How rare is the 3" model 64? I've got one that I've had for probably 10 years that I really don't do much with at all. I never thought it was anything special. At least not compared to the frenzy over 3" 66's.Originally Posted by Wheeler

I don't believe the 3" 66 was ever a production model, and was only distributor specials, while the 3" 64 was a catalog item that probably lived in the shadow of the 3" 65. But the 3" 64 is still plenty cool.
Gotcha
Tempted, but I already have a pristine (except for the aftermarket grips) pencil-barreled Model 10-7 I don't shoot.

These are beaters (compared to what you have) so there's a reason to buy one.
Yes, I'm enabling.
And stainless, so they'll be good in humid/sweaty environments.

To some degree.
I don't know what exact stainless alloy S&W uses but I bet it's a 400 series which is hardenable through heat treat and martensitic; and not as rust resistant as austenitic stainless like the 200 and 300 series. Both my stainless revolvers show evidence of rust (pitting) from previous owners.

Stain-less, not stain-no.

LOL good one. Never thought of it that way.
If I do I'll be sure to post up a picture or twenty.
