Model 60 is one of the best guns that S&W has ever made!!!
Why discontinue a winner?...and I don't like adjustable sights!!!
 
I have been to 3 gun shops that have told me that it has been discontinued, and is very dificult to find one in Fl.
I have call several more and they DON"T have it
 
My favorite shop had 2 in their case as of just a few days ago. I'd hate to think they're the last 2 I'll see :( I hope your info is wrong :scrutiny: THe mod 60 is key member in the S&W wheelgun line up.
 
I have a 60 I bought back in the middle 1980s. It was a "lost leader" sale at a huge gunshop (now out of business). They were selling them below cost, and when you got there to buy it, they would tell you what a piece of crap the model 60 is, and what you really want is something else that wasn't on sale. I didn't go for it. I insisted on the Model 60 they had advertized, even as he was telling me that it would probably fall apart on me after just a few hundred rounds. I had a good laugh at their low life tactics. That gun is still with me today, and has NEVER had a problem of any sort. It will probably still be working fine a hundred years from now.

Why don't you just buy a used one. Most were carried a lot, shot a little.
