My perfect revolver

[prescobd]

Here is a picture of my favorite revolver, a model 64-6 with "pencil" barrel.

Mod 10-6

My Mod 10-6 HB is close to perfect.

I have an old security guard trade-in 64-5 with a heavy 4" barrel. Rough exterior, but it is a superb shooter. I love fixed sight guns.

While I don't own one, I think a 3" Model 65 would be almost "perfect".

Until I hunt one down, my 3" 60-15 will have to do, albeit one round shy.

Didn't know 64 came with pencil barrel. Actually never thought of it. Only ever seen model 10 like that. Is that a newer cylinder release?

Nothing better than the pencil barrel. . .my favorite. I've got the old stainless 38 in a 4 inch barrel that I bought new back in 1980. You couldn't find the stainless guns back then. Unfortunately, mine has the giant heavy barrel which I hate; but, back then, when you saw a stainless Smith, you bought it.

I have seen a couple of those posted over the years.. Can't say as I disagree with you.

It is a later production gun, a couple dashes back, that I had an older standard/pencil barrel installed. K frame perfection, stainless, round butt and now the slimmer tapered barrel.

The 64 standard barrel was a Grail gun for me until
I got it. It was poorly constructed and it has gone to another home.

Funny thing, discussing K frames and perfect guns. I think of my 2" Model 10s as perfect. However, my 4" Model 10, standard* barrel, worn nickel, marked Wells Fargo, is such a perfectly accurate shooter it is hard to gainsay that revolver as being perfect. It's an amazing weapon.

I have 64s, too, they happen to heavy barrels, and I have an incredible M10 HB in .357 Magnum, but that old Wells Fargo gun is really something. Perfect. I guess....

*Some folks will whip you with a wet noodle if you say "pencil" barreled. Jus' sayin'...

Well Precso mine is close an old Model of 1905.

I know that, that's why in put it in quotations.

Here is my Model 64-5 with tapered barrel. I had the factory install the barrel for me and really like this configuration.

And BDGreens got speed loaders with 'em ready to go!

Mod 64 in the standard barrel configuration ...

... I know the magnas are older than the gun but I'm old too and like the way it looks.

Not to take away from the classic K frame theme of this thread, but it would have to be one of these.

I have a 2" snub nose with a pencil barrel.

 

[GeorgeD]

As far as I know my perfect doesn't exist. It would be a 4" Performance Center 686+ with a full lug barrel!

 

[DevilDog72]

I carry a Mdl 19-4, beautiful..... what I want is a Mdl. 25 .45acp snub like...

 

[Lee's Landing Billy]

I take great comfort in my 4 inch skinny brl, round butt, stag and Tyler T Gripped, model 12.

Never seen a "New Frame" M64 with the pencil barrel. Most, if not all, I've seen were no-dashes.
