Another 66 Snubbie

[CH4]

Found this nice 2.5" 66-2 shooter on Armslist. Overall in good shape and mechanically sound - the usual wear and tear with a small amount of pitting on the side plate, minimal flame cutting and side plate screws aren't boogered. Came with the Bianchi holster and 50 rds of ammo for $500. Have a few so I wasn't in need or want, but for the price I couldn't look the other way. She should clean up real nice...

Sweet combo, great score! I've owned a few myself and always love to see them!

Nice score! Those are going for a couple hundred more most place. Some more than that. Congratulations!

Sweet! Yep, an hour or two of cleaning will work wonders.

Congratulations on finding a nice 66!!

That's a beautiful 66!! Snub .357's are both beautiful and versatile. Congrats on your new piece! Here's a pic of my 66 and 19 snubs.

Great looking gun. Not many around at that price these days.

Just a great gun! One of my favorites!

Probably the nicest looking and most symmetrical .357 Snub ever produced!

$500 bucks! You stole it, I keep my eyes out for one and will snatch it up when I come across one.

I would have done it too! Congratulations to you. My 66-2 came to me early last year at a gun show. Was marked $795, but got it $725 OTD. Certainly no deal, but I like it. Nothing extra came with mine. Bob

Very nice. What year was it made OP? I notice -2, no pinned barrel and no recessed chambers?

This is my Dad's bedside gun:

I am not sure of its age, other than it was made sometime soon after '82. Ser# ACP4886

Man, I'm jonesing for one, had a guy try to sell me one at about that price, and pics looked great, but the only feedback he had was on Pinterest, and he was in FL...Oh well.

Nicely done Sir. Heck you can't find a quality 66-2 for under $700 or more nowadays. Well, you can, but you have to be very patient and do a LOT of window shopping. Here's 2 of my 3 girls
(66-2's ) I don't have a decent pic of all 3 together.

Pitting? That's nothing. Had one of my detectives leave his Dept issue SW S/S revolver in his vehicle during a South Florida hurricane for 2 weeks. What a mess. Instead of writing him up, I took it home, disassembled it, and cleaned it. Enjoyed the challange. Your piece looks cherry. Nice grab. Enjoy it.

Hey Cellar Hound and Bikertrash. Who made your grips/stocks? Gorgeous on all of your guns.

According to SCSW4, the ACP prefix serial numbered guns were from 1983.

Mine were made by John Culina. I have several grips from John. They are amazing.
