I took a mental health day from work today and went to my club to run some .38s through my Model 28-2, 10-8, and Colt Detective Special. It's a few miles from a gun shop that I've spent a lot of money in the past and a little voice inside my head said I should stop there on the way home. I found the voice impossible to ignore and upon entering, I saw a very nice looking S&W Model 66-2 with the 2.5" barrel.
It came home with me.
As purchased it wore a rubber Hogue Monogrip. Those don't fit my hands at all, but I had this set of Thai Magnas and an old FIE grip adapter in my stash.
It was super clean inside. These two pics are before I cleaned anything.
From what I could tell it's hardly been shot since leaving Springfield in the early/mid-80s. I'm pretty sure it was shot with .38s due to crud rings inside each charge hole, but a Brownell's chamber brush took care of them.
And the best part? I paid $720 out the door for it.
If I can sneak out to the range again on Sunday I'll be able to provide a range report.
