This 2-inch Model 64-2 pairs the strength of Smith & Wesson’s all-stainless construction with the quick handling of a round-butt K-frame. The heavy profile barrel and exposed ejector rod add front-end weight that helps manage recoil while preserving compact dimensions for concealed carry or duty use.
The revolver retains its original forged, flash-chromed trigger and hammer, offering a smooth double-action pull and crisp single-action break. Fixed sights—an integral serrated ramp front and square-notch rear—provide a snag-free profile and straightforward sight picture.
An after-market set of Pachmayr Presentation/Compac grips replaces the factory stocks, delivering a tacky, hand-filling hold that complements the revolver’s round-butt frame. For those who prefer factory wood, the grip frame remains unaltered, allowing easy swap-out.
Serial prefix 7D confirms 1981 manufacture during the era of pinned barrels and recessed gas rings—features that collectors often seek. The brushed stainless finish and all-steel construction ensure durability and corrosion resistance for long-term service.
