I've seen mention of the Model 50 in this thread, but I haven't
seen one, yet.

Here's mine.

S&W shipped it to B. E. Hodgdon Inc., in Shawnee Mission, Kansas,
on my first anniversary in the Air Force, March 27, 1973.

Here is a three-screw, non-model marked Chiefs Special. Some would call it a true 'pre-model 36' (because it is the same configuration as the first model marked Model 36, but doesn't yet have the model number marking). For me, this was a hard one to find in excellent condition with box, etc. It likely shipped in the middle of 1958. Thanks to Forum member Magyar it is now in my care.

Here’s one that we don’t run across too often- Product Code 102326 from September 1998, a 60-2 DAO marked Airweight.

I just wore out an extractor rachet lug on my primary carry 637-2 (converted to 9mm & moonclips).
Swapped in another converted assembly to put me back into operation and have ordered a new cylinder assembly to convert as a replacement. J-frame extractors seem to be hard to find right now.

The first Model 60-1: 3" Heavy Barrel and square butt.

According to Dr. Jinks, the parts were produced in 1972, and a few
experimental revolvers shipped that year. S&W assembled and
shipped 169 units to distributors on June 12, 1978.

This is one of 21 sent to Gil Hebard Guns, Inc., in Knoxville, Illinois.

The rumor is true. The lightest S&W ever made.

Speaking of interesting curiosities and widgets ...

Here's a plastic 'tac holster' grip from Pachmayr some decades ago ...






I very briefly used it on my 649 as a younger cop, carrying it in a side cargo pocket of a vest I always wore. I installed it on that snub to pose it for a modern pic. (I've promised it to a cop on another forum, but it took me a while to dig and find the damned thing from where I'd stashed it among the older stuff.)
