Wife got the old model 60 and I moved to the 3 series. I use a 360PD and a 386 7 shot. I've carried those 3 series enough to wear the finish off them. The 60 and 360 are loaded with silver tips even though I can shoot 357s in the 360. I use 357s in the 386 with the first shot a shot shell. I use both for riding a motorcycle or the tractor. The shot shell is for the farm and snakes. I wish they'd make a 3 series in 45 Colt and not break the bank. Yes I know they make a 329 and a 325. The 45 Colt would be perfect and I could use full power loads. I missed a deal on a 329 years ago, $600, and been kicking myself ever since. Somebody changed the sights to RR and WO, just what I'd want. The 329, I'd have to use light loads to be accurate and the 45ACP doesn't have the power the 45 Colt has. I've also been looking at the model 69. A little heavier than the 329, but it's a 5 shot. Just haven't found the right deal
