What's Included
- Smith & Wesson Model 60-4 .38 Special revolver with installed aftermarket black rubber finger-groove grips
The Model 60-4 is a stainless, double-action/single-action J-frame revolver with an external hammer and a five-round cylinder. Built in the United States, it combines compact dimensions with a 3-inch barrel length for a balanced small-frame configuration.
The barrel is stainless steel with a full underlug, and it wears a pinned, serrated ramp front sight. At the rear is an adjustable, micrometer-style sight, giving the revolver a precise sight picture for various loads and distances.
This example is a pre-lock frame with no internal lock. Factory markings include the yoke cut "MOD. 60-4" designation, the S&W crest on the sideplate, and the barrel rollmark ".38 S.&W. SPECIAL CTG."
Aftermarket black rubber finger-groove grips are installed, providing a secure, hand-filling profile on the J-frame.
