So today my boss came back early. I picked up the Smith and Wesson 66 for 300 bucks with aftermarket grips and original box. All I need now is the thumb latch and screw which I ordered today.. He also gave me some ammo. I put the original grips back on. I love the classic look.

Nice, i like the original look.

Nice. Good shooting.

nice stubby..

Good for you on a great deal and nice gun. I like the older smiths. Would love to get a 66.

Excellent choice!!!

Yeah I saw that the model number is 66-3. I am trying to find out when it was manufactured.

jermz between 1986-1994

That's a real beauty. And I know they are simple but I love the orange S&W front sight. Same style on my 645. Enjoy!

thanks Wolfy!

Now you need to shoot it. Looks good.

yeah I am planing on going to BA this week to try her out.

I will be there Sun

If you go Wed, I will bring a variety of loads for you to try

I love your revolvers, I see we have similar tastes.

 

btw, those wood grips are gonna hurt shooting 357 mag loads, but not so much with 38s. So if you plan on shooting alot with that bad boy, you might wanna keep those rubber grips handy.

Thanks a lot. Yeah I cant imagine shooting to many rounds with the wood grips, I just love the way they look. When I go shooting I am definitely putting the rubber grips back on.
