Default Gun Show find 66-2 21/2":)

Drove downtown a small gun show today to see the mobs. Wandered around the exorbitantly priced ARs and ammo tables and ran into a dealer that knows that I collect SWs. He traded for this little cream puff a couple of weeks ago.
I did not steal it from him, but I have sold a couple ARs so I had some cash burning a hole in my pocket. Not bad for a day where AKs and such are all the rage. He had a nice 686 21/2" that he traded for today as well as a sparkly new 629 with shipping box, etc. Looks like some may be dumping their revolvers in search of the AR craze.
Fine with me.

Outstanding! I have a 66-4 2.5" and absolutely love it! It just might be my very favorite shooter - as accurate as my 4" 686 out to 50', balance is perfect, weight is perfect - I'm sure you'll love yours too!

I bought a 66-2 a couple years ago. I carry it with Federal Nyclad 125 gr. .38 specials. I'm not terribly fond of it with .357s, but it is nice & easy with the .38s.
In fact, I don't like a 4' .357 a whole lot, either.
I have better results with a 6"

Nice buy, I like my 4" N-frames but really wouldn't mind a 2 1/2" or 3" K-frame .357. The M19/M66 2 1/2" guns are real lookers.

You won't find anyone saying anything negative about that gun.
