Smith and Wesson model 60 pro

[longwinters]

I was looking at the Smith model 60 Pro (for a smallish carry gun) and it seemed to fit real well.  I imagine it would be a bit stiff with 357's but it seemed a lot nicer to handle that the regular snubbies.
 
Any experience with these?

I have one. I really like mine. Compared to my Ruger SP101, the 60 Pro came with much better sights, a better trigger, weighs in at 24.8 oz compared to 27.6 oz for the 101 and a very nice grip that was a little small for me. If truth be told, both triggers could stand a little cleanup. When cleaned up, there isn't much difference in the triggers between them, but the 60 Pro is still a little better. I put a Pachmayr Gripper grip on mine. It helps a lot with control of hot loads in the light gun. I like having a little gun certified for .357 even though I run loads more like .38 +P. I have a new 63-5, 3" .22 that I use for practice, keeping down my round count with more expensive ammo. The 63 is great for working on my double action trigger stroke.

Right on Tom. I have a 3" M60 and a 5" M60 both with Pachmar Decelloraters. The 5 recoils more than the 3.For years my only handgun was aS&W M 34 22 kitgun. I love J frames.
