Just picked up a nice 60-15 (manufactured in March 2016) used in West Michigan.
I was never going to buy a S&W with a "Hillary lock" on it, but I kept walking back to this gun and finally it left with me.
Just got back from the range and am really liking this revolver. A web search indicates that it could be quite unpleasant with full house .357 rounds, but I found it manageable. However, what I really like, is how it handled 125 grn, SJHP, Remington +P ammo. Very accurate and quite pleasant to shoot.
I also found the my only 5 round speed loader works great (I was never trained in the use of these things and so far haven't had great luck with them). S&W must have designed these very nice grips to work perfect with a speed loader.
I guess the "Pro Series" is somewhat in between the regular production guns and the "Performance Center" models. I like the details on this gun and am looking forward to carrying it and a speed loader for normal carry situations.
I did notice that the dreaded undercut of the barrel on Model 19's is missing on this gun. There is not undercut on this two piece barrel system.
