I carried a 6" Model 66 S&W for a year in 1980-81. My partner carried a 6" Colt Python, as did several others who had more money than I. I loved that revolver until I bent it over a guy's head on a DUI traffic stop when he tried to disarm me. I literally warped the frame to the point that I had to get a gunsmith to unload it (took 14 stitches to close up the gash in the guys head. The gun carried well in a high-rise holster and was accurate. The extra barrel helped dampen the recoil of the full power .357 Magnums we carried. The down side was that it gave my arrestee and extra 2" of barrel to get hold of. I went back to my 4" Colt Trooper Mk III until we were allowed to carry semi-autos. It was built strong enough to serve as a club and offered little to grab hold of.
