New (old) gun
I picked up my Heller celebration gun (well, really I was going to buy it anyways, but Heller was a good excuse) on Sunday, and took a few pictures today.
Smith & Wesson 66-1, .357 Magnum with a 4 inch barrel. Bought used, but only test fired, and came with all it’s papers, tools, and the original box.
I had been looking to pick up a revolver, and this fit the bill completely.
I didn’t get a chance to fire it yet, but should this weekend.
NICE!
I hate that “have a new gun but can’t get to the range” feeling.

It’s a “-1”, which means it was made ’77 and ’82.
The barrel does not appear to be pinned, which would normally indicate a “-2”, but this is probably a “transitional gun”.
I’d say ’82, probably. It should have a serial number either on the butt or on the frame behind the crane. The number will look like either “125K1234” or “AAC1234”. Can you put up the S/N with “X” for the last two or three digits? That will let me give you the exact year of production.
Tam says from the serial number that it was made in 1981, same year I was born. 🙂
Thanks, Tam!

I would like to buy a s&w in 2″5.

Thank you
