So I have this 66-1 snub that is one of my favorites. It has a super smooth trigger and a really "solid" feel. I have noticed over the years that when I pick up and dry fire a 66-2 to 66-5 it never feels as solid and tight and smooth. Has anyone else noticed this or am I just biased? I am not sure why this would be the case. Just wondering?
My baby.
There is a lot of individuality in the Model 66 era you are referring to. Some have been around a while and have had action work done. Some were as you describe right out of the box. You are biased because you have a really nice one. I have had my eye out for one like that for thirty plus years. Call me Mr. Jealous.
My 3" 66-2 has the smoothest double action of any S&W I've owned. It must have been polished/tuned because my no dash and -1 66's aren't this smooth and light. I agree, there's nothing like a -1, especially a new in the box one and a nice 3"-2 too....
