Help with a s&w 38

What's up?Not even daylight in Indiana and the members are already stirred up!!Gonna be a long day. :D
 
A model 64 is a very fine 38 Special revolver. When I joined the U.S. Dept. of Defense Police in 1994 my issued duty weapon was a S&W Model 64. Some of our 64s had more than 50,000 rounds through them. After we traded them in for our current Berettas I heard that they were X-rayed and some were discovered to have stress cracks for so much shooting. A 64 under normal use will last several lifetimes. I doubt you would put 2-3000 rounds of full combat +P loads each year through it the way we did.
 
All of my Smiths are classified as "vintage" :eek: I love 'em though . . . reminds me of years ago when things SEEMED so much more simple . . no cell phones, no computers . . . . today's kids wouldn't know what to do if they had just one rotary phone that EVERYBODY in the house used and it was on a "party line".

OK . . OK . . I'm old too . . . but I love my "old guns" so I guess it's worth it? Now . . where's my aspirin . . . my arthritis is kicking in. :eek::)
