Yes they do on the model 66. I have a 66-4 4 inch . I only shoot in 357s a 140gr or higher. Recommended by Smith and Wesson is a 158gr. Also, stay in the neighborhood of 1100 to 1300 FPS. Clean the forcing cone area well and top strap after going to the range. If a person does all of the above steps, the 19/66 will out live the shooter.

Good luck,
