I’ve been wanting a Kimber K6 but haven’t been able to put my hands on one, and I happened upon this Smith 649 yesterday and snatched it up. I don’t know why, but I have an affinity for these little humpbacks.
After shooting it this morning, I think it’s going to replace the 637 I’ve been carrying.
I’m not really a fan of the VZ grips, but they’ll do until I find something I like better. I may just take the Uncle Mike’s boot grips off the 637 and use them on this one.

What defensive ammo are you carrying?
I’ve been carrying some generic hollow points, but given this is a steel frame gun, I may end up carrying some 110 or 129 Federal HydraShocks.

I’m not sure it’s a good idea for liability reasons, but I may carry some handload wadcutters.

Great find! I have owned a nickel and blue AirWeight Humpbacks. Made stupid good money off both when I sold them. But sure wouldn't turn down another for the right price! I just shoot them better than any other J frame.
