My primary carry gun is a pre-agreement model 60. I assumed before I bought it the gun would be only marginally accurate and uncomfortable to shoot with full house loads.
I was rock-solid wrong on both counts. It's not a match pistol, no, but surprisingly accurate out to 25 yards. The factory original black rubber grips were ugly, ugly, ugly, and didn't absorb recoil very well, so I replaced them with a set of Badger laminated wood stocks. They fit my hand much better, accommodate my least finger, and give me a surer grip—and absorb recoil reasonably well.
It's by no means a gun I'd enjoy putting several hundred rounds of factory ammunition through without a break, but it's not significantly more uncomfortable to shoot than a snub-nosed K frame. I'd guess I've run 1,000 rounds through it, both full house and light-loaded target ammunition, and haven't encountered a single problem.
