Model 60

[GerSan69]

I went to the LGS/range last night with my son to shoot a few. We stopped at the revolver case to browse on the way out and I did a triple-take: a pinned Model 60, in the box with papers. He was in a hurry, so I went back today. This shop has probably 50 yards of semi-auto displays but 10 feet of revolvers, so I wasn't too worried. And, of course, it was there!
It had near-new Uncle Mike's grips on it. Maybe carried some and shot a few times. It's very dirty, but in very good shape. I looked it up in SCSW; 6567xx should make it around '68, do y'all agree?

It might even be a 1967. Call Smith on that one.

 

[GerSan69]

Thank you, I'll do that.

Is it just the picture, or is there something on the hammer spur?

Good for you!

I love my little 60. It's usually just stuck in my pocket while I'm doing chores around the homestead. Summertime 2 38 shot shells up first followed by 3 158gr lswchp. Cooler weather just the 158s.

Yes, the previous owner put heat-shrink on it. When I took that off, it had rust underneath. There was a ton of dirt under the side plate and surface rust spots near the screw holes on the frame. Everything cleaned up pretty well, though.

Very nice, one of my few gun sale regrets was my no dash model 60
