Reincarnated model 63?
« on: April 22, 2007, 04:06:39 PM »
I saw on the S&W website that a new model 63 with a 5" barrel, was announced recently. Anybody see any pictures of this? Sure wish they would bring the model 45 back.

It sounds interesting to me, too. The only photo I have seen is one taken at the NRA show. It is basically a 5" model 60 in .22 LR. with an 8 shot cylinder. Photos of the 5" M60 are on the S&W website. The 5" M60 weighs about 30 oz, so the new 63 should be close to that.
