Newly obtained 66-1 snub

[rjm6120]

A co-worker is slowly liquidating his gun inventory and gave me first crack at this 1980-shipped 66-1 snub. It's got a few handling marks, but I couldn't pass this one up for $650, which I thought was a very fair price. I'm truly a sucker for pinned and recessed K frames.
Masterbuck54 hooked me up with a very decent set of magnas to replace the Pachmayr presentation rubbers it came with.

That revolver looks like it was a real steal at $650. Congratulations an a great find!

It's hotttt!!

That beautiful piece looks exactly like one I own. Congrats on the find, rjm6120.

Great looking gun and a very fair price. A friend of mine's two older 66's 4" in great shape sold for $650 also recently and I thought that was very good price these days.

You stole it for $650, the snubbies usually go for more than the 4" or 6". Makes a great carry piece, mine is my EDC. Wonder how close our SN's are, mine is also 1980. 76K3332

The grips in the pictures /// those are called 'Magnas' ?

A good price for it and a stainless gun with a few minor handling marks can easily be brought back to like new in an afternoon if one desired to do so.

Nice find! I've been looking for one and would have been all over that for $650..00. .

Congratulations on that deal! Super nice gun and GOOD price. My 66-2 set me back $725 some years ago. Not as sharp as yours. Bob

 

[lkabug]

That price is much better than good.

rjm6120 you got a big discount from your co-worker for the M-66-1.

Yes, Majick47 he definitely took care of me!

Yes harley0711, the "magna" style of grip panels only covered the sides of the grip frame, but did not cover the front strap, nor the back strap.

Yup, you stole that one. I paid $650 for my dash 2 model almost 10 years ago. Congrats.

Vette you "Stole" that K frame 10 years ago @ $650... The OP strait up "Strong-Arm-Robbed" the guy he got his for...

In all honesty, the OP's gun is an $1K to $1,200 piece "IF" bought on GunBroker... I'm happy both of you got yours for what you did.

I've wanted a K frame for years, same style, same model, same length... But the J and N frames are where my heart is and I don't need another "Smith n' Wesson" addiction so I'll leave the K's to you guys.

OP, nice score... You got something for 50% off that is near minty!

Those are some very nice looking grips on yours.
