I know of one 60-1 [ made about 1974 ] whose cylinder was punched out to accept 357 shells back in 77-78.

Prim [ that was his nickname ] shot standard velocity 38's for practice and finished each session with 5 rds of the 357's. He did that with much consternation from all of the investigators shooting with him, but the gun held through several years of this before we went different paths.

I don't suggest it, but that gun held with higher pressures than a 38+p. That 60-1 from the late 70's was not rated for .38+p, let alone 357's.

Just some reference on the subject for others to ponder relative pressures in these model 60's.
