Who wants any of their property stolen? I certainly don't want my car stolen. Even if there was nothing at all in the car, I still don't want it stolen.

I used to keep a Colt King Cobra 4" in my old pickup - in Kentucky we have been allowed to keep handguns in the glove compartment of a car "for protection of travelers" for as long as there have been cars.
One day a guy I work with, who commuted on a motorcycle, needed to run over to one of our plants across town to pick up some parts for his project, and he asked to borrow my truck. He was gone all morning, and I was starting to wonder if he was having problems. Anyway he finally got back, walked up and dropped the keys on my desk and stated "I wrecked your truck!" He explained that he was stopped at a red light and some lady rear-ended him (damage was only to my rear bumper). When the police got there for the report the cop asked for the registration and proof of insurance for the truck. He said he leaned over and popped the glove compartment open, and there was this big ol' revolver. He said he slammed the glove compartment closed, and told the cop that it was a borrowed truck and he didn't know where the papers were.
The cop (who maybe saw the pistol anyway) was able to get the info from the computer, so there was no problem. But it sure shocked the guy!
But he never asked to borrow my truck again.
BTW, I stopped using the King Cobra as a truck gun when I found out how much it was worth! That old Toyota tripled in value when that King Cobra was in the glove compartment.

That is the perfect ccw for anyone! I have had one for over 30 years and it still is the go to gun on a daily basis. Oh, and you stole it! Nice buy! Kyle
There seems to be some agreement with you in that I got a very good price on the gun. I can tell you the seller has told me I got a great deal on it, and he has told me that more than once since I took it home.
I can't think of a better choice for a revolver. Make sure gets some range time with it. And pray she never needs it for safety

Just as soon as the smith finishes the trigger job its off to the range for the wife.
Wow, great find and excellent choice. I would like to find one if those for my wife. She hasn't gotten her permit either but keeps a car gun. This has been her car gun for probably 15 years. It has an excellent trigger job as it was previously owned by a State Law Engorcement Agent on the pustol team.

You and your wife have good tastes. You could not do much better than a S&W 66-1 for your wife as a car gun or even as a carry gun. Many years ago I carried a 66-2 while working as a Security Lieutenant and Private Investigator. After my wife tried it on the range it became her gun. My wife loads the 66-2 with 125 Gr. 38 Special +P SJHP. That 66-2 served me very well and has served my wife just as well. I am sure that your wife's 66-1 will serve her just as well.
BTW I'm a Colt guy to with 2 Pythons.

She is pretty excited to get it back from the Smith and start practicing with it.
We have 15 pythons. I got the Colt bug pretty bad.
We took it to the range today and the trigger job was so worth it. I, and more importantly my wife, think this turned out to be an excellent choice. The DA action is so smooth now. I hope she never has to use it for the purpose it was purchased. I have said this many times that I am a Colt guy and because of that my wife is Colt as well. This gun is a sweet revolver. (I do love taking out my 686's too).
