I’m an enabler. If I hadn’t just bought a 2” 64 as a project, I’d buy one of these.Originally Posted by spinmove_

Does anyone know what the difference in the second number means (the 3, the 5, and the 6)? I did a little digging earlier today, but I couldn't find anything other than forum pages from other sites. The threes have a pinned barrel apparently?
They all have the same barrel length, so my gut reaction of it referring to a barrel was not right.
There’s a new shipment and all the junkies are gonna get well. Where have I heard that before ;-)
The -# is how S&W used to indicate design/engineering updates. They would move a blast shield, delete a screw, or barrel pin, and that would be indicated by a new -#.
Any of them would be fine shooters, and I am tempted.
This is what I've found:
64 no dash 1970
64-1 1972- Heavy barrel introduced
64-2 1977- Gas ring change
64-3 1977- Gas ring change on 4"
64-4 1988- New yoke retention
64-5 1988- Hammer nose bushing and yoke retention on Heavy barrel
64-6 1998- MIM hammer, floating firing pin, internal change
64-7 2002- Key lock
64-8 2004- 2 piece barrel

I bought two of the ones that Southern Ohio sold late in `17, so I'll pass.
They are fine guns.

These are law enforcement trade-ins from overseas. Anyone have enough experience with those to guess if/how these may be marked?
I'm having delusions of getting one of those done up like DB did with the HiTS Defensive Revolver
