Model 66-4. 3" !

[tj3006]

I just bought a very rare S&W model 66.
It is a 3 inch factory ported model 66 -4.
As I understand it. 2000 were built between 1988 and 1996. But only the last 500 had color cased hammer and trigger. The cation is way smooth.

I bet that smacks. Even with the porting

So with the porting, would this be considered a "Performance Center" revolver? Yeah, I bet they slicked up the action too. Great find. That is a nice revolver.

I don't think it is a performance center gun, I need to find out more about it.

How many $$$$$ ?

Great find!

I found the pair in my avatar - a 66 & 60 (both no-dashes) a few years ago both unfired (no boxes or paperwork) and both had custom trigger and action jobs.

Needless to say they are both 'fired' now! - and often!

Glad to hear you shoot them. They are gun's after all.

Value of a Limited Run of 66-4, Mag-Na-Port Special .357...

I acquired this and need opinions on auction value....excellent condition no box, just revolver.

Beautiful, I have the mod 66-8 2.75"

I find the model 66 to be very comfortable to shoot !
I shot some factory magnums, and it was no problem at all.
The only issue it has is that when you shoot the ports cause the front sight to get dirty quick,,,tj

The early Model 66 had a stainless steel rear sight, looks like yours does? Sights were changed after the first year
of production. Nice pistol I use to have one.

Yep, but I found a later blackened one to swap it out with.

It's difficult to shoot with the original SS rear.

I get my dental work done in March and I will be selling a nice 2 inch 66. It's taking forever to get into the oral surgeon.

When you are ready to sell shoot me a pm and price

I noticed since I got mine, the prices have really gone up for these... an awesome daily carry, and not bad on the recoil dept with mine not having any porting.
