I finally got a chance to shoot the Model 60 that came from the factory so out of time it was shaving lead. Frank Smith and Clyde Funk at Lone Star Guns of Plano, TX, a Warranty Center, gave it some TLC and all I can say is OOOH, AHHHH.

I had forgotten how sweet that feeling that only a Smith can provide. You know: "Squeeze, Spin, Click, BOOOM" in perfect timing. I only had time to shoot 100 rounds of Winchester White Box .38 Spec. 130 grainers and 110 Grain JHP .357's but it was sublime with no malfunctions of any kind and flawless ejection on the .357's and an occassional jiggle needed on the .38's.

Accuracy? Wel let's just say I need to spend some more quality time with the Mr. Snubby but oh the joy of "Squeeze,Spin, Click Booooom". Groupings were low but touching on several strings. The accuracy will come.

All I can tell you is I got to have some more of the silky smooth----Squeeze----Spin---Click---BOOOOM. Oooooooh, Aaaaaah. :D :D :D
 
Congrats. Every time I read one of these, I can't help but think how wonderful the world would be if SW would just do that to ALL the guns they sell.....it's like the comedian who said about the black boxes in the plane cockpit that always survive the crash: why don't they just build the plane out of the same stuff?
 
My parents live in Plano and I stopped by there over Easter. Chatted with one of the guys for awhile. I may have to bring some of my S&Ws with me next time and have them work on them. Did they happen to mention what they charge for a basic trigger job?

Will Beararms:
Glad to hear that you finally got some satisfaction from your Smith & Wesson revolver. When they work you can't beat the aesthetics, the trigger pull, accuracy and "joy'" of an S&W. When they don't work we get pi--ed off because we have put down a lot of cash and our expectations are high.

Somebody please stop me !!

If I can find a decent used one, the mod 60 is my next toy.

Almost as good as a stiff dose of viagra, huh??
