Good Morning All! Open question for those that might have an answer. Has anyone had personal knowledge of any S&W revolvers of this era, being supplied with factory-installed lanyard rings?? I'm well aware of them being on earlier M&P's and even later RHKP M-10's but I've never seen one installed with factory target grips.
This example is an early M66 no-dash with 2K55xxx serial. Serial number seems to be more forward on bottom of frame as if to allow for lanyard ring hole. Serial # was not affected. Grips are blue-disk, football-relief Targets that are perfectly inletted for the extended ring base. Swivel works well & is installed with a solid pin.
I know many of these early M66's (and 67's) went to law enforcement. Does anyone recall any made like this? Maybe for a specific agency??
