Trigger Mike 1,041 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Local store has a model 63 with 3 inch barrel in 22 long rifle. How good are they? Anyone ever see a used one go by? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 1,277 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 S&W "kit" gun. AKA the .22/.32. Made for many years. High quality .22. What is this supposed to mean? "Anyone ever see a used one go by?" You see used ones at most large gun shows. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pat Riot, SASS #13748 22,832 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 The one I bought a few months ago had to go back to the factory because the barrel to cylinder gap was 0.015” on the left side and 0.005” on the right. It was repaired and sent back to me with a consistent 0.005” gap. I disliked the red fiber optic front sight so I changed it to a gold bead front sight...which I dislike as well. So, I am ordering a green fiber optic sight to install. Believe it or not, after all this, I do like the revolver but it will be a while before I buy another newly made S&W revolver. Their QC SUCKS! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trigger Mike 1,041 Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Its new made. He wants 699, which seemed a lot for a 22, but it is close to what he is charging for the longer barrel model 22 revolvers from smith. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I paid $760, which made finding the problem with it that much worse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
