19 and 66 snubs

[wheelyfun66]

Picked up this 19-7 snub today, to accompany my 66-4 snub.
Horrible pics, but you get the idea!
I'm on vacation next week and looking forward to giving them both a workout at the range.
Inbound leather from TT Gunleather and I'll start carrying the 66.
The 19 will likely see very limited use.. it is too pretty to get finish wear on the bluing, ha!

Do any of y'all have stainless and blued "companion" revolvers? Post them up, if you do!

INCREDIBLE COINCIDENCE! I just submitted a post on about these same guns. It posted 4 minutes after yours! Wow...

Here's my modest contribution. This was a former police gun that look like it had been stored underneath someones sink. I sent it back to mother for a rehab and this is how I got it back. I wish I had taken some before photos because I can't believe how it came out.

My blue and SS and/or nickel (yesteryear’s SS) parings include:
3” Model 10 blue and nickel, 3” Model 64
3” Model 13 blue and nickel, 3” model 65
4” Model 13 and Model 65
2 1/2” Model 19 blue and nickel, 2 1/2” Model 66
4” Model 19 and Model 66
6 1/2” Model 29 blue and nickel

Hopefully I’ll post photos tomorrow.

ETA, I also find it easier to put a SS or nickel revolver in a holster than a pristine blue revolver. I bought some of the blue revolvers I listed, and got a nice holster, but just couldn’t holster the blue revolver, so bought a nickel or SS version.

The 2.5” 19/66 is one of favorite revolvers. They just have a certain sexy, all business look, the 3" included.

Our Topic is Snub Nosed Combat Magnums

I'll start with some Model 19s. The blued fixed sight revolver is a 19 P. I will return with some 66s.

 

[John Adams]

Now some Model 66 Snubbies

I believe ATF had the first 2 1/2" Model 66s around 1970. Everyone wanted one but they were difficult to obtain for years. Half a century later they are still wonderful carry guns.

Here's one of my only Model 66's with it's companion Model 19.

I mean two R99's, one blue, one stainless.

My only 66-2 that I inherited from my dad. Wonderful gun!

 

[71vette]

I’ve got seven of them. Three 66’s and four 19’s. I love the 2.5” magnums!

66-1

19-4 nickel

66-7

66-1 (Smith Performance Center carry revolver package)

I don’t have any good pics of the rest. I need to fix that….

I’ve got a few blue/stainless pairs, still looking for a 66-4 to go with my 19-7. The pairs I have are:

36ND / 60ND
10-5 / 64ND
10-5 (2”) / 64-2
13-3 / 65-3

I’ve got my name on the waiting list for the 432/632, maybe I’ll get both for another matching pair.

 

[wood714]

I have an engraved 4" no dash 66 too. These are both -2.

Here's a few of "not too short" K frames....

K-Comp (PC M19)

An early PC M19 for Lew Horton

F-Comp (PC M66)

M66 Super-K

Just a regular old 3" M66

Another regular old 3" M66 (M66-5)

And a few regular old 3" M19's....

 

[wood714]

And a few regular old 3" M19's....

Wasn't there only a few hundred of those made?

Never saw one in person.

 

[CarNDrvr]

I call these big bro little bro. My 629-4 and my 686-4.

 

[75Vette]

Here's a 19-3 'with character' and it's stainless sibling, a 66-2.

Never saw one in person.

The only estimate I've heard was approximately 500 made....
