Went out looking for a 44 Taurus tracker and ended up with a long barreled j frame.

And the LGS had two 44 4" trackers and I couldn't keep my paws off this nifty little S&W 60-18

I didn't even know thay made such a gun on the small frame. Should do everything I wanted the trackers to do as a woods/outdoors/hunting/target/CCW piece

Better pics tomorrow. The other revolver is an astra 9shot 22

I always enjoyed carrying my Taurus Tracker in .41 Magnum.

That is a nice find on that Smith.

And it will fill the bill for sure.

Didn't Taurus discontinue the entire Tracker line a few years back?

 

[Tomcat47]

I believe they discontinued some calibers for a while, but really all of there big bore revolvers are now Tracker Family. And they still offer the .41 Magnum!

Good call. You will NEVER regret that decision...

ARRrrrrrrrrrrrgh! The owner of my LGS has a 60-18 he took in trade two years ago and he absolutely refuses to sell it to me! Says it's his favorite gun ever...and he has LOTS of guns

I've seen 2 on the auction sites but the sellers were a bit too proud of them.

Enjoy your new toy...you did good!

Ruger's putting a 4.2" barrel and adjustables on the SP101, now, too. Seems to be a surge in trail guns now days. Never a bad thing.

Nice find. I'd like a .41 mag Tracker, myself. But, my Taurus 4" 66 ain't broke as a trail carry if it's a little bigger and heavier than the SP and J frame. I don't really kike all THAT much anymore, anyway.

 

[Triggernosis]

R.W., do you know how much that 60-18 weighs? Nice gun, BTW.

I shot the pee out of the little 60 today. Obviously with specials it was a joy to shoot as were lower "factory" level magnums. My 16.0g of 296 158xtp hunting load was a bit much and not something you'd want to shoot a lot of. Extraction was slightly sticky with these.

Double and single action shooting at 20yds was a breeze, no can was safe.

I carried it all day in the pancake holster I use for my Taurus 445. Its certainly concealable but a bit barrel pokey for every day "forget its there" carry. I will say that little round butt grip hides very well.

All in all definitely a keeper. I need to find myself a HOT .38 not quite magnum carry load. (New thread anyone?)
