I have a chance to buy a nice 66-6 Performance Center F Comp from a buddy, with the Perf. Ctr. Aluminum case for $500. I told him that I would take it today. I know I should have cleared it with you guys first, but I can't believe that it is not worth at least that, if not more. I can't find much price info on it, other than original MSR. Have you guys seen many? Any kudos or kicks in the rear for me?
Thank you. jb

I paid $500 for mine over a year ago. I saw one at Tulsa asking price $900 !! I have not seen any offered on thie forum recently.
Is it one of the first or second run ?

I hope it does not have the lock . . . if not, you did good. I used to think my 586 L Comp for $600 was a good deal, because I sold the case for $75 and a holster for $100, rationalizing that the revolver cost me $475. Sold the grips and bought stags. The case had a broken lock! Anyway, I'm shooting mine and like it, the lock is defeated.

FWIW...I have one...It has THE nicest action of ANY of My 12 or so PC revolvers...
$500.00 is a STEAL!!

Good job! You would be dumb not to buy it for $500 (assuming excellent condition).

Remember,
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese!

Thank you for the fast replies. I felt like I had to do it, and the action does feel smooth. It is great looking to boot. Again, I am not finding a whole lot of information on it, but everything is pointing to 66-6, which makes it a 2003, which puts me in the lock years, correct?

Here is a sheet that came with my 66-3 F comp.



And here is my gun.

Beautiful gun. Thanks for showing. Thanks also for the add'l info. Sadly, mine did not come with any paperwork, but I am still glad to have captured it.

Ferrilmerrill, Do you know what company made those wooden combat grips for S&W, that you have on your gun???? I have a set of rosewood grips on my 66-1, and I always wondered. Bob

Hogue

These guns are selling for $800 on GunBroker....Mine is priceless...a near perfect action and remarkable accuracy...

Bob K, I bought the gun slightly used and those grips came on it. I see it was advertised as haveing uncle mikes goodyears and thank god it didnt. Coincidently, right after I bought mine another gun shop had the same gun also slightly used with the same grips shown above of tipojons with the white diamound inlay. Those are the only 2 66-3s F comps I have ever seen! I havent seen a name on my grips. they are one piece and slide up on the grip frame and are screwed into a strip that is on the bottom of the grip frame. I am told my gun is one of 300 built for lew horton. Now I kind of think lew horton didnt get the intire 300, and dealers got some. I may try to get a letter.
That said, I think it is the best carry gun ever made! I do have to get my trilijon sight redone someday as they do and this has faded with time. I used to live in the night on my job but now retired so its no longer a big deal.

According to the catalog these retailed in 2003 for $798, so I'd say you did fine for $500.

Were those grips original with the gun? What kind of case did it some with? I assume it does not have a lock since it's a 66-4.

I love my 66-6 even if it does have the lock. When I picked it up I also got the electronic version of the 2003 catalog. Let me know if you want an email of the pdf.

You did extremely well! Mine cost me way too much, but this is my favorite 66-6 PC carry comp
