Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 64-2 issued to the California Department of Corrections represents one of the most recognizable law enforcement duty revolvers of the late 20th century, built on Smith & Wesson’s proven K-frame platform and chambered in .38 Special. As a second engineering revision of the stainless-steel Model 64 line, the “-2” designation reflects internal improvements made during production, including refinements to the extractor system, heat treatment processes, and minor durability upgrades that enhanced long-term service reliability. The Model 64 itself was introduced in 1970 as the stainless counterpart to the blued Model 10, and its corrosion-resistant construction made it especially attractive to agencies operating in demanding environments where humidity, rain, and heavy field use could quickly degrade blued finishes. Within correctional service roles—such as those in the California Department of Corrections (now part of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation)—these revolvers were valued for their simplicity, mechanical robustness, and ease of training, since the double-action/single-action operation, fixed sights, and six-round cylinder provided a straightforward and highly dependable sidearm for inmate transport and perimeter security duties. Typically configured with 2-inch barrels, department-issued 64-2 revolvers often saw extensive holster wear but remained mechanically durable due to their stainless steel construction and conservative .38 Special chambering, which emphasized controllability over raw power. Over time, many of these service revolvers were phased out in the 1990s as correctional agencies transitioned toward high-capacity semi-automatic pistols, but the Model 64-2 remains highly regarded among collectors and enthusiasts for its association with institutional law enforcement history and its reputation as one of the most practical, no-nonsense duty revolvers ever fielded in American corrections service.
Return Policy:
