I have a M63 I bought new when I was in high school when they were introduced, 1978?. A lot of critters have dropped to that piece. A few years ago I picked up a 2" M34 cheap. It is hard to shoot well. My favorite is this one. It just feels right in the hand (think Ruger Bisley), is flawlessly put together and is easy to shoot well.
