Thanks,
I recently sold that flat latch, pre-36. I had the original receipt, it was $73, I think, in 1956. As nice as it is/was, I just didn’t shoot it much. Not with having the other two. If there was one negative, it was that it had an extremely thin, and vertically serrated, trigger. Not easy to shoot well. And not because it is a snub! The two newer j frames in that picture, both have better triggers and are easily more accurate. So now, while the j frame family has lost a 38 member, it picked up a 22 in the form of a 4” model 63. Another, very nice j frame. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: The 1956 flat latch is a pretty cool collectible but I always thought those adjustable sighted 60-9 models were pretty slick.
