to make a verry long story short, ill just cut to the chase. i found myself in a situation where all of a sudden i only had about 30 min. to decide on which mod. 66 iwanted. i had several to choose from. it came down to 2. the one i wanted was a 66-4 but i mistakenly orderd a 66-5. both were 2.5 inch. i just recently realized the 66-5 has the floating fireing pin. this is not what i wanted but the deed is done. so someone give me some good news about the 66-5 and why i will like it better than the 66-4 (i hope). thanks.

Ummmm....the 66-5 doesn't have a two piece barrel or the lock! There, silver lining!

you will love it

Luv my 66-5 x 2.5"!

When I read the thread title, the thought that immediately popped into my head was the final scene from the movie "The Bridge on the River Kwai", where Sir Alec Guiness finally realized that he had just exposed the allied commando's attempt to blow up the bridge that he had helped build. Great movie....

hope to pick it up thursday or friday. the floating fireing pin doesnt bother me so bad,its the lack of the pin NOT beeing on the hammer face. that pin on the face when shes cocked back is one of the looks i love aboutthe old smith revolvers oh well,guess ill learn to love her.

well she came in last saturday and WOW she is purrrdy!!! shore does feel big for a k frame. any-way i think it'll do

Just tell yourself that the Python used that system since the early 50's. I own several pre lock/post hammer change "transitionals" and they're ALL great blasters.
