Default Iam the New guy.....from Houston, TX

Iam a life long gun enthusiast. Live for Hunting, Fishing and sharing time with my sons outdoors. I have my share of rifles, shotguns, pistols and revolvers......but this is my first Smith and Wesson. My dealer just received my 2.75” model 66 combat magnum and I will pick it up on Tuesday. Reading the reviews....almost universally everyone complains that the action is not smooth and excessively heavy. So I am joining this forum to try to learn as much as you good people are willing to teach me. I want to thank all of you in advance.....because I am sure most will be generous with valuable knowledge.

You can learn much here. Smiths are not known for smooth action fresh out of the box. Shoot it and then shoot it some more.
Welcome from the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Welcome from the northwest side of Houston, Champions. Smoothing up that S&W won't be as cheap as it used to be with the ammunition shortage, but it will be fun. You could always go amateur gunsmith like many of us do and open it up to smooth the rough parts. Risky, but also fun.
