Saw this on Gun Nuts Media and am giving it some serious consideration when it becomes available.

Currently have -- and thoroughly enjoy -- a 2.25" SW m60. Had the hammer spur removed and shoot DA only (quite accurately since working on the dreaded .357 flinch).

My question: does "drop-in" mean I can do it with relatively few tools or would I be better served taking a $20 drop-in kit and adding another $50 for local gunsmith to do it for me? (FYI- I am mechanically inclined, but on things Harley size & up.)

Other than routine stripping & cleaning, I've not had the m60 apart.
 
I have a chance to handle the Apex Tactical Specialties kit as they were developing and testing it and it is a pretty good value for the cost. They sold a bunch of them at the NRA show this last weekend

It truly is a DIY project if you can detail strip your M60...the hardest thing is removing and re-installing the rebound slide. Most smiths I've know who do this regularly have a screwdriver that they have ground down just for this.

I believe they will follow the route that they established with their M&P parts and be putting up videos on YouTube on how to do it. If you are unsure, I'd watch the videos first and see if it looks like it is within your abilities
 
Have you had any experience with this particular kit? I suspect if/when my wife decides to carry, the m60 would be a good place to start.

My hesitance being that, in spite of the many advantages of revolvers, snubbys are damn hard to shoot accurately without lots of practice, which, realistically, I don't expects much of.
 
Yes I got a chance to shoot the prototype.

I should add that I don't consider the S&W J-frame an optimal platform to learn to shoot a revolver with. I usually don't recommend anything smaller than a K-frame. It is a combination of the frame size and coil spring action
