Why don't Police carry .357 I would buy one....
Purchased four of these the last go-around, they were $249 each (Model 64-4 and 64-5). Two were sent back as they were heavily engraved with "owner" information (not light scratches, etc.). Two replacements were sent. Finally all four were in very-good to excellent shape with only light scratches here and there. All were functionally excellent. I did notice one of them had a barrel that appeared to be rotating clockwise (about 5 degrees from center). Sent it back to S&W on their dime, they rebarreled it, and set it back at no charge to me. All 4 guns are very accurate. Great deal at $249.
