Smith & Wesson Model 66 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Smith & Wesson introduced the first Model 66 in 1970. Labeled as a “combat magnum,” the revolver was chambered for the potent .357 Mag. The new gun was very similar to the popular Model 19, though with a stainless steel frame instead of one made of carbon steel. The Model 19 remained a hot ticket with shooters and police departments, but the Model 66 gained its own following of enthusiasts and law enforcement agencies. The new Model 66 has a stainless steel frame and cylinder with a two-piece barrel. The two-piece barrel combines an inner barrel with a shroud. According to Grant Cunningham, accomplished gunsmith and firearms trainer, “The system can, if properly engineered, tension the barrel and achieve a slight gain in precision.”

I already owned a model 66-2 circa 1970 and absolutely adore the revolver. It was my first handgun and was a gift from my Father in Law. I decided to order the current model 66 to see what the difference was. NO DIFFERENCE EXCEPT FOR APPEARANCE. The sight
