I bought a used Model 66-1 in great shape today. It's a 2 1/2" version with a jeweled trigger and hammer. Some unknown gunsmith also did a terrific trigger job. Pachymers are on it now, but that'll change. Great gun.

The Mod 66-1 is an awesome revolver. Mine is not for sale. Congrats.

Sweet gun!! I'd polish that jeweling off the trigger/hammer and start over though. You really need some kind of "jig" to do proper jeweling, else it just looks like random dots on the metal.. But a great gun none the less!
Raider, mines not for sale either!

The jeweling actually looks better in person than the pics. I'd prefer the stock look myself, but the trigger job the guy did on this is worth putting up with the jeweling job.

I'd leave the Pachmayer Compacs on the gun - not as purty as wood, but they're about the most comfortable grips on a round butt K frame for shooting. They fit my hand perfectly.

I have to agree, they are just about perfect for me as well.

This one did not come from the internet. Bought it from a local dealer here in Mass face to face.

That's a 66?? Is it a Performance Center model or something? (Not sure if they even had the PC back then?) Barrel looks different from traditional 66's.. Sweet gun btw!!
