Lost one of my favorites

[340pd]

Son in from TX for the holidays and I brought him to the range the day before Christmas to choose which revolver would suit him best as a "house gun".

I grabbed a S&W 640 which I like for its all steel construction, simplicity, and it's concealability along with a Mod. 64 with a 3" barrel which is singly one of the easiest firearms to point and shoot I have ever held.

He left with the 3" Mod.64 but I suspect I will also bring him the 640 when I visit him in Feb.

This is a good excuse for me to order one each of the new Mod 66 & 69's with a 2-3/4" barrels that S&W is introducing.

Absolutely! I have a nice S&W Model 60 Pro I like.

Odd you mention that gun as it was the Christmas present I gave to my daughter last year.

340pd, you cheapskate!
Real true love calls for a 1967 Colt Python.

I never warmed up to the stacking trigger of the Colt revolver lineup.

Or the "backwards cylinder release" or the reverse rotation of the cylinder....Smith is the real deal....Colt was a wannabee.

After feeling the triggers on some of the newer Smith's, I don't think there's room to complain about Colt's. They feel gritty and about 15 lbs.

Well, there always the Smython (or, if you prefer, Smolt) option :

340, I was messing with you, the point was that the pythons are in the $3k and up range.
I have 2 S&W's love 'em both...
It was very generous of you to gift them.

downtown, I thought your were going to send me a Python? What happened.
