I have a 66-2 with a 2 & 1/2" barrel. I really like it. All being the same condition and appearance wise, I would probably choose the more desirable no dash or -1. I would not swamp mine for one of those in a lesser condition or with a longer barrel.

Please don't swamp it,use a light synthetic oil.

I'm a fan of the 66-1 but will still prefer a blued Model 19-2 or -3 over it

Much just depends on what you like or can find at a decent price. In my opinion, most of the engineering changes were done for cost reduction, not to make the gun better. There was nothing wrong with the M19 it came from, they just gave in to save money. Yes, I have a no dash. And a 19-3 that is from the same period. Good solid guns with a traditional barrel that screws in . I don't shoot overloads in my K frame guns. N frames handle that better.
