This thread is awesome! I have to post simply to keep it going for everyone to share. Sadly, I only have one 66-5 in 3.2". Thanks everyone for sharing!

Well, since this thread has expanded to include all Model 66s, I might as well throw my three into the mix. I'm not as skilled with a camera as some of you, however.
From top to bottom, they are a 6" 66-2 with Ahrends Retro Target stocks, a 4" 66-2 with Ahrends Retro Combat stocks and a 2-1/2" 66-4 with Ahrends Retro Combat stocks. All three have the red ramp/white outline sight package and the 6" and 4" have target hammers and triggers.
When I posted a photo of the 4" gun before, some one contacted me for the serial number. It seems it is somewhat of an oddity in that it has a trigger stop.

Allen, everytime you post photos of your fantastic Model 66 collection, I enjoy perusing them even more. If you could only own one 66 3" which one would it be? In other words do you have a favorite one?

Just had to bump this one to the top with a photo of my only non P&R .357 Mag. It is a 66-2 3" gun.
Since this photo was taken it has been to Nelson Ford for an action and reliability job and was fitted with a gold bead McGivern front sight. I also have changed the stocks to round FG Ahrends that have been custom fitted to the gun. It is my favorite K-Frame 357 to shoot and it has the best trigger pull of all of my guns - kind of like "greased butter"

Allen, that is a truly stunning collection of 66s. Thanks for sharing.
My collection is certainly more modest.
A 2 1/2" 66 no-dash, 4" 66-2 and 6" 66-3.
The 4" was purchased new by my father and given to me just prior to his passing in 1993.

Hey Coastie, we're back! Nice little collection, no need to use the word 'modest.' Three great pocket guns... You knew that was coming, didn't you!
Never developed a hankering for the 6", but the 4", that's another story. I have 3: a plain 66, a 66-1 Arizona HP commemorative, and a 66-2 West Va. FOP Limited Edition. Heaven forbid I don't indicate the suffixes. Don't know how to post pics. When I'm not shooting them, I use them for juggling... Never drop any, either. Darken ship, Coastie.
