The 4" model 67 is one of two 38 caliber revolvers I own, the other being a 6" model 14.
S&W is known to manufacture quality revolvers and the 67 certainly is a quality product. It is THE gun of my collection that I feel confident using as a defensive weapon for my home.
Despite the fact that my model 14 has a 6" barrel vs my Model 67's 4" barrel, I shoot as accurately with the 67 as I do with the 14. I think I can attribute that fact to the "red ramp" front sight which contributes to extremely accurate shooting. The "red ramp" is highly visible and its design makes lining up the front sight with the target highly intuitive. However, the "red ramp" can also be an impediment for some holsters.
The hammer and trigger on my 67 may not be as "buttery smooth" as the hammer and trigger on my model 14 but it is certainly adequate.
The 67 is rated to shoot +P ammo and I have shot several rounds of +P ammo 158 grain in this revolver. Shooting +P the trigger snaps forward violently once the round goes off. I don't use +P ammo in my 14 since it was manufactured in 1978.
Overall, an excellent revolver particularly for home premises protection...
