Agency-marked on the right side of the frame, this revolver bears the North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement crest and a "North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement" stamp. This clearly identifies its service history and adds verified context to its origin.
The Model 66-2 is a stainless steel K-frame with a 4-inch heavy barrel, partial underlug, and a shrouded ejector rod. The barrel has a longitudinal rib with a serrated top for glare reduction, and the six-shot fluted cylinder and square-butt frame are finished in brushed/satin stainless.
Its DA/SA action includes a smooth-faced trigger and an exposed hammer with a checkered spur. Sights consist of a pinned ramp front with a red/orange insert and a micrometer-adjustable rear, offering a precise and user-tunable sight picture.
As a 66-2 engineering change, it has a non-pinned barrel and a non-recessed cylinder. Additional period-correct details include matching serial numbers on the yoke and butt, a right-side "MADE IN U.S.A." rollmark, and no internal key lock. Manufactured in 1982 in the United States.
