    I have a 4" Lawman that belongs to my father. It shoots very, very well.

    I just acquired a S&W Model 64. When it arrives next week I can compare both after a range session.

From my research these were 38 Special revolvers built between 1969-1972 on Colt J Frame 357 Magnum Lawman frames. The Colt MK III Metropolitan was marketed to police departments that did not want the ability to chamber or fire 357 magnum ammunition. Because of this the Metropolitan was not a success and relatively few were manufactured. In spite of this it was approved for duty use by the NYPD along with the S&W Model 10 and Dan Wesson Model 12.

    I was able to get this 1970 manufactured example for $365 shipped and picked it up from my FFL this morning. It has some holster wear on the barrel but is in excellent condition overall. The DA trigger is like pulling a finger through warm butter. I can't wait to take a closer look at it tonight when I get home.

    I remember it well. But back then this lad pined for the Lawman version in .357 because in 72 (8th grade) it was all about .357. 😎
