Just ordered - S&W Model 60

[TireMan]

Yes it has the ILS...but this will be the first wheel gun in the safe. Should be a nice carry. I'm more excited about this than I have been for a new purchase in awhile!

$699 + DROS




by the way, does anyone in the world have a lower that will fit a KAC SR25 upper???

Congrats. I have the shorter version. It's a nice little revolver. I'm sure it won't be your last. Revolvers are fun.

wow... must be Model 60 Pro time or something. I found one as well and waiting on it to arrive at my ffl.

can't wait!

I noticed that some of the older Smith models are available for sale.. I thought they quit making some of them - like the 586 and the 60. I love the wheelguns but just got interested in them, so don't know the history...

Love the J frame 38's

My model 60 3in. is one of 2 J frame .38 I use often as a CCW, I also carry a model 37 Airweight. They are very concealable, accurate and reliable.

I really like those grips on the Model 60 Pro.

I added the fiber optic front and v notch rear sights as well as the ILS plug and Pachmayer's to my 60 3in..

i got a 686+ as a birthday gift from my wife a few years back,
since then i was hooked on wheel guns. Although i still own more
auto pistols then revolvers.

congrats on your new acquisition. i'm partial to early variants of current production firearms. i have an older (1979) Model 60 2" (1.875") that i would never part with.

Psango, fiber optic sights the way to go?

699 is a good deal I paid 779

The Mod. 60 has been around forever (1964 if I recall) and is still in production albeit with considerable change from the original. I had a 1967 vintage gun for a while in the 70's, had it stolen and replaced with a new gun in 1982. Carried and shot it alot since then and you can't kill it with a stick as far as I can tell.

An all-steel 3" J-frame is probably the best civilian concealment option for most folks. Almost as easy to carry as a 2" gun, far easier to control, as reliable as any piece of machinery can be and as easy to use as a weapon can get. No, you can't take on a horde of jihadists, but very very few CCW situations really need more than 5 shots.

Please post a review when you break them out. I'm going to be purchasing either the Model 60 pro or the Model 36 Classic series in a couple of weeks, and would like to hear your experiences.

Whichever one I buy will be used as a carry gun for when I move at the end of the year when my military obligation is over. I'd likely carry .38+P in the Model 60, so .357/.38 vs .38 only is not much of a concern.

Congrats! Beautiful gun. Mine was made in '73 and still shoots great.

What are some good black grips for the 60? Something for the recoil. Supposedly the grips on the 60 Pro are very nice but I like the way black looks.

Also... the Safariland speed loaders are the recommended ones?

Love getting a new gun... because you get to pick out accessories

grips

Both Hogue and Pachmayer make grips for the S&W round but J-frames like the model 60. The Compact grips are great for concealment the Gripper model is better for re-coil.

Safariland and HKS have the 5 shot speedloaders. Personally I like the HKS better but have used both.
