Since I gave my Taurus blued model 605 to my oldest son for part of his Christmas, I 'm in the market for a new stainless snub. My dealer that I do most of my buying from has a NIB model 60 and can get me a model 605. I think the price difference is around $100 or close to that. Do you really think that the S&W 60 is that much better of a gun?, or would you go for the Taurus. The blued one I had was really a pretty nice gun.
