Thanks for the info. I took it to the range today and unfortunately they only had .38+P, but it shot beautifully. I had to adjust the sights, but once dialed it, it was tack driver all the way out to the range maximum of 25 yards.

Unfortunately, no box came with the gun, so I don't have any codes to look at, but a rough estimate as given is good enough to at least give me an idea, so I appreciate that.

The grips in the photo actually came on my 66-4, 4 inch round butt, when I bought it used a while ago. Not sure if they are original to that gun, but they are marked inside as Uncle Mikes, model 59014 and they fit this gun perfectly so I swapped them out.

The grips that came on the 66-2, 3" inch, were Uncle Mikes model 59006, which are similar in design to the Uncle Mikes 59014, but are about half an inch longer and cover the bottom of the grip frame and the backstrap.

The Uncle Mikes 59014 leave the backstrap and bottom of the grip frame exposed. They great for small hands for ultimate concealment. The slightly larger Uncle Mikes 59006 would probably be better for medium or larger size hands.

I also have a set of Hogue Bantam grips (model 62000) which are a nice set of compact grips. I normally do not like Hogue grips but these are really compact with a good feel for smaller hands.

In the photo, gun on left is a 66-4 (4"), now with the Uncle Mikes 59006. On left is the 66-2 (3") with Uncle Mikes 59014.
