I traded my 642-2 in scandium for a stainless steel mod. 60 with a 3-inch barrel.

The 642 was very hard on my skinny old hands. The short barrel meant that I wouldn't make a respectable group.

The new (to me) gun is marked 38 S.&W. SPECIAL CTG
(It's not in the S&W website catalog.) I called S&W. They said it was made in March, 1991. !!!

I. Did I make a good trade?
2. Is this a better gun?
3 When did S&W quit making the Mod. 60 in 38 spl?

Thanks, guys.
