S&W 640-1 Photos Let's See Them!

Here's an image of my 640-1 with XS Big Dot that I had "melted" at Smith & Wesson and an image of my 640 (no dash) with a pair of stag grips mounted on it.

What more can I say?

Less than an hour ago I was checking out a no dash 640 at the LGS. He had it listed as a truck gun, and they had it soaked in oil.

It only had one little spot on the cylinder that couldn't have been polished out, but the action felt like it was full of dirt or rust, the cylinder release was stiff and made grinding noises too.

Price was $245, but I passed on the fear of what I'd find inside.

Very nice... If you don't mind me asking how much did S&W charge for that "Melt" job?

I've got a factory ported 640-1 with a XS big dot, CT Laser grips and Apex duty/carry kit in it and I would love to get it melted. [emoji854]

The total cost for all of the work that I had done was approximately $300.00. That included mounting my Big Dot Sight, Melting the 640, and recrowning it.

The way I like project guns I probably would have offered a couple hundred just so I could see what was inside.

This is an old shot of my 640-1 that I let get away from me. Still kicking myself.

I have a beautiful Tulipwood Hogue mono grip that I acquired from a good friend, days before he passed. Found a home for them at the Queen Creek gun show near Phoenix.

Thank you sir, may I have another?

Love my 640-1.

Shipped in April 1995. The first handgun I ever bought.

I bought mine from an LGS a few months back - it came with a correctly-labeled cardboard box. But ... it needed quite a bit of polishing to bring it up to snuff. I suspect it's a police trade-in - the folks at the shop were evasive when I asked where it came from. Is there a block range of serial numbers for the police trade-ins?

Any info on the grips? They kinda look like Altamonts, but I really like the subdued finish.
