Talo is a large distributor, that has commissioned several different limited editions from Colt, Ruger, S&W, and possibly others. Similar to what Lipseys or Cabelas has done. I am told this S&W M60 Pro in .38 Special is a Talo limited edition "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

They only sell to Talo dealers so they are more or less limited editions besides quantities.

I confirmed it does not accept .357 cases. There are several of them on Gunbroker right now. "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

I've seen a few in person and the engraving is even better than it looks in the pictures. I'm hoping TALO does a line of engraved Blackhawks in the future.

They've spec'd a number of good looking and functional handguns that I've seen. I'm a little disappointed in the new TALO 1911 in 38 Super. Not much to it except a better set of sights.
