Up until now I only owned Ruger and Smith's. Well stopped at my LGS for the first time in a long while. In the display case sat a really nice looking taurus model 66. It's in good shape and seemed to lock up nice and had a clean trigger . It was 350 bucks. My brother was with me said he toss in a 100 bucks as a congratulations gift for the birth of my little one. So for 250 bucks how could I say no?
Anyways I used the Taurus serial number look up tool and no year came up,.serial number is LE618178, it's a 6" blued model as pictured (poorly) below. I sent an email to taurus to see if they can get some more info on it's age . Does anyone have an idea of approximate age? I believe it to be an 80's model. Anyone have good experiences with these? How do they fair with .357's (158 grain). I do plan to run .357s for hunting and shoot mainly 38's out of it for target.Hopefully will pick it up in a week or so (silly NY).
Excuse the photo quality. I just took a quick shot at the store.
Edit: received an email back from Taurus saying the gun was made 9/23/1992
