S&W mdl.64

[vrichard]

I had these mdl.64 for a long time.
the top one has been shot 5 rounds
the others are still a virgin. ( factory fired only)

Nice selection of 64s. I think the 3" round butt is my favorite.

a 3in.64 with a pinned barrel.

Dick, those are terrific. Thanks for sharing them with us.

You have a habit of bringing things out of hiding that dazzle the eyes.

I really like the skinny barrel and snub nose, but I couldn't resist shooting them.

I stupidly helped a retired asst Chief sell his model 64 standard (pencil) barrel. I should have grabbed it myself.
I only have one which was a former police duty gun. It's been done over like the factory "combat revolver package". Shown with its model 10 cousin also done over after living a hard life in a police holster now is bead blasted blue.

Glad to see members are coming around and using the term "pencil barrel"!

The 3" model 64s started late in the -3 era, past the time of pinned barrels, and I too have never seen one. Easy enough to create one if you have the parts and equipment though.

Dick, why not six? It is a six shooter.

Thanks for sharing

I've always thought the standard barrel 64's are really nice.

 

[dobegrant]

Very nice group there

 

[mk70ss]

How can you have all those great 64's and not shoot them??

 

[two-bit cowboy]

Oh, I understand completely.

Please continue to enjoy them your way, Dick.

The same reason my Brother in Law does not shoot the mint Colt Detective Special I gave him.

You know how expensive bullets are?

I have one of the short stubby ones at the bottom of the pic. Haven't fired in about 40+ years

On the other hand, I have one of the 3" RBs and shoot it frequently. Even carry it on occasion!

I have to say I don't get the term "pencil barrel". What's it got to do with pencils? Are tapered barrel Model 15's "pencil barrels"?

I'm not opposed to it, just don't get it. But if you use that you might as well call magazines "clips". But I don't mind that either.
