I recently purchased a S&W 64-5 from AIM Surplus. This is a .38 SPL police trade-in from a force overseas (I need to figure out from where!). Took it to the range and just loved it! It was very accurate, as would be expected, when fired double action. In single action I was surprised at how much it affected my aim. The recoil was not bad and, as it is a revolver, I had not function issues. The one thing I noticed is that the wood grips felt a little small in my hands, and my hands are not that big. I had expected this and could have gotten the revolver with Pachmyr grips but wanted the more original wood grips with the S&W emblem embedded in the grip. All in all, I a very pleased. Here is a picture of the pistol.
