I bought a NEW 60-15 with the 3 inch barrel because I could not find a used one anywhere. Never had a problem with it or the lock. I picked up an older 49 about the same time but it needed work done numerous times. Bought a NEW 2 inch 649 to replace it while it was being repaired for the 4th time. Traded it in on a 640-1. It’s also nice having an option to own a j frame that handles .357.
