Default Picture before cleaning.

1 old, I spent more time cleaning the lead fouling from around the forcing cone and cylinder face that I did polishing it. I spent about twenty minutes with mothers mag and then a coat of Renaissance wax. I think it was already in good shape, it just needed a little sprucing up. Yep I think it cleaned up very well.
BTW, all of the great advise and discussion has been so beneficial on this forum,most of it put to good use on this Model 66.
I continue to learn something everyday, I even know now what a gas ring is and where to look for it!

Here is my 19-3. I have been shooting my 44s lately and took this one out the other day for a little change of pace. The 19 is such a light, quick package. Just a great gun all around.

I was issued a new 4" 66 when I came on the police department in 1981. Let it get away.
Here is a 3" 66-5 "Pinto"

Here is an unusual 66-1, a NH State Police gun, equipped with target stocks and a lanyard loop. Not everyday you see this configuration!



Here is an early 6" 19-2, which belonged to Charles Wendell. He was the man who created Kearsarge stocks. When I found this gun it was wearing the set of stocks below, with his own personal monogram on them, CBW.





Nickel CM, from the first block of 5000 serial numbers. This gun belonged to a very close friend of Mr. Wendell, and it had a set of smooth stocks on it also carved by him. The stocks are marvelous to hold, I have never held a better fitting set of stocks in my hand. The smooth stocks are shown below:



I have a few other examples as well, probably time to update some of my gun porn....



Not a very good picture, but this is a 66 no dash with the stainless rear sight. One of my all time favorite revolvers to shoot, to die for accuracy.
I'll try and get some more pics up soon.

Got a message that I wasn't sharing, etc so here's a quickie pic of my 19-4 and 66-2. I bought the 66 in the 80's and had the Cake-Davis company round butt the gun. I also put so many hot loads through it that I sent it back to S&W and they tightened it up. As I recall I was getting some pretty high chrono readings for a 4 incher.

I bought the 19 used in 2005 for $189.00 at my local small gun shop. I asked why the price was so low. The answer: "you don't want to know". Suicide gun seemed the obvious, if sad, answer but we can't blame the gun. It has some wear and pits from being out in the weather but I have no plans to have it refinished. It's wearing reshaped and oil finished Herrett Shooting Stars.

I'm really appreciating everyone else's pictures, by the way.

One of my favorite bring-alongs. I had one of these years back, same in all ways, and in a moment of insanity I sold it. It took me a few years before another one came home with me. The stocks are smooth elk horn made by forum member Executioner.



Here is a pair of 19-2 shooters. And let me tell you, they shoot really fine, but you probably already know firsthand how these remarkable K frames are.
The 6" gun is wearing a set of K frame cokes, no SN inside them, but they have black washers. Note the non-football cutout on the top of the left panel. And the non gloss finish. The 4" gun has stocks with the football cutout, but they also have the same slight curve as the cokes have, I am not sure if they are officially K frame cokes though. The finish is glossy as you can see.

There would be a screw in front of the trigger guard, on the bottom edge of the frame. A 19-4 is a 3 screw gun.

Here's my new favorite.

Right year and it's mechanically excellent.



Best of all it's a shooter and I won't think twice about carrying it.

I have had this no dash 66 for about 12yrs now. I got it for $275 back then and learned it had a checkered past (it spent hard some time in an evidence room but never got the electric pencil treatment).

I never was all that interested in learning more about it until recently. It has a serial number of 9K242xx. I think it was made in the mid 70's but I am not certain. I have no idea what stocks this should be wearing but anything more authentic would look better imho. It is a brilliant shooter though.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement.

Coug76, Standard Catalog of S&W shows that serial numbers: 9K10001 through 9K99999 were shipped in 1976

I agree! I prefer the original type stocks over the Goodyears!! Yours most likely came with the standard target stocks. The picture below is my N frame 629, but the stocks for your K frame 66 would look similar...

Here is a 66-2 that I recently got. For now, I like my Model 10's better. Maybe I'll warm up to it when I get some more appropriate grips on it.

Default Nickel 19-3

My newest acquisition. A Nickel 19-3. 4" P&R circa 1976

My other 2 19's.. 19-4 2 1/2" with new Hogue mono grip combat and 19-4 4" unfired since factory. I really love the light weight but solid feel of these magnums. And their accuracy is fantastic.

I have one on layaway. PICK IT UP TOMORROW! Pretty much identical to yours. 66-1, Pinned and recessed, left side roll mark, 2.5 inch barrel with red ramp. Texas DPS Trooper pistol number 28043 on the lt side.

Will post the picture as soon as I pay it out.

Where did you get those stocks? They are awesome... I am really envious of those. The color & grain is gorgeous.

I got them from Altamont. They are the K Round Conversion Target Checkered in Super Walnut with medallions. I think they are great and they look even better in person.

Navarre..I just put the Houge Mono grip wood combats on my 19-4 2 1/2". Post #382. I think I will be selling (saving)them and getting the Altamonts. I really like that look.

mbliss57-- You will not be disappointed. I originally purchased these because they were the only grips I could find that looked liked they came from S&W and were the RB conversions. I just like the look of the sharp corners on the SB grips. I cannot say enough good things about them.

Here are some pictures. I brought it home and found some problems. It is now on its way back to Smith and Wesson for some needed care, if it is deemed repairable it is still mine.

That Model-19 Snubbie is sure sweet! I'd like to find one just like it. Would make a nice companion for my Model-10 Snubbie.

If you don't mind me asking, what are the problems that might not be repairable? It looks mighty fine, otherwise.

I've only ever owned 2 Model 19's.
This was my first one, a Model 19 -7 with a round butt. I carried it with a set of round butt magnas. Shot great but something better came along. Cannot remember the serial number range.


S&W M19-7

This would be that something better I think.
Model 19 -5 with a square butt and factory target grips. Almost no wear on the gun and very tight action.
Serial AYM6***


S&W M19-5

Here's mine, 1974 2.5" Snubbie, I have the original grip's but fitted it with a Houge (as pictured) She's had less than 1000 lifetime rounds, purchased it from my Grandfather the original owner. Pinned and Recessed, and just an absolute joy to shoot.

Hi there... I am looking at a Model 66 for sale in another state The revolver is in “as new” condition and is stated to have had little use. The owner says it is an early version with stainless steel sights as opposed to later versions which had blackened sights. There is no dash in the model designation and the serial is 2K82Xxx. Cylinder has recessed chambers. Original box is in very good condition, has original owners instruction sheet and parts list. As well the original sales invoice dated August, 1973 is there also.

My issue is that I can't trace the serial number to one that makes sense in this thread. At introduction the intial serial numbers are in excess of this one.

Can anyone shed some light on this please? It has a 4 inch barrel.



Thanks.
