Police Trade-in 640s at Centerfire

Saw a '1 In Stock' pop up earlier this morning, better believe I jumped on it!

Can't wait to get it in and see how she shoots! :)

Just got the word- mine has shipped!
Has yours shipped?

Even though I attached a copy of my FFL's license when I ordered they came back with a email saying I needed to send them a copy. So I sent them a reply to that email with a copy and also sent one to the email they said takes the copies. Finally got another email saying thanks for the FFL so hopefully I will get a shipping notice soon. Not too worried since I made sure I snagged mine BEFORE I let the rest of you guys know.:D

Same here. Attached FFL copy to their order page link, but apparently didn't "take".
Had to e-mail it to them. They replied immediately.
 
I'm already thinking ahead to what kind of grips I want for mine.

Maybe I'll just start out with magnas and a shiny Tyler-T since I have them in my box-o-grips.
 
S&W 640-1 Police Trade In at Centerfire

I actually work across the street from Centerfire and picked one up yesterday. The one's that were in the shop, 12 to 15 of them were all 640-1. Most had the factory grips (Uncle Mike's) a few had pachmayr, said that they had one with wood grips that sold earlier in the morning . I looked through them all and picked what I thought showed the least wear and original grips. Can't wait to get to the range. I asked and they didn't know where/what department they came from. As usual most wear looked to be holster/carry wear.
 
I ordered some hogue bantam grips for mine. I thought I had some in a drawer but remembered that I sold them with another gun. I have gotten pretty good at bead blasting, so I am going to do it to this one. I have blasted about 12 guns so far. I will post before and after pictures.
 
The Glock Store / Transfers

Ok guys... I've been looking at getting a 640 Pro someday, but would like to have a steel frame to mimic my 642 for practice. Here in San Diego, I haven't found a dealer who will do the transfer for less than $45. Would this still be a decent deal for a steel frame snub at $370? Seems like it to me but I'm not up to speed on the aftermarket. Actually, I might be out of luck anyway if it's not still on the safe gun roster.
I understand The Glock Store in San Diego does transfers for
$15. Are you close?
 
Quick question to all. Do you believe these will have been used lightly as far as round count? Hopefully mine won't be out of time or need any tuning as I plan to shoot magnums through it. After all, I didn't buy it to shoot 38's only through it. Last question, do you all recommend 158, 140 grain over 125's as far as wear on the gun is concerned? Thanks in advance
 
I received my shipping notice today as well so figure by Monday, with my work schedule and holiday, I should have it in my hands.

I almost bought a PD trade in 640 earlier in the year from a dealer in state but he had a 649 that called my name instead.

When I saw these I noted there were 2 left and said to myself that if there is one left when I wake up then I am pulling the plug. When I woke up in the afternoon there was one there and that was after the postings about them being sold out.

HOW COULD I IGNORE KARMA SENDING ME THIS MESSAGE?

Wanted to take a minute to THANK JohnRippert for posting the information here!!! It is much appreciated.
