The model 66 started production in 1970. Which one is best is a whole separate topic. Many prefer the older, pinned versions, but functionally there is little difference between them and a newer one. Many 66s (and 19s, for that matter) were LE guns and are worn cosmetically and sometimes mechanically also. A nice 4" 66 would be in the $450-500 range and perhaps a little easier to find than a NIB 19-2; less than $500 for the latter gun is a pretty good price.

I picked up the model 19-2 yesterday. It was as claimed NIB and never fired, produced in 1965, and delivered from the factory with target trigger, target hammer, red ramp and white outline rear sight.
