Greeting's All-
November, I have an "old model" 60 S&W,
chambered for .38 Special ONLY; and with about
a 1-7/8" barrel and the letter "R" serial prefix.
You are correct, they are small; but they're not
the lightest revolver made, even by S&W. That
distinction is held by the Ti and Sc series from
S&W. For FYI, the "old model 60" weighs in at
just 19 ozs. unloaded. Thats light enough for
me.
New model 60's can be found stamped 60-9, or
60-10 and chambered for the .357 magnum. I
think weight runs from about 23 ozs, to 24.5
for the model with adjustable sight's and fully
under lugged barrel?
Best Wishes,
