Not so.
S&W deleted the pins in about 1982 and made the Model 60 through 1988. The Model 60-3 replaced the Model 60 since Models 60-1 & 60-2 had been used previously for models made concurrently with the Model 60.

Ah, sorry for the misinformation.
Apology not necessary. We'll all here to learn.

A model 15 in a tie with a blue Ruger speed-six .357 followed by 5 others from both manufacturers...oop...6 others because I forgot about a Redhawk .41 snubby tucked away...
Nice holsters.....

My only snubby is a 642 PC. I need to remedy that.
There is no way I'd carry or even shoot an Airweight or a Scandium, etc. I find them to be useless for serious range time and that equates to almost useless for self defense. So I got rid of all of my lightweight snubbies accordingly.
Daily carry is a M649 - the weight difference in my pocket is not noticeable and the shooting difference is markedly noticeable compared to an Airweight:
But my other snubbies are K frames, heavier, more for belt carry than pocket carry but wonderful guns:
Old M10 - I have had this one for decades:
Customized M64 - this one was a DAO re-import with a 4: heavy barrel - awful trigger - The Shootist1894 on this Forum turned it into a fighting handgun:

It aint got a pinned barrel, and has a AYN prefix in the serial number.
My dad was always buying, selling and trading guns. First 2 S&W's I had he gave me. When I saw a model 60 I had to have one. Had one of those old style biker jackets with the zippers and belt. It had a map pocket that held my model 60 perfect.
I was probably around 20 then.

My 649 is my favorite.
442
It should be my 360J but it's not. This Performance Center 442 has a better trigger helps my rapid fire shooting. I don't understand people that say they won't shoot lightweights. Ammo and grip selection make the difference. I'd rather shoot a lightweight with wadcutters than a steel gun with 158+p or 357

I agree - because shooting +P in a snub gun is, IMNSHO, incredibly wasteful and stupid. But people do it. .357 Magnum is worse. Shooting nice, plain Jane .38 Special in a nice, plain Jane .38 Special snub nosed revolver makes all the sense in the world. You're not going to lose a gunfight should you happen to unfortunately get into one with a steel gun with "normal" ammunition. You do run the risk of losing a gunfight with heavy kicking ammunition in lightweight guns.
When they're available again I plan to stock up on wadcutters!
