66-4 snub: fighting revolver
Hey All,
I have been through "phases" of loving different style guns for defensive carry, and cannot afford a "collection" of guns.
So, I've been through a few S&W 66 snubs and j-frames, but....
The 66 snub remains my all time favorite "fighting" revolver.
I was lucky enough to score this unfired 66-4, and after some range work, it will become my primary carry gun.
Post your own 66 snub pics, if you so desire!
Not the best pics, but good enough until I get some better daylight pics:

Oh yes, forgot to add.....
Before anybody busts on my choice of rubber stocks... 
I LOVE the Pachmayr Pro Compac for their thin design and how they extend a tiny bit past the bottom of grip frame, just a smidge longer than a boot grip.
They also fill in the area of the grip frame that would be filled in by a Tyler T adapter.
So, while I've got some magnas and will probably get some "fancy" boot grips......The Pro Compac rubbers are my fighting grips!

I ain't gonna rag on your choice of grips. Pachs are fine grips on a work horse of a gun. I always swap out to goodyears when I hit the range and plan on punching many holes in paper. For Sunday grips I like the Altamont magnas on my 66-2 snubby.

I like your style wheely.  Got my 66 out for a little workout just a week or so ago.

All Smiths are worth including in a collection in my opinion. The cost is not a determining factor in the world of S&W collections.
I have a few worth a lot and many worth a little but they are all important to me and are my collection.

For about 25 years, my primary fighting revolver was my M-66-3, but it has a four-inch barrel and sq. butt Pachmayr grips, Presentation model.
I've occasionally carried Ruger DA revolvers and briefly, a Manurhin MR-73. But I always felt just a trifle better with my M-66, and it was the gun I qualified with to keep my security commission.
It remains one of the guns I reach for when something goes bump in the night and would be a top choice for woods carry when I'm not hunting.
I had a snub M-19 and understand your fondness for that sort of firearm. I want a M-66 with three-inch bbl. and/or a M-65 with three-inch bbl. And a spare M-66 with four-inch bbl. would receive a warm welcome here.
Bill Jordan intended the Combat Magnum (M-19/66) to be a fighting revolver. That's how the gun got its catalog name.
I sometimes rely on a hi-capacity 9mm auto, as there may be multiple opponents and I think that's a trend. But a skilled man with a suitable revolver is still a potent factor in a gunfight.
Thanks for your photos and your use of those Pachmayr grips. I use Pachmayrs in several models and the discontinued Uncle Mike's more than any other grips.

I don't have a 66 snub but I do have a Model 19 snub and a number of Model 10 snubs, M15, M64 (under construction to be a snub - long story), etc.
I think K frame snubs are the bees knees for concealed carry fighting revolvers and I am about to post that I finally got back to carrying mine TODAY! YAY!

I have a snub 19 with the same grips, they are not beautiful but they are the most functional ones I have found.

One of the best "working grip" IMHO... used them for years .....only issue was they tend to grab the cover garment.... in the 80s I modified a couple sets of K-frame "Banana grips" to mimic the Pro compacts.
Later discovered Spegel Boot and Extended Boot grips.....
If I ever started open carrying a 2 1/2 or 3" 66 the Pro Compacts would come out of my "big box-O-grips".
Ditto on the regular "Compacts" that cover the backstrap on a 4" round butt L-frame.

Beautiful guns.
Which dash versions came with pinned front sights? My eyes prefer a thinner (.100) front sight with fiber optic insert on stubbies.
Thanks,
Dave

I like em too. Just right for my stubby fingers.
Wish someone made woodies of the same dimensions.

This is mine. Carried for 3 years as a Robbery Detective w/KCPD. A lot of my "clients" called it my pimp gun, but they weren't happy with me anyway.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, to my mind the 19/66 2.5 is the sexiest/practical revolver extant!
They are both frequent flyers in my carry rotation.

I have only one K Frame a 66-4 3" that I recently found unfired until I shot it. I really like it a lot. It's just the right size for my hands.

I have a 19-3, originally bought in 74 in factory nickel. Over the years the nickel began to flake so I sent it to Accurate Weapon Plating to be refinished in brushed hard chrome. It still shoots like a dream.

They are some great little guns Wheely....I believe the best way to carry them is in some fine Mitch Rosen Leather..... I'm also a big fan of Pachy Presentation Pro Compacs myself.........Zebulon

Zebulon,

Good Grief! I was 32 when my 2.5" 66-no dash was made in 1975.

Zebulon,
If I recall correctly....didn't I buy a nice Rosen leather holster from you? |
Yes Sir....We've done some business in the past. I think you may have purchased one of your '66's from me as well. We both have a way of moving those guns around a little.... I still have photos of that Leather if you would like me to post them.....Zebulon

very nice 66. Love those grips. I think they would look great on my 19-4 snub.

Wow! Nice setup....Love the grips, though I personally prefer boot grips for carry.
I just ordered a TT Gunleather IWB for my 66, but won't see it for 8 to 10 weeks.
Also, will post pics soon, as I bought a Tyler T from a forum member.

Here's a 66-3 that I had a little work done on some years ago. I need to take this one out to the range next trip. Thanks for the reminder.

I carried a Model 66 snub for years. Bobbed hammer, dished trigger guard, and polished smooth trigger. These pics make me want to get it back from my son. I moved to a 325 Airlite. Love it too.
