It is a Model 66 but apparently in 38 special. Thank you for all the info. Learned something new.

This gave me a double take. Is it just me?

My 66 3" came with these.

This is my only 60. Here are some of my other J's.

The 44 special is a great cartridge. I have been reloading it since the eighties for my model 24's, a couple of non-S&W revolvers, and then a 624; before I got my first 696 which I think is the perfect gun for the cartridge. As for the 60-4, I love 3 inch J-frames and have three different...

Found a Model 1950 Target 45 I got something similar through out-of-state Armslist last week. I usually won't take risks like that but it was for a 1950 Target 45 acp (pre-26), with a 5" barrel (no, it was not factory 5") so I took a chance and I like what I got, a lot. The original Patridge...

Third and final price drop.

This is not the first time S&W faced demand out-pacing production. I remember wanting a Model 29 in the early seventies and looking for a Model-66 right after it was announced. S&W DID NOT compromise back then, it is, however, willing to cut corners now. Sad.
