Where is the post that shows the dates and changes made to the 19s and 66s for each change number?

Also have a excellent mod 19-3, blue, 4in, box, etc, sn 7k63xx, also bought new, cant remember what year. Could anyone tell me the year of mfg on these two pistols? Thanks

I would estimate the Model 66 with 9k prefix around late 1977 and the 7k prefix Model 19 around 1976.

The Model 66 came out in 1970 and is the evolutionary equal of the Model 19-3 ...both have the gas ring on the yoke,

The 19-4 revision relocated the gas ring to the cylinder.
