So if you want a working revolver go with the model 66. If you want something to add to the collection that can be used from time to time go with the classic model 19.

Or better yet, buy one each.
I try to go shooting aleast once a week. Usually carry 3 or 4 handguns. Rest assured there’s alway a 66 in the bag. Only choice is either a 2 1/2 or 4 inch.
