Just acquired a sock drawer model 36 to use for a long wanted project. Have carried a model 60 as a kit gun for 35+ years, killed 2 deer and a few eating size pigs with it. Bought a parts kit 36 for the 3 inch barrel that was on the cut frame.Both the parts kit barrel and the sock drawer gun have pinned barrels and they "should" fit together ok. I want the 3" barrel for, a small increase in velocity,and as a place to mount a rail for a small red dot. Taurus is fitting a 3" 38 with a small red dot sight and it seems to be working. I am starting into my 70th year and the eyes are not as good as they once were, I have a small 22 WMF rifle with a red dot that works well for me, want to try one on a small pistol. Time to scratch that itch. If you see anything I am missing or overlooking - please point it out. Thanks Danny
