That looks very much like my 1952. (Only better) Great gun and Happy Birthday.

These are Altamont super walnut on my Model 60 3" round butt.

Thanks for your replies. I agree that round butts look odd on 4" and longer barrels. However, if you have small hands like me, they are helpful. I have a round butt model 60 3" that I put round to square butt grips on. The grips are Altamont super walnut.

Sorry I asked

I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I've never owned an L-Frame. Do all the recent production one have round butts?

Thanks! I appreciate it.

Thanks for your replies guys! It helps satisfy my curiosity.

I bought this K22 Masterpiece about 6 years ago. I'm curious when it was built. Any help would be appreciated.

Smith & Wesson still lists them on their website. I paid $700 NIB for mine about 7 years ago. I'm sure it's not the 60-4 though. It has the dreaded hole for the lock.

Guess I'm lucky. I've bought 3 new Smiths in the last 6 months and as near as I can tell they are flawless. Model 43, Model 640 PC, Model M&P 340

My Model 60 3" has those grips. I bought it in 2016.

I have the 640 Pro and I don't find it too heavy to carry in a pocket holster in my blue jeans. YRMV.

After an inventory of my reloading supplies, a decision is pretty easy. I have a good supply of large pistol primers, .45 cast bullets for .45 Colt, .45 flat point and round point full metal jacket bullets for .45 auto, and .41 JHP bullets for the .41 Mag. The variety and quantity of powder...

Sounds like a plan to me. :)

Two weeks ago I ordered Winchester Auto Comp directly from Hodgdon's web site. It took me about a week to get it. I was just out looking at the site and noticed they had order buttons next to their powders.
