Besides the Walkman and Rubik’s cube, one of the most iconic things about the early 1980s were stainless S&W Model 64-3s, and we have a stack of round butt Magna grip models in the warehouse. (Photos: Richard Taylor/Guns.com)
From the wide range of options in the Guns.com Warehouse, we bring you one of the best-made classic 1980s “cop guns” there was. The mega gun making concern started by Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson back in 1852 has long been synonymous with revolvers.
Smith & Wesson’s first gun, the Model 1, was a wheelgun and the company still makes dozens of both classic and new model revolvers today. The bastion of their modern K-frame six-shooters, the Model 10 Military & Police, sprang on to the scene originally as the “.38 Hand Ejector” in 1899 then went on to become such a standard bearer for police use that it was a staple commonly seen in the holsters of lawmen throughout the 20th Century.
From Hawaii to New York, S&W Model 10 .38s were extremely common, as more than 6 million were produced. After 1970 the stainless Model 64, still in the same caliber, was an obvious choice to backfill the ranks (Photos: Library of Congress,
