Model 66 Sapo

[sapo]

You've heard about the Wiley Clapp Ruger GP100, well this is the Sapo S&W Model 66. Why should Wiley Clapp have signature firearms and not me? HA!

Anyhow, I always come up here and enjoy everyone else's photos but I rarely post any of my own. (In all fairness, some of you take some very high quality pictures and I'm just not in your league - this is about the best I can do)

Here's a few I snapped of my 66 which I just got back with a couple minor mods: first a bead blasted finish; second, a tweaked C&S extreme duty rear sight; and finally, my favorite Pachmayers for the K-frame. It makes a great trail gun. Hope you like it.

I've always liked the texture of the sandblasted/beadblasted finish for some reason. That's a great looking carry gun.

I'd be glad to put my name on that one.

Would you please tell us who did the work? It's very appealing. Thanks.
Stay safe, partner.

Looks great, but "Goodyears" are for cars and not handguns.

The work was done by a well known 1911/high power smith sort of as a favor to me. He doesn't usually do revolver work. I'm not trying to sound coy, I'm just not sure he wants his non-standard work advertised. I'll ask him if he minds.

For my trail guns I carry the buffalo bore 180 grain load. With this load I have found that the rear of the trigger guard will pound my middle finger mercilessly unless I have a rubber grip that covers it, hence the pachmayers.

As long as you like it.....

That is a fine carry piece......and yes, you can call it the SAPO model

That's a fine looking gun. How closely are the sights regulated for those 180 gr Buffalo Bores?

 

[sapo]

The buffalo bore hits about 2" high at 25. I'm zeroed for a 110 gr load.

That looks awesome. Now you need an electric pencil and really make it an "autographed model"

congrats.

That looks great! I love the matte finish, my brother has the Wiley Clapp GP, your finish does look similar to the Ruger's, which I really like. Good job!
