A buddy of mine's dad has a 3" 64 he hasn't shot in years that he's looking to sell to make his next car payment. The pawn shops and guns shops offered him woefully less than $200. He called me up to come over on an unrelated issue. While I was there he asked if I had an extra $200 and I did real well in the market this last week and unfortunately told him I did. So out came the revolver.
It's mint, the bore is reflective and he can't remember the last time he shot it, it times perfectly, the trigger is great but....It's only a .38 special. I love S&W revolvers or have come to anyways. I had been stashing away my loose change to guiltlessly buy a Model 10 4" after awhile. For $200 I can't really go wrong, at worst it'll end up a safe queen or truck gun(which I have been looking for a permanent truck gun other than my Norinco Tokarev in 7.62x25).
But it's only a .38 with a 3" barrel and the gun is bigger than my Rossi 2" .357 magnum which I shoot regurarly. I have a 15-3 4" that I got for $200 and it is a good gun but with it's size and caliber I have plenty of other guns to shoot and I hold onto it because it just isn't worth trying to resell and might as well collect dust in my safe waiting for the days I have kids.
I don't really need another gun, I have a Ruger SP101 3" .357 magnum and my two Rossis, so I'm covered on snub noses. I've got M19s so I've got good S&W revolvers along with the 15-3.
Can the 64 +P 3" .38 special find a niche, can with it's caliber still be a powerful and reliable firearm. Can it push a 158 grain JHP at 900fps on a regular basis without severe wear and tear after a short time. Is there a good IWB holster that I can wear comfortably.
