S&W model 60

[splashout101]

Mine was my issue model 60, shoots well with 148 gr wc and 125 gr Hp. I also use the tyler t grip, today you pay up front and they make it for you, took a while but worth waiting for and it was nowhere near the 200 I see people paying on e pay.

Lookin' good! I have a 1982 vintage 37 I'll be springing from layaway soon. Would this gun also be regulated to 158 grain slug? Would a lighter one at higher velocity shoot to the same POI?

I have been looking for a nice early model 36 or 60 for a few months. I walked into a gun shop the other day and saw this model 60 looked at it and saw it had no dash after the 60 (I think it in a 1974 or 75), and it was a pinned barrel, and it was real clean. It was marked $450 so I offered $400. He told me he would do it if I paid cash (which was fine thats how I was planning to pay). He went in the back and came back with the original box. I opened the box and there were all the original papers and cleaning kit. That was a big bonus. Then when he rang me up it came to $400 I asked about the tax and he told me it was a guys that use to work for him, and he was selling it for him, thats why he wanted cash. I love it when you get more then you bargined for and at a cheaper price.

Any way I went and shot it at 25 feet and it is shooting 2" low and 2" to the left. I shot it off bags to make sure I wasnt jerking. It grouped about .75" and that was better then I was hopping for. I shot a 160gr boolit with 3.6gr of bullseye. Do any of you have a good load for these guns? I was going to try a 148gr wadcutter with 2.8 gr bullseye.

Also it recoiled noticably more then my sp101 and that suprised me. But I think it is 7oz lighter and the grips dont take the recoil as good as the sp101. I want to keep it looking old so I was going to look for a Tylet T adapter any oppinions on these?

Thanks, Bardo

I have one just like yours. The "T" grips help and I highly recommend them

Well the grip finally came in today after waiting 4 weeks for it. Know I have to get out and shoot it.

Those Tyler T grip adapters are the way to go in my humble opinion as they keep the grip small and shift the hand down a little. They also improve the pointability of the gun by creating a longer front to back feel. Best little revolver out there for CC IMHO. Your on the right track!
