Gun show find 66-2

[glockwhiskey]

Show was kind of a bust but I think I did ok on this one.

I know they started in 82'? Date it please.

Looks all original. Combat hammer/trigger. Speed loader stocks.

hardly shot.

Rest of pics.

Had these Pachmayr Grippers laying around. They are really comfortable in the hand and don't look too bad on SS pistols.

Nice 66-2 the Goncalo Alves has some great grain.For Pac's I like the original non medallion large presentation grip, especially on looks.

I agree with the GA grips. And love them in the hand. They just don't conceal very well. lol

Very nice Smith. Hard to beat a vintage 66 of any barrel length, except for maybe a pre lock 686. Enjoy it in good health.

Many police carried the model 66. Some departments were afraid officers would use 357 instead of the required 38s. They usually carried 67s instead. My dept forbid stainless guns. I carried a blue Python. When the policy changed I could not afford the Python in stainless. So I carried a 66 for awhile. I tried a 686 but found it too heavy. I now own both.

Nice Model 66!

That's a very late -2, late 1988.

Love mine, purchased in 1989...

Congrats on coming home with that sharp 66-2! IMO, the 4" 66s are the most versatile and sharpest looking models. Hope to hear how it shoots...

That's hard to beat. I miss mine.

Congratulation on your acquisition. I bought a brand new 66–3 in 1988, still have it
