My early 66 no dash snubby - gotta get some better wood for it! Now you need some more:) 4" 66 no dash pawnshop find And the 6" 66-1 My favorite (obviously) MSHP - 66-1

Oh, the agony! I'm not fond of rust - at all. However, a 4" is better for in the house and the lighter weight would be good too. But... at the range the HP would be the winner there and I am really liking my HP's. Just can't seem to get past the nightstand - gotta pull the lever for the K frame.

Don't you mean really old and old? I don't see a new Smith in that picture. Love the old one's myself.

I got the .357 for the added weight. This should help dial down the recoil of the .38's you want to shoot and I agree heavy wadcutters 148 - 158 grain seem the easiest. Does your range rent them? Do you know anybody that has one? They are becoming pretty popular. I have not tried the .22...

Yup, nice rig for sure.

Flitz as noted. I would use a clean microfiber cloth as well vs. cotton etc. This Smith 13-2 looked nothing like this when I got it.:what:

Love the 27's only have a couple of long tubes myself. You have a beauty. Here is one unfired since the factory. Then a fired S pre-fix circa my birth year. Tonight cylinders open for a new look.

You are really going to like that one!

Want the pictures as well... Took this 4" Nickel out today for the first time. Never shot a fixed sight K frame before. Must say that is shot very well - shooting hedge apples was fun. I love it. Missed a 3" blued before I was smart enough to know what I missed. Glad you got one...

Well a look at GB completed auctions showed a fairly well worn one for $650 or so that sold. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=308676780 Shorter barrels have gone for $1600 & $2600+ Here is a current one for $895 - you have to judge the finish etc. But it has made...

Guess late '69 or early '70 - ish...

Oh, Heck Yeah! You got a really nice one there.

Oh Baby - gotta lot of love for the 66's. All P&R for me. I really need to clean them up and get some better shots of them. Great guns to shoot. 66-1 6" on top, then the 66 all SS including rear sights 4" and the MSHP 66-1 from below. No dash snubbie with aftermarket grips - gotta...

First thing I did with mine was dry fired it 1,000 times watching football on tv. Then oiled per manual and dry fired it another 1,000 times. Must say that really smoothed out the trigger in no time.:D

Gonna keep it this time?
