Hi everybody,
my name is Thomas and today I made a big mistake. I bought myself this beautiful 66-5 and won't be able to shoot it until next week
Already asked S&W Support for manufacturing data and they told me it's from '99. I got it in a box that's been labeled to be originally for a 686, at least the manual seems to be the original one. As far as I understand the Uncle Mikes Grips seems to be the one it's been delivered with.
About myself: Originally I'm from Germany where I did the back then mandatory 9 months in the Bundeswehr and had my first experiences with real guns. After studies I moved to Switzerland and now, several years later, I started shooting pistols and now decided I want a revolver as well. I'd also love to get a rifle, but the missus isn't too keen about my hobby anyways (although she's a better shot than me with the sports pistol) ;-)
