Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Smith & Wesson introduced the first Model 66 in 1970. Labeled as a Combat Magnum, the revolver was chambered for the potent .357 Magnum. Built on the company’s K frame, the guns offered a balance of relatively lightweight and good durability. The gun was very similar to the popular Model 19, though with a stainless steel frame instead of one made of carbon steel. While the Model 19 remained a hot ticket with shooters and police departments, the Model 66 gained its following of enthusiasts and law enforcement agencies.
Various changes to the design took place over the years – several significant enough to warrant a model number update. These updated versions are designated with a hyphen and number on the gun’s frame. For example, the first engineering update designated the gun as Model 66-1. Although it survived in the company’s catalog past the mass transition of law enforcement agencies to the semi-automatic pistol in the 80s and 90s, Smith & Wesson dropped the gun from its catalog in the mid-2000s.
