In 1978, my father purchased a model 60 no dash snub and presented it to me at a promotion ceremony during my PD day's. I carried it as my back up on duty, and it served me well as my off duty piece. For 23 yrs. the little 60 was with me as my back up either in a upside down shld. holster or in a special holster attached to my body armour.

Although I now carry a 66-1 (2.5") as my primary in retirement, I continue to take the 60 to the range at least once a month, and it still performs as well as it did the day I got it. I have the box and all the papers including the receipt of purchase and the unopened cleaning kit.

Each time I open the gun safe, the 60 looks at me and my thoughts return to the day that my dad gave it to me, and how proud he was of his son. I do miss him.............
