Model 60 with Combat grips - saw one yesterday

Model 60 with Combat grips - saw one yesterday.

First time have seen any J-Frame Combat grips.
They have finger groves and look like the K-Frame combats being sold.

Revolver appeared to be in great shape.

Asking price was $650.
Today it was gone.
Did I make a mistake walking out without it.

YES - it looked like the in the picture.
But, it was a 38 Special - Model 60 - NO DASH Number

Depends on which M60 you were looking at and the condition of the combat stocks. It it was a 60-10 or other 3 inch with sights and good condition S&W combats I'd say I wouldn't have passed. Good luck with the next opportunity.

Combat stocks like these?

Same shape - not as nice grain.

I've got some of those on my old model 34.....very comfortable.

They came in square as well as the round butt on the J frame. Here is a round butt M631 and a square butt M63 for example.

How many have a second finger that is 1 1/2 inches in diameter?

How many have a second finger that is 1 1/2 inches in diameter?

Some people like combats and some don't. My second / middle finger isn't inch and half diameter and I'm glad that the top trigger guard cut is big... fits my hand perfectly.
Got these beautiful grips from grip friend Paul

Yes, no. Combats can be found $100-150 and model 60s for four bills and up. If I saw a NIB, orginal model 60 I'd pay six+
