I'm so thrilled they are coming out with the 66-8 in 2.75'' barrel. I absolutely adore my 66-8. I prefer the 2 toned look of the black trigger,hammer, cylinder release on the bead blasted finish. I think this will be a great competitor to the rugged SP101 2.25(which I have and love too).
I think they will be hesitant to make it a part of their product line because it would compete directly with the L frame. However, I do think there is room for both. Make the K frame the "standard" 357 line and keep the L frame for people who value that 7th round. After all, there is still the N frame for people who want 8 rounds :-)
