    I have a saved search on GB for 60-18, the 5-inch J frame.

    A few weeks ago I spotted a K6 on a range in Spokane. The rangemaster said it had been a rental gun for two years with no major issues. I would assume mostly 38 Special ammo and a less-than-ideal maintenance regimen.

    Any .357 I get is going to see a Specials to Magnums ratio of 100-1 (at least) so that’s encouraging.

    You and me both. I've only seen one in the flesh ever. It was majorly worn with questionable lockup, endshake, etc. Figure someone hammered it with a lot of 357. Cabela's wasn't willing to talk price on what I saw as a project gun so took a pass on it. But balance and looks were very, very nice. Would probably make a nice trail gun. Been looking intermittently ever since.

    The 3" 60-10 looks like a mini-686 to me... Which is why I just had to have one. It's a nice shooting and nice packing little gun. Full house .357 is pretty sporty, being that it's only a ~22oz gun... but its a nice option. I feed mine mostly .38 and middle of the road .357.

    I had a 3” K6S at one point. Nice gun; no issues.

    That’s an intriguing little gun that I’ve never heard of. It looks a little like a Franklin Mint Model 29 miniature replica.
