IMO, the -7 is the best of the 1 7/8” fixed sight Model 60’s. A non magnum frame, improved yoke retention, 1/8” front sight, new heat treatment, mine has the new extractor without the locating pins.FWIW I have J-frames with BFU and BFV prefixes that shipped in November and December of 1990, respectively.
Nice revolver, BTW. I’m a big fan of the -7 variant of the Model 60.

I just kind of lucked into this. I didn’t know SIL was into guns and her family didn’t know what to do with it. They just wanted it gone.FWIW I have J-frames with BFU and BFV prefixes that shipped in November and December of 1990, respectively. Nice revolver, BTW.

Me too. I have two of them. One has the oem round butt stocks, the other Uncle Mike's boot grips. I'd love to find another set.FWIW I have J-frames with BFU and BFV prefixes that shipped in November and December of 1990, respectively.

Thanks Baxter, I’ll try that. Did the early ‘90s guns still use the wood stocks?I recently lucked into a 60-7 for an excellent price. BNA prefix. Still has ejector pins.
For the rubber grip damage I have used Flitz with good results.
I didn’t have any Flitz so I used just a dab of Mother’s Mag polish and those stains disappeared. Thanks for the tip.Yes mine came with wood stocks. I had the Uncle Mikes / Spegel already they are much better for carry. This gun didn’t have the rubber grip damage I used the Flitz on a Ruger Speed Six recently.
