There’s a 2” Model 60 calling my name in the consignment case at the lgs, along with a 2” 64 singing the same song. So far I’ve been able to come home without them, because I want to reduce numbers, but they are small, don’t take up much space….
I bought my snubby Model 60 back in the early 1980s. There was a huge gun store that was advertising them for a ridiculous discount, so I made sure to be there at opening to grab one. This store was known to be crooked, and all their salesmen were [bleep]. I walked right back to the gun counter and said I'd like to buy the advertise Model 60. The salesman said he didn't recommend it. He recommended something else, because the new Model 60s were known for being complete garbage. I had to argue with the guy for ten minutes before he'd finally agree to sell me one, and he didn't seem happy.
Classic lost leader, and they were trying hard to steer people to something else.
My Model 60 still works great.
