Classic Smith & Wesson J-Frame Design

The Smith & Wesson Model 60 is one of the most recognizable revolvers in the company's extensive lineup.

Built on the compact J-frame platform, the Model 60 combines a five-round cylinder with a traditional revolver profile. Its stainless steel construction distinguishes it from earlier blued and nickel-finished Smith & Wesson revolvers.

The double-action/single-action trigger system allows the hammer to be cocked manually for single-action firing or operated through a longer double-action trigger pull.

Traditional Stainless Steel and Wood-Grip Styling

This Model 60 retains the classic appearance associated with earlier Smith & Wesson revolvers.

The stainless steel frame and cylinder are complemented by checkered wood grips featuring Smith & Wesson medallions. The exposed hammer, fluted cylinder, and fixed-sight arrangement contribute to its traditional styling.

The compact barrel and rounded revolver frame give this firearm the recognizable proportions of a classic snub-nose Smith & Wesson.

Chambered in .38 Special

The .38 Special cartridge has a long history in American revolvers and remains popular among recreational shooters and firearm collectors.

Known for its manageable recoil in many revolver configurations and wide ammunition availability, .38 Special has been used in sporting, defensive, and law-enforcement firearms for generations.

The Model 60 represents a significant chapter in that history, combining the established .38 Special cartridge with stainless steel revolver construction.
