and I will buy it from you. A trigger shoe is a trigger shoe. A target trigger is one piece and wider appropriately .375" wide.

Live a little, spend the money.

The model 67 is one of my favs. Very very nice revolver.

I'd get all light-headed and woozly if I saw a Model 67 for 350 bones.

Buy that thing.

I would take a chance, buy it, and take the trigger shoe off. If the gun is in good condition, that would be an outstanding buy. Trigger shoes have been known to snag while reholstering.

BUY IT. Get rid of the shoe, otherwise most things are fixable especially with stainless guns. You refinish their appearance way easier!

Better get it quick!! It won't be there long at that price. Good luck.

Here is my model 67 no dash. Bought it ten years ago or so. It had pits
and scratches, so I had a local smith bead blast it. I like the result. The
stocks are Spegel designed, made by Butler Creek, and marketed by Uncle
Mike.

The Myres model 624 is it's favorite holster, with both a retention strap
and a dog ear. The silver dollar belt buckle is my birth year (1935).

All good advice above. Get the pistol.

I think it would be worth taking a chance on. Go for it!

What's the old saying about getting what you pay for? Sorry, folks, but I do wonder why people urge others to purchase something at a suspicious $ w/o the detailed inspection due a used revolver. Timing, headspace, endshake... the list goes on. This inspection procedure has been detailed on this forum.

When I told him to buy it, I said if he had problems with it I would buy it from him. I can get all of that fixed plus a professional action job for $200.

So that's $350, plus an additional $200. The gun then costs, in effect, $550. Sorry, but I'm not spending $350 on a 'pig in a poke' to spend $200 more to make it right. YMMV.

I would be on it like a Duck on a June bug at that price.

Just sayin!

Me too, Charlie!

I agree. I'm no revolver gunsmith and while those technical terms sound familiar, I'm still learning exactly what they mean. But I'm comfortable enough with my own albeit-casual inspection based on a number of online video tutorials. (Gunblue490 and Brownell, primarily).

Another big factor is that I trust this store where I've bought several handguns over the past few years. And at this price I'm willing to take a chance.

It's not just right, it will be a laser.
Some of the best deals I have ever made other were afraid of.
That $200 gets me.
All internals polished
DA & SA trigger pull optimized
Chambers cleaned, polished, throat corrected and numbered.
Internal trigger stop.
Timing corrected if needed.
Forcing cone set to 11 degrees.
Head space and cylinder cap corrected if needed.
Barrel re-crowned.
All by one of the best pistolsmiths in the country.

Here she is. They assumed it was a police turn-in, but maybe not?:
- no explicit police markings, unless the frame stampings are indicative of a police armory?
- it's a no-dash. wasn't the Dash-1 used more by police for the improved sights?
- would a LEO add a trigger shoe?

I think I'll remove the trigger shoe first thing.

Nice. I like the matte stainless look.

Is that orange paint on the front sight? My old eyes will need more contrast on the front sight. Wonder if the rear sight can be replaced with the blued rear sight from the Dash-1?

$550 is still at least $100 - 200 less than I've seen lately. Jus' sayin"....

Oh, my, $350 is a STEAL!
Paint? probably. You should be able to scrape it off easily if you don't like it.
Sight change? Yes. Be sure to keep the original so you can return it to the gun in the unlikely event that you decide to sell it down the road. You could also save the $ and just paint whatever glares with flat black model paint (or flat black nail polish if you can find it.)

 

[RGNewell]

Don't paint the rear sight. I'll trade you a black sight if you must have it.

It;s not orange paint. I had the smith that did the bead blast
also cut the notch and inserted the red front sight. And I don't
know why I would want to replace the rear sight with blued?

 

[CHARLIE699]

Nice early "no-dash"
This one is a little earlier, a 3K (first year production)

Another vote for losing the trigger shoe & leaving original stainless sight alone. Use a little sight-black when you shoot. Cleans right off with no alteration.

,,,,,still l@@king for that 66 no-dash,,,,

 

[Green Frog]

I bought a Model 66 ND almost 40 years ago during a big round of police trade-ins. Typical 4" with stainless front and rear sights. Back then, these were regarded as "surplus guns" so I rebuilt it (by just selective parts matching) and used it for several years, then had a 6" barrel installed. Several years later it became the basis for "Project 616." The price way back then was about $189, IIRC, so $350 today sounds more than reasonable. Put my name down after that of RGNewell if you decide you don't like it! But you won't make that decision, I bet!
