Based on the stainless steel project of the S&W M36 Chiefs Special, the Tanaka S&W M60 is modeled after the classic 3 inch J Frame revolver, showcasing exceptional detail and a timeless charm through its intricate craftsmanship and reliable functionality. S&W's customisation division, the Performance Center, was established in 1990 by two skilled in-house gunsmiths. Initially, the aim was to produce specialised competition models based on their own firearms. However, with the introduction of specialised CNC machines, the department evolved to design and manufacture new models from scratch, selling prototypes exclusively to distributors. Today, the department manages a broad range of tasks, from producing premium models in S&W's regular lineup to limited-edition items, uniquely designed models, and products with special features, as well as repairing standard-line firearms. All production staff are specialists with experience in handgun shooting, and their high level of technical skill remains unchanged.
Tanaka reproduces this M60 3-in revolver as a Tanaka Heavyweight variant with the Pegasus Version 3 gas system, enhancing actual shooting performance and maximising the potential of the original Pegasus system, resulting in better accuracy and consistent performance in altered temperature states. The Pegasus gas system employs a revolver cylinder for the dual purpose of storing gas and BBs. Gas is filled at the rear of the cylinder, while the dedicated BB channel, located at one of the front chambers, accommodates 10 rounds of 6mm BBs. To load each chamber, simply spin the cylinder to insert a single BB into each of the six chambers. Once depleted, the loading process can be repeated. Similar to its Japanese industry counterparts, Tanaka craftsmanship is exemplary. The smooth operation of the cylinder, trigger engagement, and hammer or cylinder release showcases an impressive level of Japanese artistry.
