Hi just want to start off by saying hello and merry christmas/happy holidays to everone as I am new to this group. I have two questions about my 4" S&W model 66.
1) I have heard that the 66's cousin, the model 19 had bad problems with the frame cracking from shooting too many magnum loads through it. Does this apply to the 66?. My thoughts are that stainless steel is stronger and should'nt but I want to get some more opinions.
2) I bought this gun used from the local pawn shop for $300 2 years ago. The previous owner had stamped there intials into the left side of the frame with a lettering punch. Is there anyway to get rid of this or am I going to have to live with it?. It is a great shooting gun.
Thanks,
Brian Craig
