Yes it is. I picked one up at Collectors in Stoneham in Feb. Two hundred rounds through it so far, mostly 357. Comfortable grip and the other night I put 3 out of 5 rounds into a copy of the Ace of Spades at 8 yards. Figuring 8 yards is combat range and I'm not a great shot. I'm lucky if I put 3 out of 8 with my Ruger 45.
Ive been looking for one of these as well. Can you share what the going rate is?

I paid $643, plus tax.
Where did you find it? I have only ever seen one, and it was at Nicks Sport Shop in Palmer I believe. I stoped in on the way back from Thanksgiving dinner and was drooling at one that was on the used gun wall. Had it been a more convienient time, it would have followed me home.
I got mine at Four Seasons. Fantastic revolver. I would say it's the best grip on a J frame I've ever felt. The action is nice and smooth, and mine has performed very well at the range. You could probably have a dealer of your choice order one for you.

Got mine at Collectors in Stoneham. They update their site once a week or so but did not see one in stock moments ago. Like O/U said probably have to order one.
Contacted Dennis at First Defense on Sunday about ordering me one... he order one from one of his distributors on Monday and it showed up Tuesday (FAST). I picked it up last night and was able to make it out to the range today. I am very impressed with this revolver. Some quick details...
The 3" Pro Series Model 60 isn't much more than the base model 3" 60. The difference is something like $50... and here's what you get...
-Trijicon night sight
-Recessed target crown
-Glass bead finish
-Stippled and checkered laminate wood grips. Probably one of the best feeling grips I've ever shot on a J frame revolver... and they look REALLY nice too.
-Chamfered charge holes
I was impressed with this models accuracy in double action. In SA it was obviously very accurate. Function was flawless as was expected. The fit and finish are both excellent.
If you were considering one of these... get one, you will not be dissapointed.
ETA: here's a pic (this is not my pic, found it on GB)...

Wow I didnt know a dealer could get one that fast! Can I ask what First Defense is charging for one? Thanks!
If a distributor has a gun in stock, they can get it to a dealer right quick. If they don't have it in stock...
