Re: S&W Model 60 vs. Zombies! Am I to understand that you are basing a handgun purchase upon 'zombie information'?

Re: S&W Model 60 vs. Zombies! No, I would say that is not the correct understanding. I am interested in a S&W 60 to supplement a S&W 642. It would be more pleasant to fire at the range, and it will shoot .357 unlike the 642. Plus the 60 will aim the same as a 642 so it is good for practice even if on the street I'm shooting the 642. If it is also efficient in the zombie scenario, so much the better. Plus zombies can be a lot of fun if you are into shooting, etc. I wouldn't have a gun that couldn't "kill" a couple of zombies in a pinch.

Re: S&W Model 60 vs. Zombies! To reiterate what Kregener said, "you are basing a handgun purchase upon 'zombie information'?" I don't know what to say. That is probably the worst thing I'd base a firearm purchase on... that being said. A revolver is a better purchase than a pistol.

Re: S&W Model 60 vs. Zombies! Zombies are an allegory/metaphor for sheeple WTSHTF and they're in their roving hoard, rioting and looting phase. Think about it.

Kregener | 07-27-2009 11:25 PM
Re: S&W Model 60 vs. Zombies! No, they are not. Zombies are fictional beings that are impossible to kill unless you put a bullet through their brains. REAL humans will go down from much less. Hey, HE linked the 'zombie site' in reference to his possible gun purchase, not me.

Re: S&W Model 60 vs. Zombies! THye gave the K-bar a 10 - for zombie killing..... I don't think so.... Saiga 12 with some 12 round mags or 20 round drums is THE zombie killer. They don't even list it. Wont see me battling zombies with a revolver unless its a .44 magnum. They also rated the chainsaw as 2.....again ..what is more perfect for zombie killing at close range? K-bar or a chainsaw... They gave 2 handed swords a 5-6 ...yeah right...a Two- handed sword would be the best thing to use that doesn't require ammo/gas. These guys are rookies!

I have that combination: S&W 642 for carry, and S&W 60 for the home. Other than the difference in weight between the two, shooting them is basically the same (given use of same ammo), so practice with one carries over to the other. As for the zombie stuff, using theoretical zombies as your attackers in discussions that evaluate different self-defense methods has an advantage. You're not going to be called racist (from those assuming you're preparing for a race war), or anti-government (from those assuming you're preparing to overthrow the government), or paranoid (from those assuming anyone with a gun must be lusting to shoot anyone walking by). Because who will take the pro-zombie side of an argument? :wink:

Re: S&W Model 60 vs. Zombies! I played the zombie killing game, and the weapons of choice is the Barret 50 BMG in that one shot could go through several zombies with one shot.

Re: S&W Model 60 vs. Zombies! Thompson sub-machine gun. When you care enough to send them back to the grave, old school.

Re: S&W Model 60 vs. Zombies! +1 Saiga 12. A bunch of 00 and 000 Buck will put those zombies down for good.

Re: S&W Model 60 vs. Zombies! The model 60 has evolved over the years, they are not all the same. The originals had a very short grip and S&W stated "do not use +P ammo in the model 60". They have later versions that will shoot +P and I believe even make the gun in a .357 magnum now. Many of the newer model 60s have a longer grip also. My model 60 was made in 1975, I bought it new in 1976 IIRC. It is a classic design, everyone should have one.

Nice....but not nearly messy enough! Shock and awe is a secondary requirement of zombie slaughtering.

Re: S&W Model 60 vs. Zombies! For zombies I prefer my PPSh 41, with a dozen 71 round mags I would rock their world. I would use my machete for up close encounters when I ran out of ammo...unlikely I would run through 850 rounds in a single setting but you know those silly zombies... For real life however I carry a S&W 325PD. This is an airweight N frame in 45acp with a 2 1/2 inch barrel. Full moon clips make for a fast reload and I carry Corbon DPX. This is backed up by a 2 inch S&W Model 12, an airweight K frame in 38. For it I carry 2 speed strips, also loaded with DPX. And in either a pocket or concealment t-shirt is a Kel-Tec PF-9 with one extra mag. (yep...DPX again...lol)

Not so theoretical anymore, as TPTB have been playing around with putting rabies proteins in the vaccines

The Model 60 and 642, being J-frames, hold only 5 rounds each. Developing your reloading skills is highly recommended.

Re: S&W Model 60 vs. Zombies! From the link the OP provided on the S&W M60: Quote:
With minimal moving parts, it's far more reliable than any semi-automatic pistol, and cleaning requires little more than 5 seconds and a can of WD40�. The probability of this gun jamming is basically zero....
Umm, two issues in two sentences that have me doubting the reliability of the information on the site (zombies or not): 1) Do not use WD40 to clean a gun, especially a revolver. WD40 only displaces water, and it is not a lubricant or a decent solvent. It also takes a lot longer than five seconds to properly clean a revolver. It takes me about 30 minutes unless I pull the side plate, something I may do once a year or so with pocket carry guns that collect pocket lint. A Lewis Lead Remover, a leadaway cloth for stainless steels, dental picks, chamber brushes, a soft tootbrush, a bore snake, solvent, and lubricant comprise my revolver cleaning kit. I will replace separate solvent and lubricants with CLP when shooting just lead. 2) Revolvers do jam. I have seen it and experienced it. The most common cause is unburned powder under the extractor star. That alone will tie up a revolver very quickly, and it takes a bit of time to diagnose and resolve. It is another reason why one should take more than five seconds to clean said revolver. The cylinder under the ejector star should be clean and dry; oil here will trap those unburned powder grains, creating the jam. Another issue I have seen is the older S&Ws will have the ejector rod back out under recoil. This will cause the user to not be able to move the cylinder to the loading position, creating a very nice brick. The new models eliminated this issue by using a left-handed thread on the ejector rod so that recoil tightens this joint. An S&W M60 is a fine revolver, but zombie web sites are not reliable sources of information on firearms.

Most liberals. When it comes to gun owners they'd rather take the side of doggie poo.

Re: S&W Model 60 vs. Zombies! I like the MPA-71 better actually but it is a heavy beast...made from an FN/FAL lower, Cobra upper, some AR furniture, uses Suomi mags, has a great trigger....it's the Frankengun! But it shoots like a dream and will accept the 9mm suppressor I already have stamped.

Well, that may be true; we'll have to see when we come across a few of them. Revolvers are limited to 5-6 rounds; but they are much more simple to use. No safety, don't have to worry if you put one in the chamber, just pull the trigger... Most of the time, you won't need more than 5-6 rounds anyways
