My most accurate revolver:
A cult classic!
Another outstanding S&W:
My most common EDC:
My own Taurus Old Model 66. It's from 1982-82, IIRC.
Another Taurus Model 66 variant, a Model 689 from 1990 or so:
I have one of those, but I’m out of ammo.

Mine has a hammer block as well. Hmm. I also know that mine has 2 pins on the hand for rotating the cylinder. I read somewhere that they removed one after a lawsuit by S&W in the mid 80's. Maybe there's someone out there that can shed a bit more light on this."How did you figure out what year yours was made?"
I think I found a serial number list online. The older Taurus Model 66's had serial numbers that began with a letter IRRC. My memory may be imperfect, but I think they moved from an internal hammer lock to a transfer bar around 1983 or so. Mine is one of the later ones to have the hammer block.

Relative rarity- plus they look cool. Thats all.The fixed sights were the only thing I didn't like about my Dan wesson, what's the appeal?
My 8(?) Barrel had been overtightened at some point and the point of impact would rotate around as the cylinder gap was changed, no way to correct it and it was before I knew replacement barrels were available . the snubby barrel shot to poa. Sadly I sold that gun for $200 and it wasn't terribly long ago - about 7-8 years.Relative rarity- plus they look cool. Thats all.
This is pretty much the long and short of it:
