Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 60 is a landmark revolver in American firearms history, best known as the first commercially successful stainless steel revolver. Introduced in 1965, the Model 60 was built on Smith & Wesson’s small J-frame and was initially chambered in .38 Special. It was developed during a period when law enforcement and civilian shooters were seeking compact, corrosion-resistant sidearms suitable for concealed carry and daily use. By utilizing stainless steel rather than traditional blued carbon steel, Smith & Wesson addressed concerns about rust, wear, and maintenance, especially for officers and outdoorsmen who carried revolvers in varied climates. Early production examples featured a pinned barrel, recessed chambers, and traditional service sights, closely mirroring the blued Model 36 Chief’s Special in form and handling.

Production of the Model 60 has continued—with periodic engineering changes—from 1965 to the present, making it one of Smith & Wesson’s longest-running revolver models. Over the decades, the design evolved to include variations in barrel length, adjustable sights, different grip styles, and expanded chamberings, including .357 Magnum in later, strengthened versions. Despite these updates, the core appeal of the Model 60 has remained consistent: a compact, reliable, and durable revolver well suited for personal defense, trail carry, and backup use. Collectors particularly value early “no-dash” examples for their historical significance and classic craftsmanship, while modern iterations continue to appeal to shooters who appreciate the balance of traditional revolver design with modern materials and engineering.
