I like the balance and feel of these two revolvers so I'd like to see yours.

Bad photo but here is a 1972 vintage 66 it came complete
with box, tools, and paperwork factory fired only.
I still have not managed to shoot it.
I added the presentation stocks...slick little rig.

Here is my 66-4. There is nothing like a K-Frame for balance and feel.

My 67

Here's my 67 I bought off Gunbroker a month or two ago. Grips and adapter are from my stock.

My first attempt at posting a photo on the forum.

Model 66 and Model 67 picture thread

My model 67 was bought new in 1972. It rode with me as a police officer for several years. In 1979 original Nite Sights were added and it was worn on duty for a few more years until we were allowed to carry the .357 Magnum. After it was retired for a model 19, my gunsmith was experimenting with some ideas for DAO PPC revolvers. I turned the gun over to him to make a duty revolver in DAO. The butt was changed from square to round. The SA was removed and the DA smoothed and the hammer spur removed. the trigger stop had beeen removed and replaced by an allen headless screw.

I find the S&W Model 66 and 67 to be one of the best balanced revolvers in my collection. I just wish I could find a proper set of grips for each of them and I'd be set. ;)
 
Here's my old LAPD issue 67 that I carried until the Beretta came along in '87. It then rode in the sock drawer until retirement last year. A trip back to Springfield for an action tune and bead blast made her like new and a fun shooting companion again.

Model 66s

I have found that i shoot the 3" as well as the 4" and the shorter ones carry and conceal much easier.

66-2 3" product code 102712 , April 1985. AFK ser.

Behind it a 3" 66-4 bead blast, Mag-na-ported, prod. code 102715 ,1996.
CAT ser. prefix

Model 67 no dash above a 66-1 .
Although the lighting doesnt allow enough color perception to see it,
The Model 67 (above) has the more rare Stainless steel rear sight aperature.
The 66-1 rear sight aperature (below) is the more common black.

Here's my 66-2 with 4" barrel -- made in 1982, I believe. So far it's my only Smith and by far my favorite handgun, but I hope to add more as funds allow.
