I have a 642 like everyone else on the planet but I long to get an S&W model 60 (2") for two reasons. One, I like stainless and even after it's gotten beat up, you can bead blast it and it looks new. And then there's the hammer! Now EVERYONE knows hammerless (aka concealed hammer) is the thing for CCW to prevent snags and we ALL know defensive shooting with a revolvers should all be DAO, HOWEVER, does anyone else out there feel like I do that a revolver simply looks better with a Hammer?
For IWB I don't think having a hammer is any liability at all. I agree you don't need SA for CCW except for a 1 in a million scenario that I won't ever be in, but I just think the hammered version looks, right!
Now I like my 642 for pocket carry and I think the bobbed hammers on SP101s look great but I think a Model 60 with wood grips is about the best looking snubbie every made?
Am I alone in this thinking?
By the way, if you have a model 60 with wood grips, would you mind posting a pic? I'm going to get one and I'm trying to figure out which grips I like. I think the black wood badger grips on a stainless mdl 60 would just make a grown man drool.
What do you think?
