The Model 60-9 pairs a compact J-frame size with .357 Magnum capability, enabled by the strengthened J-Magnum frame. This provides magnum performance in a small, carry-friendly format while retaining double-action/single-action operation with an exposed hammer.
The stainless steel construction of the barrel, frame, and cylinder offers durability and corrosion resistance. The 2.125-inch heavy barrel with a full underlug adds steadiness, and the five-shot fluted cylinder maintains the classic Model 60 profile.
Sight elements are fixed for simplicity and durability, with a pinned serrated ramp front sight and an integral top-strap groove rear. Black rubber finger-groove grips provide a secure, hand-filling hold on the compact frame.
