Default Range Report New S&W 66-4

I bought a new (to me ) S&W 66-4 last month.



I love this gun.

I went to Bass Pro Shops indoor range yesterday.

Target @ 25'

My 1st 3 sets of shots - 6 - 38 cal / 6 .357 / 6 mixed .38 & .357.




Believe me - I'm not a target shooter - I'd rather be shooting outdoors at cans or hunting.

Sweet shooting gun.

I'd forgotten how well S&W revolvers shoot.

Nice job. - I also bought a 66 recently (although mine's a -2)

They are great shooting guns, but you helped!

Congratulations, and enjoy! I love my 66-1, and it visits the range frequently with me for the reasons you've just discovered.

A great gun. I have been looking for a 4-inch 66-4 in like new condition for some time. I've got a couple of 3-inch 66s (a 66-2 and a 66-5), but there is something about the looks of the 4-inch that really gets me going. I like the -4 model because of the round butt.

I agree with you on the looks of a 4".

They just look well balanced to me.

The one thing I hate about my 66-4 is the round butt. I have a sweet pair of fingergroove SB grips that I would LOVE to put on her.


I use it redneck style with a set of old Pachmayr Decelerator SB grips that fit well enough with their soft rubber goodness
