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.
Crafted for serious collectors and tactical enthusiasts who want true mechanical realism without the legal burdens of traditional firearms, this Japanese masterpiece by Tanaka Works truly stands in a league of its own. Based on the Smith and Wesson M60 Performance Center with a three-inch barrel, this Version 2 non-firing replica uses a specialized metal-infused heavyweight composite to perfectly match the heft, cylinder timing, and trigger pull of the famous J-frame revolver. The gorgeous matte silver five-shot system features a double and single action mechanism, a working extractor star, and authentic flat-sided frame contours complete with highly realistic markings. Serving as an exceptional training aid and a beautiful display piece that easily meets global import rules, this premium package includes the model gun itself, five lifelike model cartridges, a dedicated loading tool, and a comprehensive technical manual.
This model gun provides an incredibly realistic manual-of-arms experience and a faithful aesthetic reproduction that retains its value as a premium collector's piece.
