Boy, that sucks!I may have to wait 20 days on a 10 day waiting period to fire it because of the panicdemic.
What caliber?
Only on some models. Kinda like the JM guns get the JM specific grips which I think are made by Altamont. I suspect that grip style will likely be more popular as time goes on.Boy, that sucks!
That is a beautiful little revolver.
How long have they been engraving the S&W emblem in the grips instead of using the medallion?

There is something about wood stocks on a revolver. I like S&W medallions! Your grips look more comfortable for firing 357 though. I am thinking of a leather OWB cross draw holster.I bought mine in 2017 and it had those grips on it. They are nice looking grips but a little too slick for me so I removed them and installed a Hogue Monogrip. Besides, I didn’t want to scratch them up shooting the gun. Here is what it looks like with the Monogrip. I like that grip. It ain’t pretty but it works.

ROK’N THUNDER,
One thing I found on my 60 Pro that kind of surprised me was that Tritium front sight only has a 0.050” wide Tritium vial inserted into the all black serrated front sight. In the dark it was darn hard to see. I sent the gun back to S&W and they changed the front sight. Made no difference at all. It’s just a small night sight vial. The sight is only 0.125” wide, if memory serves, so there is not a lot of room for anything larger.
Regardless, I don’t believe I would be relying on that night sight anyway if I needed the gun in play in a dark room.
I really hope you enjoy that revolver. Mine needs to go back to S&W as the barrel is just ever so slightly canted left so the rear sight is nearly all the way to the left to hit centered on target.
If you decide to shoot .357 Magnum you will find that a 23oz revolver is quite invigorating when pulling the trigger. I have put a lot of .357 through this gun looking for the most accurate load. For accuracy mine likes Hornady American Gunner in .38 and, of all things, Remington UMC .357 Magnum 125gr JSP is the most accurate .357 ammo in my gun. It’s accurate with many different factory loads but the 2 I mentioned above are the most accurate in mine.
Here is my favorite OWB holster.

Took my first look at a S&W model 60 PRO I bought online. What a neat little revolver. I may have to wait 20 days on a 10 day waiting period to fire it because of the panicdemic.View attachment 918155
IMO, tritium sights are for younger eyes, or people with an eye prescription for handgun sights to be in focus. I've had to move away from tritium sights as the dots are small and blurry thanks to my middle aged eyes.
