S&W Model 60 Pro Series 357 Magnum

Mine is nice to shoot.

On a whim, ( I knew I could keep it if she didn't like it) I gave one to my daughter for Christmas. Her second time ever shooting any gun. Not bad at 28'.

How's the trigger on that??????? I know that some of the Smith's need some work....................

The Pro Series is a premium gun that should have been assembled in the main plant and the final inspection and fitting in the Performance Center. That said, I bought my Mod. 60 Pro new, did some minor polishing of the rebound slide and frame, installed a Wolff 8# mainspring and 15# rebound slide spring, re-lubed, and tested with a couple hundred reloads using CCI primed handloads. The gun is totally reliable and trigger is now as smooth as the inside of a school teachers thigh.

Literally all of my recent S&W PC & Pro Series revolver purchases needed this same treatment. Call me fussy, but when moving the trigger in a $800 and up gun, I won't stand for a gritty feel or shavings under the sideplate. Nor will I dry fire it a couple of thousand times to get it reasonable close to acceptable.

I anxiously await the new Kimber K6s and hope they have their act together.

It is kind of crazy.............the amount of $$$$$$$ you pay for firearms these days, and you still have to work them. It WOULD be nice to hear that Kimber has a trigger right out of the box, only $899 retail

The single action trigger is good. Double action not so much. I watch my ammo choices because it only weighs 23.2 oz. Some folks have complained about the adjustable sights but I like them.

It is my first revolver since I lost a 4" Colt Python in a messy divorce a lifetime ago. The S&W Model 60 Pro is different from the Python but once I got used to it, all is good. Since it hold 5 rounds, I have Bianchi Speed Strips for spare ammo.

I do like 357 Magnums simply because they are quite versatile weapons.

Agreed but it ain't gonna happen. Prices are rising.

If you look hard, there are deals out there. I found one.

How do you manage to have so many unfired guns? When I get a new one I can't wait to get to the range. You have a strong will, sir..
