I've been a long time fan of J-Frames and 2 that I've always wanted are a 3" RB Model 36 and a model 60. Always figured they'd be 38 Special.
I was at the LGS Saturday picking up a 642. While I was waiting for my background check I wandered back to the revolver case, they had a 60-15. Tempting, but I'd just gotten the 642 (as a NY reload for my 638) and didn't feel like I should spend the money.
About half way home I had second thoughts about not getting it. Spent that night and Sunday reading everything I could find here about the Model 60 and 3" S&Ws in general. My OCD kicked in.
They closed shortly after I left on Saturday, were closed on Sunday, so I called first thing Monday morning. It was still there (such a relief
) so I had them put it aside and I ran over on my lunch hour and got it.
A 3" Model 60-15, fresh from S&W & 100 < MSRP.
I really love this thing. It hits all my sensibilities, all steel, stainless, adjustable sights .357 capable. With the factory grips on, it feels more like a K frame then a J
I have a ton of J-Frame 'stuff' most of my holsters won't work, got 3" versions of my favorites ordered. Picked up a DeSanti pancake when I got the piece, wore it all day and forgot I had it on.
two birds with one stone, and saves having to buy 2 handguns... for now.
