    S&W 640 Pro Series

    Could not resist trading my seldom used Kahr T9 for a new S&W 640 Pro.
    The Pro is cut for moon clips, has a polished trigger, no lock and Trijicon night sights.
    Since j-frames are popular with my CCW students I decided to up my revolver skill level and the Pro looks like a great little gun.
    I already have more moon clips, CT LG-405 laser grips, AIWB holster, Apex trigger kit, speedloaders and other goodies coming.
    Probably won't be my carry gun very often, but I can see it being my occasional ankle BUG and CCW Match range toy.

    Very cool, looking forward to hearing more on this. Been thinking of getting one, but have never actually seen one in person. On the S&W website the under under lug looks not very well blended into the frame.



    How does yours compare?

    I've been dancing around a 642/442 for about a year now. I know I want one, I just can't convince myself I NEED one.

    My buddy has a 642 and it's a challenge to shoot, but I've only shot it a couple times. I feel that it would be the perfect pocket carry/center console gun.

    I have a Scandium/titatium 360 Airlite.
    Talk about tough to shoot.
    A 12oz. .357mag is like holding a wildcat by the balls.

    ...And asking it to turn it's head and cough.


    I have a 360PD. I've shot it with magnums twice, anything more than that makes you a masochist.

    I shot the 1st run of the TI .38 J-Frames when I was in law school at the S&W range in Springfield, MA.

    When I bought a revolver...I got a 640. Stainless steel has it's positives...

    Either the picture you posted is a pre-production model, Photoshopped or there's an optical illusion going on.
    My barrel and ejector rod shroud blend into the frame perfectly.

    Hit the range this afternoon and am very pleased.
    With the Apex kit installed the already smooth trigger was lightened up considerably and is probably in the 8lb. range, very nice for a J-frame.
    It's nice having real sights on a snubbie, but the rear notch needs to be opened up to let more light in. I also had to black out the rear white rings, they were just too distracting.
    Everything (.38 to .357mag) was dead on the sights out to 15 yards.
    I was putting all rounds into a 3"x4" target with no problems at 15 yards.
    Shot around 100 assorted rounds with no issues.
    Very pleasant to shoot with .38's, .357's had more bark and bite but were very manageable.
    Once I get the Crimson Trace LG-405 rubber grips on it'll be a great training revolver.

    Probably a pre-production photo as it came direct from the S&W website. Good to know.

    28 ounce 329 .44 with the 300 grain plus hard cast magnum loads is like the wild cat holding your balls.
