From what I've heard, everyone was fond of the 2.5" Model 66. My uncle wasn't a fan of the "blast" from short barreled Magnum K-frames, neither was his dad. It seems to be about 50/50. So, I'm sure a 2" Model 67 would've sold well.S&W really missed the boat IMHO by not offering the 67 as a 2" snub. Given the appreciation for the 2" Model 15, they might have sold a boatload of 67 snubs.

I was issued this in 1985. Carried it for a couple of years before we were issued Berettas. So glad I decided to buy it.
Out of the many duty weapons I carried, the Model 67-1 was the best. Glad you have yours, wish I hadn’t traded mine…..

I figured as much. I shoot Magnums in my 2.5"s but, some of my relatives didn't.The K-Frame 2.5 inch was a hit with most cops. You had the blue or nickel 19 or the 66. With the 357 Magnum ammunition the "blast" was more pronounced with the 125 JHP. Most cops carried 38 Special +P in their snubby.
