Born on date for model 60.
Just got my first S&W .38 and was wondering if anyone could help me with the date on it. It's a Mod-60 and the serial number is R255xxx. I'm thinking maybe mid-late 70's but would like to know exact year if possible. Thank you for the help.

Welcome to the forum!
Looks like '79-'80.

If it's a Model 60, you have more than a .38 there. The 60 is chambered for .357, but you can also accommodate .38s.

Not quite.
Earlier M-60's were only chambered for the .38 Special cartridge.

The model 60-9 was the first of the .357 Mag. That was the mid 1990's. Prior to the 60-9, all 60's were .38 spl. I may be wrong.

Plus, it was the first production stainless revolver to be made! :-)

A friend of mine has a Model 60 and is wondering what the date of manufacture would be and if it has any collector's value.
He's not computer savvy, and I'm not S&W savvy, so I'm helping him out.
Serial number is: R259722
Any help? Thanks in advance!

I re-checked the M-60 hopefully in the right place and the number on the bottom of the grip says "ANP98**". Anyone know when it was made and can I shoot +P's?
Thanks,
Sam

Love my Model 60-9
Sure love this gun for concealed carry. Had a Ruger Sp 101 but sold it when I found this bobbed beauty.

i'd say 1985 or 86 on the ANP98XX model 60. a few +Ps every once in a while will not hurt it at all.

that "bobber" is pretty, too. i had to have an sp101 also, but it was just too heavy to carry day-in and day-out. it was quickly replaced with a smith!
