I also am interested in learning the age of a gun I been offered. It's a S & W 38 Special Model 64-5 and BBF9. It's a 4" stainless steel. Any idea of what it is worth also? I've read some other threads and people say it's a good gun.

It would be my first gun and I'm leaning towards a revolver, but I fired it today and it felt a little heavy and was a stretch for my finger. I was able to pull the trigger but my arm hurt after about 16 shots. Pulling the trigger back is even harder for me to do. I need to strengthen my fingers I guess, but my hands are small. Any suggestions as to gun size- maybe a shorter barrel would be lighter?

thanks, bonnie
