    Carrying extra Magazine

    I wear a 4" revolver in .357 Mag. I carry a Bianchi Speed Strip in a dump pouch on my belt.

    Sideplate Rermoval

    I remove cylinder and crane then rap the top of the frame with a wooden mallet and the sideplate falls off.

    How to stop my handle from pushing my tshirt out

    Slim and trim, huh? I weigh 200 and too many and there is plenty hanging over my belt buckle, but thanks for the compliment.

    How to stop my handle from pushing my tshirt out

    I don't know if this will help you or not. This is a 4" Smith & Wesson Model 66. I'm 6'1" I do have some gut overhang. I've worn this daily for several years and haven't been "outed" yet.

    Which Revolver ?

    I carried a 5 shot 2" Model 36 for years then went to a full size 1911A1 until I got a 2.5" Model 66. Now, the 2.5" seldom gets out of the case as I wear a 4" Model 66. I've worn the 4" daily for several years now. It pretty much suits me.

    66-2 at LGS

    I'd jump on it. I've got 2 Model 66 revolvers, a 2.5" dash 2 and a 4" dash 1. The 4" is my daily carry gun. They're a great revolver.

    13 vs 66

    I've got a 2.5" Mod. 66-2 and a 4" Mod. 66-a for carry guns. I seldom carry the 2.5" anymore. I prefer the stainless steel revolvers as I can sweat on them and they don't start turning orange before sundown. I suppose I'd prefer a 3" Mod. 66 with a round butt. All of that being said, if you...

    My first 66-1 !

    I'm so sorry for you but I will help you out of your mess. I'm so sorry you took such a screwing on that revolver. Roll up a $100.00 bill and insert it into the muzzle and ship the Model 66 to me and I will take that embarrassment off of your hands. I'd not do this for just anyone but I...

    Question for the group: How often do you replace your defense ammo?

    I wear a revolver and switch out my carry ammo every 2 years. After 2 years, I use it for "practice" or informal target or the occasional varmint. I've never had 2 yr. old or older ammo fail to fire.

    A 4" Model 66 in a crossdraw.
