In 1965 S&W made history with the new Model 60, the world's first all stainless-steel (SS) revolver from a major manufacturer. The M60 Chief's Special Stainless was itself an offshoot of an earlier S&W legend, the small "J" frame Model 36 Chief's Special. Debuted in 1950, the snub nose Model 36 was the first ultra compact revolver chambered for the .38 Special. It was a hit and gave rise to a whole tribe of small but powerful short detective-, backup-, and bodyguard-special revolvers.
The M60 with its new durable SS metallurgy was itself an instant best seller and today still anchors S&W's small wheel gun line in one of many variants. Still offered in the compact "J" frame format, the M60 is now chambered in the potent .357 Mag caliber (although it can still shoot .38 SPL's). This specimen has the 3" barrel, which offers the ideal compromise between control, power, and compactness. The additional inch of barrel over the radical “snub noses”, which are extremely hard to shoot well in any caliber, vastly diminishes painful recoil problems, encourages practice, and makes the gun just about perfect for everyone, including women or others with smaller hands. In our extensive training experience, this is absolutely the best format for a small revolver in a serious self-defense caliber. Don't miss your chance on this brand-new functional classic at an extremely competitive price!
Built on the small "J" frame, this 3" barreled specimen is finished in S&W's trademark brushless satin stainless, with contrasting black sight hardware and rubber grip. The rear low profile square outline sight is fully adjustable for elevation and windage and is separated from the serrated ramp front sight by a fully grooved top strap to reduce glare. The smooth target trigger is ungrooved, wide, and easy on the shooter. The .240" semi target hammer is small and unobtrusive to aid in concealment. Both pieces are case-hardened. Built into the left side of the frame are Smith & Wesson's on-board locking mechanism and tapered cylinder release. The slim-line, black, round-butt combat rubber grips have molded finger grooves, which should make this gun an outstanding fit for those with smaller hands. Altogether, this is an exceptional carry piece with great looks and a natural feel. Made in USA, the fit and finish on this gun are outstanding.
This gun is a Factory New dealer-direct item with all original packaging, papers and warranty. The box has been opened only for photographs of gun randomly selected from the same dealer lot. What you see is what you get! Don't miss this great opportunity to buy this brand new carry package!
