First Model 60 video with vintage .38 Special made in 1970: th-cam.com/video/8lFUAc1sNHg/w-d-xo.html
Love your videos man! Greetings from Argentina.
Gota love revolvers. First thang I carried when I started law enforcement back in 1981. I retired in 2017. I still got a s&w mod 58 and a mod 10 and a mod 60. Wish I had kept my 3 colts. The mod 60 I got is only a 38.
I feel like revolvers are underrated for carry...semi-autos get all the good press. I've got a S&W 442 with Hogue grips that's about perfect.
That's a nice gun can u make another video with a beretta model 81
I bought one when they came out and its been my carry ever since. No complaints, no problems. I shot 357's a lot and its great. But .38+p is really smooth going through. The regular .38 special is a great one handed round if you want to just go out and pop off a few rounds.
This is the only pistol my father ever owned. He loved it. He is gone now, and it's in my holster.
Sorry for your loss. What a great keepsake.
What a wonderful 💘keepsake from your father! I would carry it too👍
Dad had good taste.
What a awesome piece to inherit..
Su Padre tenia un muy buen gusto,no lo venda nunca.Su Padre desde los cielos y su smith aca en la tierra son sus angeles de la guarda,saludos desde Argentina.
I bought mine in 2005 and fired a lot of magnums through it. About 10 years later the indexing and timing was all off. I sent it back to S&W and they fixed it up and sent it back with a note saying "practice with .38's and don't shoot Magnums all the time"
Who learns at least one thing every time you watch hickok45..?
🙋♂️me
Yes
Me
Agreed 👆🏻
I do!
Absolutely right hickok, having a .357 doesn't always mean you need that magnum load... it's situational but nice to have options with ammo scarcity and such.
Agreed- I have the same model 60 (w/longer barrel & grip)
Usually keep it stocked w/ regular old .38 special
Yep, 5 shots of .357 mag is nothing to sneeze at, but only if you train with it.
i've only ever shot one once. i did it one handed (on a dare)
loaded a single round, BANG! almost broke my trigger finger against the front of the trigger guard. had to catch the gun before she hit the ground, flopped right outa my tiny hand.
@@__shifty holy shit how much recoil does this have? Or were you not prepared for the recoil
It’s a beast with .357. Your hand won’t be able to withstand the beating it’ll take to become proficient. .38 +p. Highly recommend.
@@seanvine39 unless you have small girly hands ..Mans hard working hand do just fine
@@mmaaphilliates true but tough part is not flinching unconsciously.
Also J frames are not made for lots of magnum use, the guns won't hold up. I have a major beef with S&W over this issue. By that I mean, chambering guns for calibers which they can't handle a steady diet of.
My first carry handgun (not my first handgun) was a slightly used Chief Special from the '60s with a 3 inch barrel. I fired friends' Smiths and Detective Specials with 2 inch barrels and it always made me glad I chose a 3 inch barrel. It took me many and several decades (and dozens of terrific polymer pistols) but I finally bought (last year) a model 60 with a 3 inch barrel. I've fired more .357 round than .38 special rounds through it, but frankly, after the first cylinder of .357 rounds I knew what was going on and what I had to do. Granted, I have decades of shooting all kinds of calibers behind me, but it is such a sweet shooter that I think anyone can do as well as I do, with consistent hits out to 50 yards. But I do recommend that 3 inch barrel.
Owning a firearm is a major responsibility, regular practise is crucial no matter how experienced you are. sometimes I instruct first timers at the range, and some of them can fire a whole box at man-sized target at 10 yards and hit nothing but the ceiling or someone else's target.
So true.. as a range officer I've seen newbies completely miss the target @ 25'
The model 60 is my personal CCW. Eagle Secret Service grips and a simple kydex IWB holster. I love this pistol. Handles .357 rounds no problem. Just takes some practice to get used to them.
The “coke bottle” boot grip really helps with 357 mag recoil. It’s worth looking into. Plus this pistol is heavier than a LCR so if you’re looking for a small frame revolver and want that 357 mag, the 640 (DA only) or 60 (DA/SA) is a great choice. Highly recommend
That 80yrd shot was pretty impressive
Love the .357! My favorite revolver cartridge.
This is my daily carry. I’ve got it set up with large Pachmayr gripper grips, a tritium fiber optic sight, a bobbed hammer, and the cylinder is cut for moon clips. As far as I’m concerned it’s the perfect carry revolver, and I’ve probably got more trigger time on this than any other pistol.
I think it's very fair to say that it doesn't matter what your shooting if you don't hit the target. We know recoil and flinching decreases accuracy increases hesitation. This is why I love hickok45.
Hickok45, you are so appreciated. Your videos are nice to watch and very educational. It really is nice to hear your take on many of the guns you demo. Thank you, Sir, for your service to many of the public, local, state and federal LEOs. You are great!!
I always love hearing the brass and shot shells when he walks back to the table.
I have a 60-14 LS and it's probably my favorite gun out of those I own. I'll shoot 357 with it for grins but my train and carry is +P, which is why I got it, to have a concealable heavy duty +P platform in a j frame without a lot of recoil. Thanks for another great video!
Back in the day, my mother carried a weapon like this until they "upgraded" to the Baretta. She hated that weapon. Later, they upgraded to the Glock 19. She hated that weapon. After she retired, we tried to get her to fall in love with a Glock 27. She hated it and went back to that damn old .357 that she kept either in her purse or in the magazine(for reading material) in her recliner with a damn riot gun next to it.
Her thing was if "they" kicked her door in, she would get them with the .357 that was now stoked with Hornaday Critical defense rounds. If that didn't stop "them" she had the 12 gauge ready to go as if she was still on patrol.
I'm thinking of carrying that old blaster thinking if you can't stop it in six, you're gone anyway. Well, I don't know. Maybe it'll be my back up.
Smart mom.
I carried a Glock 19 for my job as security guard, I would have preferred a .357 mag revolver but they wouldn't let me carry it as my main gun. I understand her hatred of semi autos but the 19 is a very good gun, along with the 43x. Has she ever held a 43x in her hands? It fits mine like a glove.
This is one of the videos that led me to purchase my own Model 60 with a 3" barrel, and I have been very happy with it. The longer barrel really makes all the difference, it points and shoots like a normal gun when you're aiming. I always shoot double-action, and it's accurate enough with my 38spl level loads that I could use it for short range hunting of small game.
The Model 60 pairs very well with the Model 63, which is practically identical except it shoots 8 rounds of 22LR. Can't recommend either of them highly enough. Adjustable sights should be standard on everything!
Gotta love the grooved receiver for a rear sight. But as always, this guy almost never misses.
In my experience FWIW you are certainly right, in the services for many years we had to shoot 'double tap' qualifications with 250 rounds of .357 magnum in a range day using a short barrel Ruger Speed Six and while that conditioned you well it was always a challenge and producing a reliable double tap hit was work. Doing the same thing with a .38 Special +P was actually a pleasure, it was surprising how much benefit it provided.
The only thing you got carried away with was knocking boxes off the table.
Love you man.
Thank you Greg for this EXCELLENT video - it is full of wisdom and useful information that I needed to guide me to selecting the RIGHT revolver for Concealed Carry … Also, I’ve been watching your videos for 12+ years and you have always steered me in the right direction with choosing the best solution. Again, many thanks! 👍🏻😊
I've had a model 60 3 inch barrel for almost a year. It's a great trail gun, powerful, and doesn't carry that much different than my 642. Lately I've cooked up a hot 38+p+ reload that I've been shooting out of the model 60, it's a good compromise between power and recoil without the punch of a full house .357.
This was the first real for the hell of it gun I bought and I’ve loved it ever since, the factory grips do cause my middle finger on the right hand to lose some skin after 30 plus high grain magnums but I love the little thumper firing it one handed is a riot
I learn so much from your videos been watching for a year and a half so cool.
I know someone who conceal carries one of these with hollow point rounds. I'm not old enough to purchase my own firearms yet, but it gave me possibly the most fun I've had during any target practice ever. Definitely gonna heavily consider getting this once I'm old enough to carry.
keep in mind when the first S&W 357 magnum came out , Carl Helstrom took out and got a grizzly bear with it. something that powerful is going to kick in a gun that small. and it kicks in a "K" frame as well.
Model 60-14 was my first gun!
My late but great father had the .38 spec as a back up. He loved it.
My dad's old Model 36 Chief's Special is still my primary pocket gun.
I recently stumbled upon your channel and by far you are one of my favorites. I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos!
Love my 3" 60! Carry it a lot.
Can I ask what type of holster you chose?
for myself stress is watching you shot all that new ammo, even if i enjoy watching you shot all that ammo, only because I wish I had all that ammo
I love 357 magnum Revolvers !!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for showing this gorgeous S&W Model 60 Revolver , Hickok45 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When Chuck Norris goes to bed, he checks under his bed for Hickock45
A set of Altamont grips on this firearm looks amazing!
Heck yeah, I've had a 3" version of the Model 60 for about 5 years now. It is my go to carry in grizzly country maybe 2 or 3 weeks per year of shorter trips. I would rather avoid the rascals so I haven't had to use it on anything thank heaven, but I did pull it once when one got way too close...disappeared (gulp!!)...then ran off. It is not as much fun to shoot the .357mags as it is the .38's but for a 3" gun it is well balanced and accurate for me at least out to 20 yds. It's a beauty too after putting wood grips on.
Gotta love small, powerful revolvers! I have both a model 442 (J frame) and a model 65 (K frame) with a 3 inch barrel. You just can’t go wrong with either one. With the old FBI load, 158 grain +p LSWCHP, you are well-armed.
I have a Smith & Wesson model 586-3 and that is definitely a usable revolver for 357s. I just purchased the model 60 with a 2.125 in barrel and though it can take 357s I will be using 38+p to use when I'm concealed carry. Though I've never been in a self-defense predicament I can only imagine how much different that would be than shooting at the range and with the more unpredictability of the 357 in this gun I'll just feel a bit more confident with the 38 + P's in it.
I enjoy your videos and have watched them with other revolvers. I'm more of a revolver person and favor more of the Smith & Wesson and you have a lot of the videos in your library of these. Keep up the good work!
Unfortunately, I know way too many people who don’t practice at the range. I tell them they are welcome to come with me to the range anytime their schedules permit. I will show them this video. Maybe, this will encourage them to visit the range. Thank you for your time and work that you put into all your videos.
Have that rubber grip on my model 60 with a 3 inch barrel and loved it so much that I put it on my model 36 chief. Excellent!
I was literally looking on you channel to see if you’ve done a review on this the other day because I just bought one. 💥 here it is!!
I'm a wheel gun enthusiast hard core. I have a pro center 640 with night sights that I carry. 357 critical defense in. I couldn't agree more with everything you said, but you just cant argue the ballistic difference, even in a snub nose. I do carry .38+p a lot in the airwights though. But I love .357 in the solid steel frames. With that said I can shoot lighter loads better like everybody does. I am perfectly ok with my 4inch 686+ with .38+p bonded rounds in it, and will sleep good with it by the bed.
Great video !! Always informative
Great video, thanks! I purchased a 686+ SW after watching your video and i have to say... its my favorite gun out of all the ones i own. I now reload 357 mag (again thanks to your older videos) so i really appreciate you sharing this gun with us. I would be extremely disappointed in myself if i didnt have one by the end of the month!
Congratulations on your entering the L-Frame .357 World. I'm sorry that there are fairly serious shooters among us who have yet to discover the joys of owning and shooting revolvers. :-)
The timing on that first empty paint can was absolutely perfect, right as a truck in the parking lot here released his air brakes...was a weird sound for a 357 haha
I just looked at a Model 60 today (a sign next to it said "chief's special") and the first thing I told the salesperson, when I held it in my hand, was, "Hmm, it's kind of small." My reference point was my 637 Airweight. The 60 felt more solid and heavier, of course. I agree that it serves a niche audience.
One of my favorite revolvers for concealed carry is a close relative to the model 60, it's the 649 also in 357 magnum. I put a set of crimson trace grips on it. Wonderful carry option and very easy to control with 38 +p ammo. I also have a model 360 sc, scandium frame 357 magnum. Off the top of my head I think it weighs 11 ounces empty. Definitely not pleasant to shoot. The 649 is a good carry revolver.
That red dot really lights up a room.
@@JW...-oj5iw yup.
I have the 3” barrel Model 60 & I love it!!
I have one & absolutely love it. Small, chunky, so solid.
Welcome to Tennessee the home of Hickok45. Always some great knowledge on firearms
Hey hey... I just bought me one of these a month ago!! Love my LadySmith
Thanks..... I was wanting to be "cool and tough", !!
I have a j-frame +p and a . 22 Maggie J .
I am convinced I don't need the . 357 now.
That's a beautiful Smith wheel gun 👍 you guys provide such awesome videos 😎 you got our support from Indiana 🇺🇲💯
This would be my favorite side arm...but Canada.
I love how safe revolvers are to handle. Just open it and voilà 100% safe and everyone can see its empty. And they dont throw shells everywhere.

I got mine order today .. I can’t wait!.
Love Hickok’s videos and he always makes great points but I would like to mention that with a revolver like this you don’t have only two choices for self defense ammo - 38 special +p or full power 357. There are many loads that are more like 38 special +p+ if there were such a thing. Speer makes the Short Barrel Gold Dot 135 grain 357 and Buffalo Bore has two or three lower recoil low flash 357’s that would be perfect for the model 60.
Just my two cents.
I like his guidance to shoot the Magnums at the beginning of a range session.
I have a pro-shop model 60, .357 with a 3" barrel. I love that thing! I just usually carry my G43.
That's my carry pistol. Never leaves my side. It been a great gun for as long as I had it.
Can I ask what type of holster you chose?
I would actually love to have one of those. But I currently have an airweight in 38 or 38 + p. I have a couple of other 38 but this one here is great because it just fits my overall side pocket. I call it my gut buster. You're not going to shoot no long-distance shots through it , it's my for up close and personal. I wish that had maybe a 357 sometime for concealed carry but 38 + P will do a wonderful job. I think the last 357 I had why is a Ruger Security Six . It was a wonderful gun but I traded it off some 25 or 30 years ago. Thank you sir for another wonderful video.
I need someone to send him the Revolver George Clooney aka "Seth Gecko" from The movie "From Dusk till Dawn." That revolver stole my heart ever since I saw it and I know for sure evryone would love to see Hickock bring out those monster targets again.
Love the revolver videos man, keep it up!
Love the videos man! Greetings from Michigan!
Hickok is roasting now! The world is definitely a new place. Great videos!
Hey mr. Hickok!!! Been watching your videos for a little while now and I absolutely love the content, I recommend your channel to many. And I have a quick question, would you ever consider reviewing scopes? Maybe give a run down of sighting in a scope or iron sights and scope/sight terms and jargon?
I have one. I love it. I only shoot 38 specials out of it. it is more accurate than i thought i would be. Love it
I love the revolvers!!
Much thanks to you Hickok45
Now I’ve got over 10!
I barely watch these videos. I just love this dude and his content and fully think he deserves a sub.
The sound is perfect
I have a 3", it's a great little kit gun. Magnums are a handful, but if you practice with them they're totally manageable, at least with the 3". I put hogue grips on mine and it fit's my hands real well. The phrase, "carry alot and shoot a little" is exactly right. But you should shoot it full magnum now and then if you're going to carry it. The more full magnums you shoot through it the more the confidence comes up and the fear/anticipation of the POP declines.
Couldn't agree more. My favorite caryy is a 640 Pro (357) that I carry with 38+P. I like the weight it is and easily conceals in my front pocket. I have a .44 and a .460 XVR so recoil isn't something I always avoid, but the .38 in my 640 just makes sense.
Appreciate yer no BS honesty.
Have had one of these for 2 years and absolutely love it. Polished it up to a bright mirror finish. However, contemplating dropping coin on a M19 Carry Comp. The J Frame is great and have 4 of them, but shooting 357 out of it does a number on your hand after a couple cylinders; hence my inquiry into the 19 Carry Comp.
Can I ask what type of holster you chose?
Just bought a 60-10, very excited to keep it for life
I have the 360, same gun but blued out with tan rubber grips. You put it quite well. Firing .357 magnum out of those will sting just a bit. Its not unmanageable, but you will feel it. I fire it with .38+ like you did. If you use regular .38, it is a fun gun to fire.
You should make a video showing your top (whatever number you want) guns.
Wow, those magnums do some fireball...
And ring the Gong is always liked!
Nice review, I wish someone would do a side by side comparison of this and the Taurus 605!
Taking care of on-line desperadoes for almost 14 years!
Have the cousin 649 with a shrouded hammer. Did put hogue grip to help with recoil. But like you said, you have to practice with 357 mag in it. I love mine! Thank you!
Love watching your video's, very informative👍
Nice!! I have an older pre-lock one i bought new years ago and still carry it regularly. :)
I love .357 Magnum ... I have a Uberti "Western" Cattleman II 1873 revolver and a Henry Big Boy lever gun in .357. Fantastic caliber.
I have a 3” with adjustable sights - it’s a Honey.
And - eat your heart out - a matching piece in .22 Lr. 😊
@@nicknovak4086 Nice Nick. What model .22 is it? I Have a 3" 60, a 5" 627, and a 6" 66. I'm looking for a 3" or 4" .22
@@bdh3949 it’s a 63-5. Also 3” w/ target sights
I've shot over 250,000 rounds of 12 gauge thru my trap guns. Believe me, heavy recoiling guns are the favorites of "beginners" only.
That is a lot of money haha, especially during covid prices
@@Silverado-nw2lj I got over it 5 years ago. Just some local shooting and card playing these days.
@@oldad6207 yeah haha
My dad used to call me a smartaleck :'-( getting old sucks lol good work Hickok's!! Another good video!
Nice video as always. I’ve been carrying my model 60 for 15 years and agree completely with the .38+p ammo being plenty the handful for a defensive situation. I enjoy range .38’s at the range and the step up to the +p is noticeable but manageable. It’s reasonable to conclude that a hornaday ftx backed by a +p charge would positively change the course of an assailant’s immediate behavior. I reserve my magnum rounds for my house guns the 686+ and the 19 k comp. a two handed grip in the comfort of my home is reliable, but cowboy style single handed shooting this model 60 with full house .357 mags will be left up to somebody else. My 2 cents.
Mornin,Sir. When a man the size of Hickock emphasizes recoil, its got some recoil.
I amend that
Recoil is a funny thing and has little to do with your size.
I have a S&W 332 Ti AirLite .32 H&R Magnum - pre lock, 11 oz. empty, 6 shot. Fires all .32 ammo, even ACP, I like it !
I can almost hear shells and brass when Hickhock45 walks
One pistol I wish I never sold, now I can't afford another. Dumbass me.
I also bought one and sold it. Worst mistake ever and had to get another one.
How many times I’ve said that about how many guns I’ve had over the years. SMH
Sound like we are the same person
Hickok u r alot braver than me shooting hot 357s in a jframe and i love 357 its one of my favorite pistol rounds
I have a Taurus model 605 which is not as good as a Smith, but I do like it a lot! It’s good for concealin’ and I usually just shoot .38 Special +P but I like having the option to shoot .357! I swap back and forth between my 605 and my Ruger LCP II
thanks for the advice I was going to get a model 60 in 357 but after hearing what you had to say I'm after the model 36 or 60 in 38 special
Thanks for all you do!!
I'll always have a few wheel guns. My Model 60 has 3 inch barrel and adjustable sights. Great shooter.
Man that's clean. Morning everyone
I carry an airweight .38 everyday at work. Very concealable. I work in a high crime area and don't want to be unarmed. Every gun has its place. The Glock 19 is in the backpack and on me when out of work. I have found this diversity very important. It can also be a good dual gun back up option. The airweight in my opinion is a necessity.
I had a .38 airweight & sold it due to didn't like training with it. Made my hand buzz... uncomfortable. Got a S&W model 60 stainless & love it.
I agree. One controllable, well placed round is worth more than 12 flinched rounds.
