New Toy

[rsl]

Found this little jem on a dealers table. Covered in greasy finger prints and sweat. Cylinder would not spin and action wouldn't open. Wiped her down and oiled her joints. Like new now. Love these J frames.

Excellent! They are so good to have around.

Nice score on the 60. I have a propensity to accumulate J-frames myself even though I don't actively collect variants, I just like them.

Like a rescue cat.

Hard to go wrong with rescuing a stainless S&W. Wonder if the previous owner "maintained" it with generous portions of WD-40?

Nice score as you can not go wrong with a Mod 60.

Nice thing about stainless, it can be subjected all weekend to strangers' sweat and drool, and with minimal effort it cleans up like new. In fact, with minimal maintenance they look "good as new" virtually forever. BTW, what was going on with the cylinder jammed shut? Obviously it fixed easily or you probably would have mentioned it. Enjoy your new toy. It sounds like you were meant for each other.

I would have rescued that model 60 in a heartbeat. I really hope you enjoy shooting it.

Diamond in the rough

A great find there, you saw past the grime and saw what it could be after a little TLC.

My Father-in-law has a 60. it is either a prototype or first day production. The first-year guns are highly polished! His is so shiny I thought it was a nickel 36/37. I'll always remember it tucked in his cummerbund as he walked my bride up the isle! There were 17 cops at my wedding, I'm betting there were 17 J-frames there too!
