WOW! Absolutely awesome video! Thanks!

Hi, no I'm right eye dominant and shoot with both eyes open focusing on the front sight. I've had excellent results doing this with pistols, shotguns, etc. Revolvers.....not so much.

Okay....stupid question....but I'm guessing you guys are talking about practicing with .38's instead of .357's correct? At least I believe that's what @lrrifleman was referring to?

Interesting you brought up bullet weight. I recently read somewhere else that these guns shot more accurately with a 158 grain bullet. Something about the cylinder to forcing cone gap and pressure I believe. If this is the case I definitely need to get me some 158 grain SWC's to practice with...

Wow! So much great information and advice. I am almost overwhelmed. Unfortunately, I did NOT get to make it to the range the other day. However, I DID try something else that kind of puzzled me. I stuck my laser boresighter in the 66-1 and aimed at the wall and tried to get the red dot where I...

Hey everybody. I am new to the forum and Smith & Wesson having purchased my first yesterday, a Stainless Steel 66-1 pinned and recessed with 4" barrel. Hoping to learn a lot from you guys and gals.

Hello everyone, I'm new to the Smith & Wesson forum. Need some help identifying the year of my new to me revolver. It is a model 66-1 in stainless steel s/n 38Kxxxx. It is pinned and recessed with 4" barrel and has the target style walnut stocks and adjustable sights. I feel I should add my...
