Was loading up my 619 last night, and I got to thinking, the 619 was the "updated" 65, the 620 the "updated" 66.

Was S&W to scared to call them the 665 and 666?

You do know we no longer have a Highway 666 here in NM?
It ran North out of Gallup up through the Navajo Res.
Many scarey things happened there, so they say.

When you take away the devil highway number, do the scarey stuff go too?

Yep.......................:eek:
 
Trying to make sense of S&W Model numbers ?
The Model 60 should have been renamed the 636 when they figured out a sytem that made sense in the early 80's,
then the Model 66 would have been the 619, The 67 a 615, the 64 a 610 and Model 12 the 410....he he...
 
Model 666 sound like bad Ju-Ju to me, but then there is a Model 13....

My model 13 is one of my favorite revolvers. But then again I'm not superstitious so if the "666" was the right gun for me, I'd carry it.
 
Well, I have one that is not quite a 666 model. However, it is a 66-6. I am not superstitious but, I do keep it far away from my M13.

 
Im a pretty longways from perfect, (past or present). I am a Christian so......there for NO 66* for me. Regards Ernie
 
Only available in a satan-nickel finish. :rolleyes:

I LOL'd, and then I groaned. Nicely done.

Back when I was working retail sales, a customer brought back a pistol he had just purchased 2 or 3 days previously. He wanted to exchange it for another, because he had just noticed that the serial number contained the numbers "666" within it. My opinion was that we should explain to the guy that we can't cater to every customer's whim or personal superstition regarding lucky, unlucky, or "evil" serial numbers, and that if it was that important to him he had better start looking at these things before he leaves the shop with his new acquisition.

To my great surprise, the manager just swapped pistols and redid the paperwork. To be fair, the gun was unfired, and I suppose it was the right thing to do from the customer service viewpoint. But, irrational superstitions kinda bug me.

My partner's street number was 666. When he tried to sell his house a buyer balked at the number. He got the city to renumber it to 668, but by then the deal was hexed.

Years later I was working a case in Puerto Rico and left Barceloneta on Route 666. When I stopped at a bar for directions I noticed that it was named "El Inferno". Considering that I was looking for the regional garbage dump and "Gehenna" (or hell) was the name of Jerusalem's garbage dump I gave brief consideration to just turning around, but reason got the better of me.
