I would guess these fine Mod 60 firearms had to be among the most carried off-duty and CCW revolvers by law enforcement officers for a couple of decades. They were in short supply to the public from their introduction for that very reason....

Just a short recalled history lesson, children...

Long live the Mod 60!!
