Model 66-2 Snubbie

[Joe S.]

Seein the shiny colt in the other thread made me wanna post this one of ours. I bought it a while back and jnew that dad liked it so i "gave" it to him. He keeps it at his house but anytime we shoot he always brings it out for me to play with. Its a looker. And a shooter.

And here's what it looks like with a barrel just a silly 1/2" longer, which allows a very useful full-length ejector rod. :wink:

And this shows it's almost identical in length and height to a Colt Commander. The revolver's frame is thinner than the 1911's, but of course the cylinder is fatter than any part of the 1911.

 

[Joe S.]

Thats a great length as well

 

[Joe S.]

They could have used that extra length ejector rod on mine if they had put a full underlug. Wuda been better.

 

[Heliman]

THAT is a clean gun. :wink:

 

[The Sturminator]

Hmmm, I do love my Ruger's, but there is not much like a sweet hunk of clean Smith & Wesson Stainless! Nice wheelie, Joe!

 

[Joe S.]

Thanks! I like em both about the same. But i tend to shoot my Rugers more.

Great looking 66 Joe. And I agree, they're an outstanding CCW. This one has been traveling with me for 18 years:

 

[Joe S.]

Nice one Lee!

 

[J. R. WEEMS]

A GREAT gun-- sort of sorry I sold mine some time back-- I still have the Stags and tyler, if they might be needed???

 

[Joe S.]

The Tyler might if you'll separate? What we talkin?

I have a Rossi that I think is a clone of that model. I just picked it up in a trade and haven't even shot it yet. I'll have to give it a good workout and see how it performs for me. This is currently my largest double action revolver--it joins an SP-101 and a Smith 642 in my collection. (I have some single actions that are much larger.)

From what I've gathered so far, it could turn out to be a great gun, notwithstanding the poo-pooing often directed at the Brazilian brands. It fits my hand nicely, shows really good fit and finish, locks up reasonably tight... we shall see what it can do at the range.

What else can you tell us about your real SmiffinWesson? I don't know what comprises a -2, except the obvious and important fact that it's from before the Hilary hole era.

 

[WendyZXZ]

Those are great looking revolvers!

 

[Joe S.]

My dad has a no dash 66. It has stainless steel front and rear sights, recessed cylinder and i believe pinned bbl. mine is not recessed, has black sights and no pinned bbl. but it does have diring pin on the hammer. Other than that, i am unsure of the differences. HTH

Well, here's mine:

 

[Joe S.]

Hey is that a 65?? Those are nice! Couple friends have those!

 

[jeffnles1]

Joe,
if you're talking mine right above, it's a rather beat up Model 60-14.

 

[Joe S.]

Ha if i had counted the rounds in the speed loader id have known it was a j frame. Doh

 

[montegomx70]

the best looking snubbie ever made in my opinion.
