I bought this revolver when your brother reviewed it first. It is brutal with full power 158gr and the stock grips. Tried Pachmayr, finally settled on Hogue grips and it is bearable. Would rather fire my Model 69 44Mag any day. The Trijicon insert was dim when it was new, now it is non functional, of course. The barrel cylinder gap is large enough to pepper my face with powder at least every other shot. Strangely enough I still have it and like it. But I certainly would not recommend it to very many people. I have the Simply Rugged holster to match and is sweet to carry. Someone tell Smith&Wesson to bring back the 5 inch model 60. That was the sweetheart of this model.
A real beauty. Revolvers are top choices for serious carry. What I love about 357 is it takes it out of the Self Defense on humans class and makes it worthy of ranch and outdoor work.
Thanks very much for the outstanding review. Much appreciated. I carried a J Frame as a backup for many years and am glad that Smith & Wesson continues to offer these from their Performance Center.
Keeping up the good work! Keep them coming, cause we will keep watching! Gotta love a S&W revolver on sweet trigger. I've had 2 one was stolen other sold due to wifes illness she is a well and cancer free. She told me to get what I had to sell, told her in due time. Don't think she knew that I had a rare model. That would be hard to replace (not telling anyway) its saved the family. So it did it's job. Any love S&W and family really is all that matters. My 2 cents
This is my all time favorite gun and it's specifically because of Jeff's videos (and his blog!) Thanks for bringing this one back, and for continuing the channel!
@@lionelhutz3142 I don't own a 19. Would love to. The extra round would be nice. I did find the Trijicon lacking and I replaced it with a gold bead sight. Love it.
Bought one of these 2 months ago. Barrel was misaligned right out of the box. Sent it in for repair. Got it back a month later, it was still misaligned. Not sure if S&W actually did anything. So I sent it back again. This time, I was told that the gun could not be fixed, and that I would get a replacement under warranty. WTF? Happy that it's being replaced, but 2 months to do so? May be the last new S&W that I buy for a while. And from what I see, Colt is no better these days.
Great review as always! I bought my first Simply Rugged Holster and Chesty Puller rig bout 2 months ago, and it is the nicest quality and best designed chest holster I've ever owned. Thanks Boge
Echoing what others are saying, thank you so much for keeping the channel going. We really appreciate the insights. I bought one of these back in March. Didn't know I wanted it until I saw it Ha Ha Ha. Bought a DeSantis thumb break holster and it is my new constant companion when bowhunting. I keep "social work' Hornady loads in it until I head into the woods, then i change to snake "repellent.' (A constant concern in Florida I assure you). The gun is very accurate and a joy to shoot, plus it just looks so damn good!
I saw Jeff's review on this gun. Ran out and bought one. Still have it til this day. Great memory for me. Will NEVER part with it. It is my Jeff Quinn gun. Really miss him, sure you do too. God bless you Boge.
I always appreciate your presentation. Very informative and you always seem to cover all the features that make the gun desirable. Thank you! PS, as soon as I can afford one, I would like to add a nice j frame to my rotation.
@@lionelhutz3142 the tritium insert on the sight is pretty much useless I swapped it for an XS Tritium dot sight. The action is smooth and it's light weight so full 357 loads are a handful but not unmanageable.
Love your videos. I had this gun and sold it for the classic version of this... only because I like the old stainless and full round barrel look better.
Hey Boge, That's a pretty slick looking 3 inch "J-Frame"... traditionally the 3 inch versions look awkward, but with the flat sided, full lug and crowned barrel along with the traditional K-frame adjustable rear sight it is pretty appealing to me ';-) Great Review...Thanks!
Good night, that recoil looked vicious. I always hrard the 357 magnum got its one shot stop reputation in part because it acted like a flash bang with all of the flash and concussion from the muzzle..lol
Thanks for the great review and holster reference. I own a different S+W>357 Pro that has the 5" barrel and ;larger frame. It has the same incredible trigger but I'd never try carrying it due to it's size and weight. Your model matches well to my wife's Colt Cobra? 3"357 in many areas which she tends to carry in her handbag ( I warn her constantly about the shortcomings of the off body carry but you know women...). Getting back to that, your friends shoulder carry system seems like the perfect cure for my dilemma. I dont have a lightweight compact carry revolver and dont have the attendant holster to carry it. I have decided to look into to purchasing the holster creating the need to buy just one more S+W in a caliber I already have. My Colt Python's larger frame, cylinder and grip are to bulky for this use. How to justify this...
Jeff’s review of the m60-18 led me to purchase my own example. I’d love to see a video of your insights on it if you still have access to it. It’d be groundbreaking reporting for GunBlast since there is not one single video on TH-cam about it
Thanks for the information on wadcutters. I always like wadcutters for Bullseye and IDPA shooting. Here in California revolvers, which I like, are much easier to get. Since I also fly fish I'll check out the Chesty Puller rig.
Thank for the nice video. God’s blessings be with you and the family always. Idea for a video. What’s your favorite 22mag Revolver? Because it’s hard to pick one 😎 you can make it a six gun review. It’s for my Mom...she likes my Heritage 22lr but it can’t reload very quickly. Thanks again for continuing the gun reviews. You guys are amazing 😊.
@@gunsquawk4443just seeing this comment, do you still prefer the M60 Pro Series over the Kimber 3 inch? I'm also looking at the Ruger SP101 & Colt King Cobra but have heard mixed reviews in Colt etc
I wonder what the ballistic performance of the .357 magnum is out of a 3" barrel. The box lists the ballistic performance out of the 6" & 4" barrel only.
Dumbest thing I ever heard. Your assailant will not know if you shot him 5 or 6 times. Carry speed strips in your pocket, learn how to quickly reload. If you need more than 5 357 rounds, you're knee deep in some bad sh!t!
We build holsters for these almost everyday. great little guns! I love my 3" M60 in .357.
I'm part of this consensus. I put my order in for my M60 Pro about 2 weeks ago.
Thank you for keeping this going. I know Jeff is smiling up in Heaven knowing you are! :)
I make this comment mine
I was like this is not the same guy. May he rest in peace!
Picking up where his brother left off...and quickly becoming the best revolver reviewer on TH-cam. Great presentation of info and specs. Keep it up!
Thank you, sir!

Always loved the little J’s... Love seeing you continuing the channel, has always been one of my favorites! ~God bless

In memory of Jeff. Miss the guy. Keep shooting straight my friend.
He is probably up there doing gun reviews for Jesus
Boge, you are doing great carrying on the Gunblast tradition. Keep up the good work! ...and yes, the 60 perf cntr is a great little carry gun.
Thanks!
Thanks for the review. Jeff is smiling down from heaven. God bless.

If you own one how does this compare to the S&W Model 19 .357 Magnum...and how does that Trijicon front night sight perform?
@@lionelhutz3142 I don't own a 19. Would love to. The extra round would be nice. I did find the Trijicon lacking and I replaced it with a gold bead sight. Love it.
This is my summer carry gun. Winter time with more layers, it's a Glock 48. Great review!
Nice review. Great close up and clear video. Those grips are gorgeous. Thank you.
Thanks!
Awesome S&W Model 60 in 357 magnum. Thanks for showing this gorgeous S&W Revolver, Boge !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A really good review of a nice gun. Once my LGS has some handguns back in stock (cough, cough, cough), I will go check one out!

May be the last new S&W that I buy for a while. And from what I see, Colt is no better these days.
That is not acceptable, neither in the "regular" S&W line, and certainly not from the Performance Center. Please keep me posted.
Great review as always!
I bought my first Simply Rugged Holster and Chesty Puller rig bout 2 months ago, and it is the nicest quality and best designed chest holster I've ever owned.

Wonderful presentation. Your brother is with you in spirit. Continue on his legacy. God bless you your family and the USA
I always appreciate your presentation. Very informative and you always seem to cover all the features that make the gun desirable.
Thank you!
PS, as soon as I can afford one, I would like to add a nice j frame to my rotation.
I had one of these, very very nice j frame!
I have been wanting that revolver since i saw one several years ago. It is on the short list.
Im waiting for my FFL to get mine cant wait to pick it up
Grabbed one of these a couple months ago and I love it! Great video as always and thank you for keeping them going!
How does this compare to a S&W Model 19 .357...and how does that front Trijicon night sight perform?

Great review! I’ve always loved the look of this revolver and it really is, in my mind at least, the best of the double action j frames!
Makes me wanna get one.
Do it. You won't regret it.
Can't find one now lol
At least I can't!
Super good tool❤

I’ve shot this gun at a gun range and it felt good, very smooth and head on for aiming.
That's a gem.
Thanks for keeping it going!! Loved Jeff, love his bro too!!
Very nice review❤
I Love mine. I had to put some pachmyers on it to handle the 357 load. Looks even better with them too.
awesome vid, thanks as always Boge. Hope the family is well

Thanks for the great video. I completely agree about Preferring the 3" barrel. 357 is my "go to" caliber.
Keep the revolver videos moving Boge! Great video!
Great review!
Thanks again Sir for another great video!! God bless you and your family and stay safe!!

In single action it backs up a lot 😊
I wish smith and Wesson would use Hogue wood grips instead of Altamont.
Love me some .357 magnum content
I had one of these... I find I ended up liking and original (standard) model 60 better...for the customization ability and classic lines.
I love this gun as always great video. Great work. God Bless you
Sharp! Good work.
Great firearm great review... Thank you Sir🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🗽🔫
Boge are you familiar with the work being done at Gemini Customs? I’ve been interested in their SP101 and GP100 custom work
I am familiar with them, and have handled them, but I have no experience firing them. They look very nice.

Like the review and the music.

Nice revolver🦅🇺🇸
How do these grips handle recoil with hot 357 verse the regular grips that come on the non pro series?
Wonderfully. To me, these are some of the best factory grips I have ever used.
Can’t decide between this and the kimber 3 inch dasa
I have both. You'll enjoy the Smith more. I guarantee it.
I had same issue and fortunately purchased both in time --each serving its purpose well!
@@gunsquawk4443just seeing this comment, do you still prefer the M60 Pro Series over the Kimber 3 inch? I'm also looking at the Ruger SP101 & Colt King Cobra but have heard mixed reviews in Colt etc

There is a velocity chart in the referenced article.
Boge
Is this a square or round frame grip??
what year did s&w start producing these model 60 pros?
I want one, nice 🔫
I really enjoyed Jeff's reviews; but I now appreciate your reviews quite a bit too Boge.
Beautiful gun, just wish they would chamber it in the 327 fed mag. and get a 6 shot out of it.

Don't play with guns!
Like the newer model 60’s, but I’m not a fan of the Pro version. Ugly!!
That is an ugly revolver, this from a guy who owns a Super Redhawk....
I think it's beautiful, but that's in the eye of the beholder I suppose.
