If ya had a choice, what would ya choose? A Ruger Speed Six 2 3/4 barrel 357mag or a S&W 66 with a 3in barrel? I have the Ruger. But I am eyeing a 66 for sale.

If you want / need a better trigger that will NOT last as long with magnums ,then go with the S&W 66.If ya had a choice, what would ya choose? A Ruger Speed Six 2 3/4 barrel 357mag or a S&W 66 with a 3in barrel? I have the Ruger. But I am eyeing a 66 for sale.
What he said66 with a rare 3"? Not even close to a contest; all day long. The 66 also has adjustable sights versus fixed for the Speed Six. There's a mint 3' 66 in my LGS on consignment; owner will not consider a penny under $1725...............
I really like the S&W K-frame revolvers to shoot .38 Special, but I do not have a lot of confidence in them for shooting .357 magnums.
The Speed Six were also made in 3" for the USPS. They can be found if you're patient.66 3”. I prefer an N frame because I have large hands. But I can deal with a K frame.
Nothing wrong with the Speed 6. Just a shorter barrel than I prefer.
