S&W model 66

Dang, Drang beat me to Jim's checklist.

KeeFus, if your in NC (IIRC), keep an eye on the police supply places like Lawmans and Dana Safety Supply. They get confiscated firearms from Departments, can find some good deals there.

I know where there is an early model 65 (fixed rear sight) at a reasonable price.

This is my 1'st post on this forum and I look forward to posting many more. The Model 66 no dash they dash 4s are truly great revolvers, once S&W went to MIM parts and the dreaded lock the older precook examples became more sought after. I carried one for years as a duty gun before my department switched over to semi autos. One of my favorites are the 3" versions.

Yes, a 3" 19 or 66 is on my list of things I "need" at some point.

Be aware that a non-dash Model 66 has a tendency to seize up as it heats up. Mine will fire about eighteen rounds of magnum ammo before the cylinder starts to stick. It's fine with .38 ammo. Later engineering changes eliminated that tendency.

Trooper - what kind of sights are those on this gun?

Thanks.
