Definitely a strong buy at that price. I know I wouldn't pay 900 for a 6". but that is just me. I have paid in that range for a 2.5 - 1 with grass horn stocks.
Thanks Bobby, I don't know much about 66 values with respect to barrel lengths, but I know you do...Feel a little better, I'll only cry in one beer and not dilute the rest.
NavyCCPO, $549 IMHO would have been a good deal, one I would have jumped on. S&W 66's go from $850~$1300 all the time on Gunbroker. I own a 66 no-dash SS front and rear sight that came from an estate sale.
I payed 200 less than that for my dealer NIB 66 type revolver with 4 inch barrel. But I guess I am old. In my mind, paying even 500 for any modern K frame is crazy. I guess I won't be getting any revolvers soon! I bought my 28 with the 6 inch barrel. I figured, it is big and heavy and not concealable, and the weight is there to dampen magnum firing, so why not get a longer barrel and get a bit more efficiency? BTW my greatest Smith regret may be selling my 6 inch 629 years ago.
