60-1 +P
I thought my model 60 was a no dash as it shows no dash. Inside the crane it just says MOD.60.
Well I called S&W support to find out if my gun would shoot +Ps safely. I was informed it was a 1983 -1. That would be around when I bought it (new). It turns out it's not old enough to be a no dash. OK, I don't care but interesting I guess.
As for the +Ps, the guy (Dave) said he could guarantee it would work once but they weren't guaranteed to work with +Ps. He advised that there have been some metallurgical changes since then.
That kinda disappoints me as I was wanting to find newer type ammo for it and do some practice with the new ammo. All of the good new ammo seems to be +P rated.
I have shot a few +Ps through it in the past but not many. Being stainless steel I'd of thought it was probably OK but I guess not. So, I guess I'll have to stick with my mild loads or not practice much with them but carry +Ps.
