Here in Indiana I relied on either a Model 19 or a Model 34 for most of my woodsloafing. When the stainless guns came along, eventually I was able to retire those guns in favor of stainless versions of the same thing, though I was never as pleased with my Model 63 as I was with the Model 34. I don't believe my 63 shot as well as I hoped it would. As to the 66, no complaints. Mine was a -1 version and I was always well satisfied with it. Out west I would take my .45 Commander because it was so light and handy, and where I was there was always plenty of other gun-horsepower close by. Once one of my western friends, who was not impressed with my Commander, insisted on loaning me something he thought more suitable (his old .45 Blackhawk, which I liked - sort of ), and my old Model 29 did make one trip out that way. It was heavy, but manageable. All of them were great guns to have along.
