The Smith & Wesson Model 64Military and Police revolver is the stainless steel version of the Model 10.
Description[edit]
The Model 64 is a six-shot double-action revolver with fixed sights chambered in .38 Special. It was the second all stainless steel revolver made by Smith & Wesson, the first being the Smith & Wesson Model 60.[1] It was widely used by several U.S. police, sheriff and state agencies and was a popular choice in high humidity states because the stainless model 64 was more corrosion and rust resistant than the blued Model 10.[2]
Originally offered in two variants, a 4' taper barrelled square butt or a 2' round butt, the Model 64 has since been offered in numerous configurations.[2] The 4' heavy barelled version, introduced in 1974, became a favorite with many police agencies.[1] Five variants were made for NYPD and these revolvers are marked 'NY1' as opposed to the more common 'NYCPD' marking for department issued guns as these were intended to be purchased by individual officers.[3] It was the only stainless steel revolver authorized for use by NYPD as well as the last revolver approved for use being replaced by 9mm semiautomatic pistols in 1993.[3]
Noted for its accuracy, dependability and manageable recoil, the Model 64 is still in use for security, inmate transportation (Corrections), target shooting, formal target competition and personal defense.[4]
