66-2 3” Ashland special

[TheTinMan]

I like 3" Smith & Wessons:

624
696-1
66-2

The 66 is my favorite - I also have 3" 66-3 and 66-4 revolvers.

Not for less than a grand around here. Notice the longer ejector rod...that is the big advantage over the shorter snubbys. Great revolver. I wish I had one!!!!

You are absolutely right about the longer ejector rods.
Even though I have several J frames, and like them all, the ones with barrels of 2 1/8" or longer and have the longer ejector rods are my favorites.

Thanks!

I need to re-shoot that group. I now have all four pre-lock 3" 66's 66-2, 66-3, 66-4, and 66-5

I have some other 3" K-frames as well. Maybe I need an all 3" grouping? J, K, & N?

Stay safe.

Here is the third Model 66 I've had. This 66-4 I will keep to the end.View attachment 772786

The stocks on that gun are wonderful - do you mind sharing where you got them?

Cheers

A pair of Ashlands; 66-2 & 60-1
Even though the 60 gets considerably more use, the 3" 66 will be a hard one to let go.

My 3-inch .357s, one a Model 66 and the other a Model 60, are often carried around the mountain when not carrying a .44. I do like my revolvers for walk-a-bout guns.

My 3-inch .44 Magnum, a Model 629, and a 2 3/4-inch Model 69.

I have had one of those 3" Model 60's for 25+ years. One of my favorites.
