The Pro Series 60-15 retains the Model 60 lineage as the first production stainless-steel revolver while adding Performance Center touches. The action is factory tuned for a smooth double-action pull and a crisp single-action break, complemented by a smooth combat trigger and exposed hammer.
Its 3-inch stainless barrel is full-lug, slab-sided, and precision crowned, striking a balance between sight radius and carry length. Chamfered charge holes speed reloads, and the five-shot cylinder features flats and no fluting.
The revolver ships with two factory grips: a finger-groove laminated wood set for recoil control and a slim walnut boot grip for discreet carry. A dovetailed red fiber-optic front sight pairs with a micrometer-adjustable rear, offering high-visibility sighting in varying light.
Finished in matte stainless steel with subtle “Pro Series” script, an internal keyed lock, and a serial prefix CZJ, this U.S.-made revolver represents a bridge between standard production and full custom shop builds, providing collectors with factory performance upgrades in a limited-production package.
