Not any longer. I had a 2 1/2" 66-2 years back but found for my use that it was too large for the type of concealed carry I prefer. For woods use, etc., with a gun belt I could just as easily go with a longer barrel.

I had the RB factory stocks on it and added a T-grip...the recoil with full loads was pretty robust in the web of the hand.

Sort of an in-between size for me, carry-wise, so moved on.

2.5" K-frame Combat Magnums = amazing accuracy

Oh yeah, still carrying and using them. The 19-2 I usually just carry in cooler weather and not in the humid sweaty season. The 66-no dash I carry during sweaty times and other times as well.

I shoot/carry handloads with 158 grain Hornady XTP's over a healthy dose of 2400.

That 66 with the T-grip and smooth stocks gets me every time. Beautiful gun.

Thanks! Its one of my favorites as well. Its a NC SBI surplussed gun. It went back to S&W several years ago to be fitted with a smooth-wide trigger and a few internal parts.

I carry my 2.5 inch 66-1 fall, winter and spring, and my 638 during the summer months. Either +p's or 158 grain .357 for the 66-1.

It's my outta town and winter gun loaded with 158 JSPs presently housed in a rig I just got from "Su Amigo Dave"
