The model 60-2 the model 66 no dash. The 66 was the second gun I ever bought. Got it in 1976 just before I joined the Air Force.

The S&W M66 and M60 are great guns... as you know of course they are simply stainless steel versions of the M19 and the M36... both among the finest revolvers ever made...

I've been going back and forth on getting a 60 vs a 66. Either would get carried more than shot, but I still want to shoot it enough to get comfortable with it. Every 'vintage' 60 I find has been beat up pretty bad.

Ruber the Mod 60 in my collection was bought new and I still have the blue box it came in. I only carried it a short while in an ankle holster many years ago.

Hello,
Those are too very nice revolvers donp326! A friend of mine in Switzerland just picked a M-66 last week and absolutely has fallen in love with it! He ordered a set of rosewood grips for it and a nice Galco pancake holster.

Chris the Mod 66 are expensive now days. Folks want $600 to $1000 for them here. What did you friend in Switzerland have to pay for his?

J frames and K frames remain favorites. They simply can be great.

Hello donp326, I suspect around 600/CF (Swiss Francs) as used American handgun prices generally run the same over in Switzerland as they do here in the United States. Chris the Mod 66 are expensive now days. Folks want $600 to $1000 for them here. What did you friend in Switzerland have to pay for his? When he finally picked his up with from the local dealer with the proper paperwork, (you have to apply for a permit with the local Canton Police that allows you to purchase 3 firearms on the permit after your background check); he discovered that the cylinder was out of time. He replaced the cylinder hand himself with a "spare" he had on hand and got the Model 66 running perfectly. The Model 66 joins about four other K-Frames that he currently owns and was produced in the 1970's according to his copy of the SCSW that I bought and sent him many years ago.... BTW, I finally met my friend in 2008 when on vacation in Switzerland year's ago and he has a fascinating collection of firearms. Chris |
