    S&W Mod. 60 (no Dash)

    I have a S&W Mod. 60 (no dash), and I am not sure if there is problem or not. At the range this past weekend. Started with 158 FMJ (Western X). It's some pretty old ammo, so I wasn't suprised when a round didn't go off. I thought, "It's old, primer is bad". But it happened once every 5...

    Help with Model 36

    I have a flat latch model 36, I'm trying to determine a value for a buddy of mine. He picked it up for $200. Did he get a good buy on it? How much is it worth? Can anyone tell me a little history about it from the Serial? *honestly I'm a bit jealous he scored it* Serial# 1330XX. There is...

    Some help in grip identification.

    I recently bought a used Mod. 60 which had these grips on it. They look like they are from the Fuzzy Farrant "school" of grip making, but don't look enough like what he's done for me to be able to tell. There is palm swell on the left side with the checkering. The right panel is flat and...

    My new, to me anyway, Mod. 60

    FINALLY, I was able to pick up my S&W Model 60. No Factory grips, but I really do like the aftermarket that it came with. I thought about getting some panel grips and a t-grip, but I really do like the ones that are on it. If anyone has any more info I'd appreciate it (Ser. # R319XX). So...

    Feeding a Mod. 60

    Next weekend I'll be picking up a Model 60 (pinned). I'll post some pics when I do. :) I have a few questions about self-defense ammo for the .38 spl. When I carried a Mod. 64 4" for work I had no problems or question about using 125gr +P rounds. I do intend to use lighter WC for plinking...

    Price on a Model 60?

    Wondering what would be the going rate on a Model 60 Stainless, pinned barrel. The one I'm looking at has original wood grips that looks to be in pretty good shape. There is some of the typical discoloration on the front of the cylander. The owner said 1980 or 1981. I'm at looking at $525.

    Value of a Chief Special Mod. 36?

    I'm looking at a blued Mod. 36 Chief's Special w/square butt. The Current owner says it has no wear marks. I have not looked at it in person yet, so I haven't seen the ser.# or what it's 'dashed'. Is there anything I should look for as far as problems or special markings that will set it...
