What’s Included
- Smith & Wesson Model 66-3 revolver
The Model 66-3 is part of S&W’s Combat Magnum series, built on the stainless K-frame for a balance of strength and carryability. This example uses a 4 inch heavy-profile barrel with the standard K-frame ejector-rod shroud (partial underlug), giving it a steady sight picture and smooth ejection.
Sight configuration is set up for precise adjustment and quick acquisition. It has a ramped front sight with an orange insert and a micrometer-adjustable rear, complemented by a serrated sighting rib and a serrated topstrap to cut glare.
This dash-3 variant incorporates notable internal updates: the radius stud package, revised yoke retention system, a floating hand, and a hammer-nose bushing. It is also pre-MIM and pre-internal-lock, aligning it with traditional S&W construction features valued by many enthusiasts.
The revolver operates in double-action/single-action and carries a smooth trigger face for controlled press. An exposed hammer with a checkered spur aids confident single-action cocking. It wears checkered hardwood target stocks with S&W medallions, and the brushed stainless frame, cylinder, and receiver provide durable, corrosion-resistant service.
