S&W M66 F-Comp PC

[maxicooper]

First day at the range with my 66 F-Comp, I'm so excited.

I loves the feel of the gun. DA trigger pull is so smooooooth, SA is very crisp.

Using Win .38 spl 125 gr jhp +p and PMC .357 mag 150 gr. Starfire. Good result, and surprisingly that I didn't feel that much different in recoil from both rounds. Recoil is very manageable on the starfire.

I'm so happy.

Btw, what rounds that you all use on your 66 F-Comp?

I like PMC gold 150gr JHP

Has anyone shot both the ported and non-ported versions of the 3" 66? I'm interested in whether the porting really lessens perceived recoil, and whether it increases the flash.

Definitely increases flash with 357 Mag loads; especially noticeable at night.

I promised pictures and today was the perfect day to get them done. Here's my bonafides to be in the club:

Why I like the S&W K-frame & Colt D-frame combo:

Same speedloaders fit both revolvers, so if you carry the K-frame as a duty gun, and the D-frame as a back-up, your spare ammo will fit either gun (as long as it's loaded with 38s). Carry six 357 Mags (such as my favorite - the Winchester Silvertip) in the K-frame, and 38s in all your speedloaders as well as in the Colt, and you've got a tactically-smart combo for a wheelgun man.

I've had one of those for abt 3 years. Found it used in a local shop. One of the best I have; you won't regret getting it. Great trigger pull.

Great looking F-Comp. Thanks for sharing.

I've got number LHF00xx, a Model 66-4 F-Comp. I bought it new in October, 1995. Mine came in a blue plastic case. Uncle Mike's fingergroove grips. The information I got said the M-66-4 F-Comp was a batch of 600 guns. I paid $579.76 for it, sales tax and Brady fee included.

That would be a good project, take this gun and my 3 inch Model 66-3 and shoot them side-by-side to get a comparison.

tocohillsguy,

My memory is a bit fuzzy but I don't recall any noticeable difference between my 65LS and 66 F-Comp. I usually only shot 158gr .38's. Sadly I traded the 66 away but I still have the 65 and memories.

Hate to drag up an oldie..................but

Does any one know why the "Performance Center" logo is stamped on the left and right side of the barrels ?? !!

I found this strange.
