Yeah those grips are kind of cool. They have one in a local gun shop near me with thensame grips. That sparked my memory to get this thing out and film it
Take it from me---they are weak. The first handgun I ever bought (in 1982 when I was 19) was a Model 19. Three months after I bought it I blew it to kingdom come. NORAD is still tracking the top half of the cylinder and the top strap which remain in orbit. The weakness in Smith and Wesson six-shot revolvers is that the cylinder notches are over the thinnest part of each chamber. That's one reason I generally prefer Colts. On the plus side, Smith built me a new gun (having blown-up guns in circulation is bad for business), but I've never shot anything but .38s through it.
Wow that is a hell of a story. I have several Smith and wessons but inhale never actually blown one up. I am going to compare a K frame to an L frame soon. Thanks for watching
I found a 66-2 with a short barrel in a gun shop. It was pretty dirty like someone had shot lead reloads through it but the cylinder Or maybe the cowboy action stuff. Anyway no line on the cylinder between chambers and the action seemed nice and tight (no play) also no evidence of flame cutting. Is there anything else I should be looking at before buying it?
@miimprovement9332 no. You have covered all the basics. Buy it. Then clea. It very good. I also have a video on how to get the lead off the front of the cylinder. It will look brand new and you should be happy
Another great S&W revolver. Thanks for sharing, Terry! 👍👍👍💥

The wide trigger and hammer are not that common. They are a nice upgrade.
I did not think so..my 629 has the same trigger
👍 i love mine
