Thinking abouta 67-1

[45NUTT]

Opinions? I only have 9 S&W revolvers and need to even it out to 10. I have 2 - 19's, 2 36-1's (B & N), 1 - 36, 1 K-22, 1 - K-38 14, 1 - K-38 CM, DA 4th model 32.

I'm looking at a 4" nickel 67-1. So what do y'all think is a good price to be looking for in this regard? Anything to be aware of in this model?

Thanks a bunch!

A M67 is a stainless steel revolver.

The

Model 67 “K-38 Combat Masterpiece Stainless”

is the same gun as the Model 15, except that it was made with stainless steel; it's not nickel. I love K-frames so, sure, add it to your collection!

Thanks, I was wondering because of the "6" but the one I'm eyeing sure looks like nickel. Stainless is good also!

Some shooters elect to polish their stainless revolvers to a nickel-like luster. I prefer the factory finish, but that’s just me.

I can't imagine you'll hate it. A K frame in .38 w/ the forgiving stainless finish... If the price is right, who says no? Heck I'd love to have one too just for grins. Would look great in anybody's collection!

Buy one and post pictures! (Sorry, we're the worst enablers out there).

Good guns, I've had one for close to fifty years. But it doesn't do anything that other guns in your collection already have covered.

I sold mine like a fool 20 years ago, but I replaced it with a nice Model 65-5, three-inch, round butt. I own a Model 15-4 bought in 1981. I don't think you can go wrong with a model 67 in good shape. K-frames are my favorites.

A Model 67 is on my “buy on sight” list. Buy that thing. Depending on condition $700 and down would have me thinking.

Figured I show this one for sale at a small gun shop down the road. Early no dash with stainless finish rear sight. Has a little rash on the butt including the frame but other than that pretty nice shape. It would look good with one of my sets of Guy Hogues. I was surprised to find it was shipped late 1972 or so.

Hard to go wrong with a 67! Everything the 15 is and more. This one, a dash 2, is in factory-new condition, vintage of April 1972. Best .38 Special K-frame revolver around.

I'll have to check my SCoSW - I didn't know Model 67s came with six-inch barrels. And that finish has to be polished stainless - like JackM, I dislike polished stainless. Just remember, to most collectors of older guns, that devalues them considerably. For example, I bought this no-dash Model 67 with no stocks for just $300 because it looked like a 1960s car bumper; I then paid my gunsmith $115 to go over it completely and restore the brushed stainless finish.

They didn't. The OP was referring to the "6" in M67.

The M68 was a special order 6" stainless .38 special for the CA Highway Patrol. The LAPD also bought some.
