.38 specials do not have recessed cylinders.

The leather looks like Sam Andrews. Was out of Orlando Florida and now St. Augustine.

Some of my K frames measure .055 and .054 from the factory. Others measure as low as .046. The info I have seen says .062 is max. I fitted a Power FP recently on a 66-1 and it started out at .067 also. I ended up at .059. I would leave it at .060 unless you get pierced primers.

The grips in your picture look like "Mustang Grips" sold in the '70s

That's my kind of trouble!!!!! Beautiful 66

Remington RTP38S12 is the better choice. The Federal and Winchester loadings now use a harder bullet and do not expand consistently.

Targetsportsusa.com gets it in regularly. I bought the 50 round boxes for 16.99 a few weeks ago. They have been running that price for a long time. Buy a case of 10 and get free shipping. They are out at the moment though. :(

Burrs inside the frame and side plate edges cause most of the problems with hammer and trigger scrapes. If you do end up needing shims check out triggershims.com

Another vote to replace the trigger and hammer. The DA sear and the hand are the parts that require fitting, just re-use the ones in the gun now. The replacement hammer and trigger will most likely not require any modification.

That is an interesting hammer for a 66?

Looking at your pictures, by the color I would guess the barrel and cylinder are Hard Chrome and the frame is Electroless Nickel.

The 10-8 has the pre-MIM internals. The weight savings with the heavy barrel is negligible at only 2 ounces less than a model 19 4 inch. It is however a good nightstand gun in 38 spl. with the heavy barrel making for very light recoil. Nice looking blue job. enjoy!

If I could have only one, it would be a 4" blue Model 19. A 19-3 was my first serious handgun in 1970. The 19-4 I recently purchased would be my last.

Beautiful restoration, enjoy it. Lived in Round Rock many years ago. I left a lot of lead in the hill country back then out of a 4 inch blued 19-3. My all time favorite revolver. During my 1911 obsession I made the mistake of selling all my revovlers. I recently picked up a 19-4 to replace it.

eb07, great looking 4 inch 19. I spent a lot of time behind a 19-3 from 1970 through 1979.

For a PPC gun or any that does not have to be original screws, I would recommend the allen head screws from Grand Masters LLC (Ron Power Custom). The 3 screws are the same so you have to dimple the inside of your grip where it fits over the rear screw. Using the allen screws makes taking the...

according to the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson the model 64 and model 65 are M&P or military and police.

Nice trio! Back in the early '70s I also had the 3 sizes.

Save the sight if you can! They are too precious to waste unless there is no alternative. Good job matteekay.

Congrats on a fantastic shooter! The 5 inch 27 has to be one of the best combinations of balance, sight radius, ballistic efficiency and overall good handling revolvers ever made. In the mid 70's I purchased a police trade-in pre 27 5 inch blue 5 screw from a small LGS in central Florida. It...
