WHY do we continue to cling to them?
Because they are cute! Honestly, I can't think of another answer. When I feel the need to carry a snubby, I use my Taurus which has a seven shot cylinder rather than the Smith's five shots. The Model 60 is iconic and I still enjoy owning it but I admit that it remains a safe queen. Stu |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: We all own variations on this theme, though this one is nicer than most. The general type remains, perhaps, the best selling revolver today. Yet if honestly considered, this is one of the most impractical handguns in the defensive world of 2018-2019. WHY do we continue to cling to them? Image below from Stu Wayne - Image Title: photos Image Info: This Model 60 Chief's Special in .38 Special dates from prior to 1971 at least. (The previous owner bought it then.) It has had the hammer bobbed to prevent snagging, the chambers chamfered for faster reloading, the cylinder release replaced with a later teardrop style for speed-loader clearance and the action smoothed, although the springs remain at full strength for reliability.  |
