Hmmm... I may have to look into that for the 66-5. The Don Hume 715 I'm using currently isn't bad. But, that might be a bit more comfy.

I'm 5'9, 185 lbs. I've found that my 66-5 pretty much disappears iwb with a Don Hume 715 at about 2:30. This was in jeans -t-shirt and a lightweight, plaid button up shirt. One of my friends, who works at a gun shop, knew that I was carrying and what I was carrying couldn't spot it on me. YMMV.

Luckily for me, I am prepared for almost all posts like that. Although a friend on another forum kinda got us with a story about getting busted by the BATFE for a sale a while ago. Punk.....

Welcome from another GA boy. :)

I'll play along. Actors/Actresses: I met Sandra Bullock in Savannah, GA while she was filming 'Forces of Nature'. Musicians: John Lee Hooker and Carlos Santana at my friend's step-dad's house. Models: Patricia Ford, Lisa Boyle, and Alley Baggett (Playboy Special Editions) and Christy...

In GA, they are not connected. No duty to inform. I've always been a little on the fence on this. While I think it's probably okay do inform an officer out of courtesy, I've also heard of people being treated as a criminal for legally carrying. Including having the officer's gun pointed at their...

Was it supposed to penetrate a steel plate? Just asking.

My current daily carry is a 2.5 in. bbl 66-5 in a Don Hume 715. Ammo is Hornady 140 gr. LEVERevolution. I'm thinking about switching to a Blade Tech IWB for it. The hammer digs into my side a little when I'm sitting. Although I have a sheet of kydex, so I'm thinking of fabbing up my own.

Great. Now My 66-5 wants a friend..... or 5.

They, unfortunately, don't make anything for a k-frame. I asked Mark.

Nice looking carry piece. I really need to get a better set of grips for my 66-5 snubbie. Just put a set of Pachmayr Compacs on them and don't really like the fit. I'll probably put the Hogue Monogrip back on.

So, if you're like me and not a collector, who cares about the MIM stuff. That's pretty much what I was thinking. But you know, you start reading a lot of different stuff and it gets you thinking. But hey, it's a Smith. Why worry, right?

Okay, I have a Model 66-5 with 2.5 bbl. After reading a few things about the -5, I'm a little confused. I've read that the 66-5 has MIM parts. Good, bad, doesn't really matter that much? I've also read that that was when S&W started using the internal lock. Mine doesn't have a lock. So, am I to...

This one.... or this one...... Both are from around the mid to late 1800's. But, I really don't know. Still researching.

I have yet to have a police encounter since I've had my GWL, and honestly I hope to never have one. At first, I was of the mindset of being open and honest upfront. But, after reading a few posts on GeorgiaPacking.org, and SheriffOconee probably knows the one's I'm referencing, I've decided it's...
