Buy the 66. You'll like it better. I almost switched out some "K" frames for a 686 today. Glad I didn't. After I wrote an observation here, I went and shot a friend's 686. Might fine gun, but not as nice as the 13 or 19. IMO.
As far as the "Doesn't shoot 357 mag as well". That is a matter of perception. Throughout all the reports and studies, here seems to be the deal. Realize that the model 13, 19, 65, and 66 were originally built in the early 1970's with the model 19 going back to 1955. At that time, the 357 was mostly the 158 grain bullet. As such, these guns can fire that weight bullet with no problems until the cows come home or until the second coming of Christ. Your choice. As far as shooting other 357 mag rounds such as the 125g, 130'sg, and 140'sg, that is a little different. You can still shoot more rounds of that in the gun than you can outlive without any issues. If you are the type that literally punches out thousands of rounds a year, then there is a slight issue. With a grain bullet less than 158g, there is a slight gap between cylinder and barrel throat. As such, as the bullet if getting to the barrel, gases from behind will sometimes travel around the bullet and hit the barrel which is obviously full of oxygen and can heat the throat. And because the 6 o'clock position has been shaved a little to allow the cylinder to close, this can cause a weakness.
Now, a 125g is obviously the smallest in factory loads. So, the higher you go to 158g, which is what this gun was built for, the less problems. BUT, if you only shot a few hundred rounds here and there, it still wouldn't be problem. Or, anything above the 158g wouldn't be a problem. But you can shoot 158g, any type of factory load or equal hand load, for ever and a day. You can even throw in some 125g for actual home defense and still not have a problem. There are a lot more people who have shot the hell out of the "K" frame with 357 mag who haven't had a problem than those who did have a problem. And those who DID have a problem usually had two things in common. A LOT of shooting with 125g bullets and they didn't clean their weapon as well as they should.
But, all that aside. I personally like the feel and especially the trigger pull of the older double digit "K" frame in 357. That would be the model 13,19,65, and 66. As the cliche says, "They just don't make them like that any more". Later... Mike....
