    I had this out of the safe last night and wanted to post it for you plastic semi-auto fans so you can appreciate the gun makers art, instead of something that came out of a mold. LOL. It's a S&W model 66-1. A pinned and recessed beauty.

    I have its lightweight cousin, a Model 37 Air-weight. It's almost 60 years old, but it's a great shooter still. It may not be pretty, but it's a fine little carry piece.

    I've always been a "function over form" guy.

    What's not to love ? That's as pretty as it gets.

    Now you did it. Going to cruise GB looking at short barrelled K-frames.

    Nice pic.

    This pictures ALWAYS immediately comes to mind when seeing his name. :thumbsup:

    Anytime I see a M19 4" , I think of him.

    Got to meet him twice at the SHOT show and he was still a forminable presence in his late 70s. The man was 6' 6" and that picture doesn't lie, his hands are that big.

    Plastic?

    I'm sorry... please pardon me if I just don't "get" the whole contrary competitiveness between what folks like... or don't...

    Why must one always be "better than" another? Every piece I own ... whether steel or plastic ... has its own appeal and purpose.

    Is it a nice looking revolver? Yes... It certainly is.

    Does it need to be compared to a polymer framed pistol to make it a nice looking revolver? NO, it certainly does not.

    If only they would make a polymer framed revolver in .40 S&W that would fit a 1911 holster.
