Thanks DeMilled! Will be over at gunbroker and others this eve looking at M64 and M10.I had owned my GP100 and SP101 for about four years when I came across some police trade in S&W M64s, I bought three and gave one each to my Mom and sister, kept one for my household.
My wife loves shooting it, her 14 yr old boy likes to think it's "his" and I have spent a lot of time playing around shooting my inexpensive lead hollow point reloads.
The M64 and M10, in my opinion, are probably the most over looked revolvers for the average household.
EX, if you have a household that likes going shooting with you but does not care for the full house 357 out of a GP100 the S&W M10, or M64 should get a good hard look from you!
My wife likes my GP100 but only shoots a few rounds out of it before her wrists get tired. I have the 6" barrel with full underlug so it's no surprise.
She will shoot the M64 until we are out of ammo for the day.
But again, just how snappy is a .44 mag from a wheel gun? How much more oomph would be felt over the .357? I handle full boat .357s with no problem at all. But everything bigger than that in my possession is in a semi that absorbs much of the recoil.
Just curious...
