Here is my 66-2 wearing a set of Kuracs:

The same gun with the original grips:

Nice set of Kuracs! Beautiful M66.

I used to have a M19 until my daughter saw it today and demanded it.

66-2 4"

How do i date a 66-2 with serial # AZB3245?

Thanks

First you talk nice to her and show her some respect. Then you start to woo her. Maybe buy her some flowers and have them sent to her workplace. Buy her dinner some night.

All joking aside, the SCSW says the -2 change started in '82 and ended in '85. I'm sure someone will be along to narrow that down.

 

[spelliott]

Soo bad...

Thanks

This has been one of my most favorite threads on this forum. But up until recently I haven't actually owned a Combat Magnum. Well that all changed with the pruchase of a very nice 19-3 w/ 2.5" barrel. It has a serial number of 6K292XX. Has gas ring on cylinder and came from factory with target hammer and target trigger. Now I just have to find a 66 2.5"!!

Hope you like!!

That is a GREAT beginning to the C.M. world.

My 1979 era 19-4 ( edited to say -4...typed -2 by mistake)

My 1979 era 19-2

VERY nice piece.

 

[derek45auto]

Thanks, I just got it last week.


It's got some holster wear, but the crown, end-shake, timing,are all perfect, no flame cutting what so ever.
Mechanically, it's in wonderful shape.

Pinned and recessed

I gave her a mild tune-up and WOLFF spring kit. Like all K-frames, the gun shoots wonderfully

I've always bought L and N frames, but I have fond childhood memories of shooting a 4" K-frame with my Dad.

This is prefect for teaching my daughters to shoot, and will make a fine home defence gun for my Wife, as she's not confidant with my 1911's

Thanks for the compliment! This will definitely not be the last C.M.!!!

I corrected it.

Sharp eye Sir.

I'm still dying for someone to pop up with a nickel 3" 19 and a 3" pinto 19... I know they are out there... Someone dig in the back and unearth that safe queen...

Shouldn't the 66 come in a blue box? Mine did.

Thank you !!

Weather was beautiful, so I took some outside pictures of the 19-3 for better lighting. Lovin' this gun!!

I love this picture, but it looks like there is some frame damage at the edge where the barrel attaches. It is just a weird reflection!

 

[mlazarus]

Rescued

I know it's been altered, and that might be a sin, but you should have seen the before pictures.

Yes, it should. This is just a prop box used from my mdl 15-3 nickel 4". I don't have a box for the mdl 66. Just using it for a S&W touch.

Beautiful piece Mark, This is what i'm looking for next purchase. You tired of this one yet?

That may be the finest smooth sided Hogue Monogrip I have ever seen. The new rear sight screams business.
