'''M60 Reising''' (Reising Model 60) is an American semi-automatic carbine chambered in .45 ACP. It is a semi-auto-only variant of the Reising family that uses a closed-bolt, delayed-blowback (“hesitation lock”) system and feeds from detachable box magazines. It is best known for guard and law-enforcement roles during World War II, offering Reising handling and accuracy without fully automatic fire. | |||

Developed by Eugene Reising and manufactured by Harrington & Richardson, the Model 60 was introduced as a semi-automatic-only companion to the Reising Model 50 and Model 55 submachine guns. Contemporary descriptions note that it retained the same general operating system and magazine pattern, but omitted the full-auto capability and used a longer barrel intended to avoid National Firearms Act complications associated with short-barreled/automatic weapons. Production totals were comparatively small, and the type was marketed primarily to factory and railway guards, plant security, and police agencies rather than as a front-line military weapon. | |||
In Vietnam War context, the Model 60 is not commonly documented as a widely issued combat arm compared to standard U.S. and allied rifles and submachine guns. If encountered in the broader Cold War surplus ecosystem, it would most plausibly appear in security or rear-area roles rather than as a typical infantry weapon. | |||

HISTORY
Developed by Eugene Reising and manufactured by Harrington & Richardson, the Model 60 was introduced as a semi-automatic-only companion to the Reising Model 50 and Model 55 submachine guns. Contemporary descriptions note that it retained the same general operating system and magazine pattern, but omitted the full-auto capability and used a longer barrel intended to avoid National Firearms Act complications associated with short-barreled/automatic weapons. Production totals were comparatively small, and the type was marketed primarily to factory and railway guards, plant security, and police agencies rather than as a front-line military weapon.
In Vietnam War context, the Model 60 is not commonly documented as a widely issued combat arm compared to standard U.S. and allied rifles and submachine guns. If encountered in the broader Cold War surplus ecosystem, it would most plausibly appear in security or rear-area roles rather than as a typical infantry weapon.
