My first j frame
I finally was able to add a j frame into my collection, my lgs messaged me and asked if I wanted it, they got it as a trade in, it’s a 1969 no dash model 60 with the original
Stocks that are numbered to the gun. Neat little snubby 38 special. I think I got it for a solid price.

You certainly got off to a good start with the J frames. That's a classic. Well done.

Thank you sir, they normally ask me about certain stuff from time to time, I collector smith pre locks and they had literally just got it in, they cleaned it and put a new spring kit in it. Definitely nice for the age

It starts with one and goes from there.
Nice piece.

Exactly what he said!
And, darg, you are right, you can't have just one. I tried owning just one and I failed miserably. It did although give me a whole new focus on collecting.

I’ve personally never been a j frame fan, I love my L and k frames the most but it’s nice to add some diversity to my collection.

Very nice Model 60. Congratulations on the purchase.
And the solid price is—-wait for it—-wait for it

I've personally never been a handgun fan, growing up on shotguns in a rural setting (hunting and trap). Always said "if I ever need a handgun it's time to move". But recent meth-head activity in my small town, plus the fact that I drive an hour into the worst parts of the city for work...
It was time for a handgun.
I now own 3 J-frames and love them. My 13yo and Wife shoot with me at the range and I EDC.
J-frame is a great pocket carry gun. Congrats.

A must have for any Smith fan. For me a solid price would be anything under $550.

Congrats on the acquisition. Be forewarned that J-frames tend to multiply.

Nothing like a J frame to make your N feel like a boat anchor!
