Another 66 snubbie? - Why not?! Pics inside
Picked up this beauty for $375 which in today's climate isn't too shabby.
Model 66-3 2.5" with box and paperwork. The box isn't perfect but oh well.
I couldn't leave well enough alone and 'dolled her up' with some Ahrend's finger grooves.

My opinion is that the 66's and 19 snubbies are the best looking S&W compact revolvers. I've owned several. I just wish they made them a little tougher around the forcing cone.

That is sweet! I'd love to stumble across one. As much as I love my 2-1/2" 686 I'd love to have me a K frame snub.

You bring up a good point. I started out with a 686 2.5" for carry and it was *just that much* bigger than the 66 to make it too big (for me anyway) to carry comfortably. I ended up trading it for the 66-2 pictured below. I really didn't need another one but when I saw the price I had to jump out of principle!
One thing I did note about the 686 is it was easier to shoot and it felt like some serious hardware in your hand!
66-2

The last 66 snub I saw used in a shop sold quickly at $650. Think maybe you stole that Smith? Great price for the Indiana part of the globe.

Haha!
Trust me, I've lost more money on guns over the years than I care to think about. I think this was just a case of the blind squirrel getting a nut.

That was way below average price for that fine specimen. Love the Ahrends too. If yours is like mine its a shooting machine.
Have the same set of grips on my 19-3. Sanded the FG's down for a really good fit and applied a darker stain. Much better grip for shooting, especially magnums
Congrats on a great find and enjoy!

Nice find, indeed! That's over a bill cheaper than you would find a snubby 66 with box around here. Fun to shoot too!

Doesn't get any better than the 2.5" 66 in a snubbie revolver! Congrats! Regards 18DAI.
