My daughter is getting older and will leave the nest before long. She said recently that when she was old enough and had her own place she would probably want one of my handguns. She used to shoot with me quite a bit and is a pretty good shot. After several discussions and thinking about it, her goal was to eventually highjack one of my treasured classic 38/357 revolvers.
Using my super heroic Dad Abilities, I headed her off at the pass and bought this law enforcement turn-in Model 64-5. I know she likes a K-frame, and I happened to have a spare set of Herret Target grips in my "box o 'grips". (She is 6'2" and has large hands.)
I was successful. She likes the Model 64 very much and will be happy to take possession of it one day. Before long we will test it out at the range and make sure it works properly. When she's old enough and asks for it, it's hers. Until then I will keep it company and give it a little bit of exercise sometimes.
It's been carried a lot, and I would guess it was shot with some regularity, though it still locks up nice and tight. The trigger is very good. We'll take it to the range soon and see what kind of ammo it likes.
