I'm 50! Old School! After owning MANY firearms over the years and then selling/trading almost all of them while my kiddos grew up, I'm slowly rebuilding a small collection for the gun safe.
I purchased a new S&W M66 4" yesterday ($450. + tax) for what may be my only revolver. Wasn't thrilled about the little lock thingy, though the transfer bar redesign seems good, and what a sweet trigger, and overall feel and balance!
My only previous Smiths were an early M59 double stack 9mm that ALWAYS locked the slide back with 1-3 rounds left in the mag, and an early 586 that would lock-up shooting hot loads??
Did I choose wisely on the M66? I've been out of touch with guns for quite awhile. What were the "dark days" for S&W I see folks discussing?
Thanks!
