A friend of mine decided she wanted a revolver for her growing collection, so off we went the Small Arms Review gun show at the Arizona State Fair Grounds to see what we could find.
We had our sights on a stainless steel, 4-inch revolover chambered in .357 magnum or .38 SPL, but for $350. After wandering aisles for hours, we found it. Perfect match. A .38 Special revolver, 4-inch barrel, Hogue grips, 2-pounds of polished stainless steel, and a double-action only trigger — the Smith & Wesson Model 64 for less than 300 bucks!
A quick inspection revealed that the gun was likely 30-years old and traveled a great deal in its time. Based on some of the markings — “MOD 64” and “NY-1” stamped on the cylinder yoke cut-out — put it with some 5,500 guns delivered to the New York City Police Department in the late 80s and early 90s.
And the markings and wear explain a lot about its life. In the 1980s a lot of police departments — the NYPD included — required officers to qualify with a firearm only once a year, so judging by the scuff marks and worn areas, it likely spent the rest of its life inside a holster.
Although it suffered a few cosmetic issues — worn grips and holster wear on the barrel and cylinder — the bore was bright and clean with hardly any wear and at $299, it was too good to pass up.
The bobbed hammer makes this a DAO revolver with a heavier trigger pull. Certainly manageable even for a woman with small hands, but could still be difficult. Changing the Power Rib Mainspring will help reduce pull weight and is fortunately a fairly minor bit of gunsmithing.
Chambered in .38 S&W Special, it’s good compromise between stopping power, recoil and cost. One thing to note, though, there is a .38 S&W cartridge and a .38 S&W Special cartridge, and they are not interchangeable.
Shooting the Model 64 is a joy because of the weight the recoil is easily manageable and as mentioned before the trigger is very heavy but it does not have any slack in it and has a nice clean break, with a little work it can be much better.
The sights on this revolver leave a lot to be desired with a groove on top of the receiver and fixed blade on the barrel making proper sight alignment difficult for me at distances over 15 feet, but at home defense distances they are fine.
The Smith & Wesson Model 64 is an excellent revolver for both new and experienced shooters. Iconic Smith & Wesson quality and lots of replacement parts available make it a great value. New models are still available with many of the same features, but for about double the price of a used model. The company lists MSRP as $689.

Thanks to “overwhelming” demand for a Saiga 12 adapter SilencerCo has added a new part to their catalog. Shotgunners who have been dreaming of a suppressed Saiga now have a slip-on option for use with the outstanding new Salvo 12.
SilencerCo is launching the new part with a cheeky bit of “found footage,” with an ad in the style of archived Soviet-era propaganda. It’s definitely worth watching.
The adapter is designed for Saiga and Vepr shotguns, which while current not being imported, are already Stateside in large numbers. If SilencerCo hadn’t decided to make this adapter, it would have only been a matter of time before a third party stepped in.
“Due to overwhelming interest, we now offer a Saiga 12 adapter for the Salvo 12 shotgun suppressor. Now easily suppress your Saiga or Vepr shotgun using our new adapter for the Salvo 12.”
“Utilizing existing choke tube threading, the Salvo 12 was introduced by SilencerCo in 2014 as the first, commercially-viable shotgun suppressor,” the company said in a press release. “It attaches to virtually any shotgun that will accept interchangeable choke tubes and successfully lowers the muzzle report to below hearing-safe levels.”
Priced at $120 the Saiga/Vepr adapter doesn’t run any more than existing threaded choke adapters and will probably retail in the $90 to $100 range.
We’ve said it before, the Salvo 12 is SilencerCo’s boldest product. The Salvo 12 is the first commercially-viable shotgun suppressor on the market and that’s no small achievement.
The Salvo 12 is completely modular and can be broken down by section, and re-configured with some or all of the baffles to assemble a short, light suppressor or a more noise-reducing, longer and heavier suppressor.
The rear cap is designed to attach onto threaded choke adapters, and SilencerCo makes adapters for Benelli, Browning, FN America, Mossberg Remington and Weatherby shotguns already.
The asymmetrical design hangs the baffle stack beneath the bore which lets shooters see over the can without having to raise or modify their sights.
Shooting a shotgun equipped with a a Salvo 12 is like being transported to a different world. The recoil mitigation is outstanding and the sound pressure level reduction is almost unbelievable. If you can only try one new thing the gun world has to offer this year, make it a Salvo 12 if possible.
The Salvo 12 has the potential to change how the public at large sees suppressors, not as scary or threatening but helpful and safe. And on a Saiga 12 it has got to be one of the most fun shooting experiences we could imagine.
Whether or not you though you might get into stamp collecting, if you have a Saiga or Vepr 12 it’s time to seriously re-think your future purchasing plans.

After suffering from deteriorating health problems for two years, Judge, a retired West Deptford Township, New Jersey, police dog, was walked into a Woolwich Township animal hospital to put a permanent end to his suffering this week.
Judge, who aided in 152 arrests, the seizure of three vehicles, confiscating three illegal handguns, multiple drug seizures and confiscation of more than $47,000 in cash, was diagnosed with Cushings Disease, which led to vomiting, hair loss and bloating. Eventually, medical professionals found multiple masses on Judge’s body and discovered there was little more that could be done for the dog.
Judge had become so weak, that his handlers were unsure if he would be able to make the walk to the hospital door, but with a training sleeve – his favorite toy – gripped tight in his mouth, Judge made the walk and was soon euthanized.

Amongst the pain, suffering and anguish at Auschwitz, some 100 drawings were created by a Polish prisoner in spite of the dire consequences lurking if the drawings were discovered.
“The art was forbidden in Auschwitz so creating a drawing like that means risking torture, even death, however the art existed here almost from the beginning,” explained Agnieszka Sieradzka, art historian at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum.
Franciszek Jaźwiecki drew the faces of his fellow prisoners, and although they varied in age and nationalities, Sieradzka pointed out a very stark similarity among them all.
“The most interesting in these portraits are eyes — a very strange helplessness,” she said, adding that the portraits were often created out of the individual desire for prisoners to have an image.
Sieradzka said she believes Jaźwiecki created the drawings because he knew the historical significance they would one day hold.
Jaźwiecki’s more than 100 portraits are part of a gallery at the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum which features over 2,ooo pieces of art created in Nazi concentration camps.
