Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 60 is a renowned small-frame revolver that has earned a lasting reputation among concealed-carry users, law enforcement officers, and firearms enthusiasts. Introduced in 1965, it became the first regular-production revolver made entirely of stainless steel, which was a major innovation at the time. Built on the compact J-Frame platform, it offered the same familiar size and handling as earlier blued steel models while adding superior resistance to rust and wear, making it especially suited for daily carry and use in harsh conditions. Originally chambered in .38 Special and offered with a short 1.875" barrel and fixed sights, the Model 60 quickly became known for its reliability, simplicity, and ease of concealment, which made it a favorite backup gun for law enforcement and a dependable choice for personal defense. Over the years, the Model 60 evolved to meet changing demands, including the introduction of a stronger J-Magnum frame in the mid-1990s that allowed it to chamber the more powerful .357 Magnum cartridge. This gave shooters the choice between lower-recoil .38 Special loads and higher-powered .357 Magnum for greater defensive performance. Barrel options also expanded to include 2.125", 3", and even 5" heavy barrel versions to provide better accuracy and control. It remains a five-shot, double-action/single-action revolver with a swing-out cylinder and an exposed hammer that allows for precise single-action firing. Depending on the variant, it can feature either fixed or adjustable sights, with the heavier-barreled models offering improved balance and sight radius. The stainless steel construction not only enhances durability but also simplifies cleaning and maintenance, while the compact size and smooth operation make it practical for both everyday carry and range use. Its combination of ruggedness, classic design, and versatility has ensured its place as one of the most enduring revolvers still in production today.
