The Model 66 no dash is the stainless version of S&W's Combat Magnum, built on the K-Frame and finished in brushed/satin stainless steel throughout. This 1975 example retains hallmark early-production features including a pinned barrel and recessed cylinder chambers.
The 4-inch barrel has a heavy profile with a partial underlug and a serrated rib, paired with a serrated topstrap to cut glare. Sights are classic and practical: a ramped front blade with a red/orange insert and a black, micrometer-click adjustable rear.
Mechanicals are set up for double-action/single-action use, with a smooth-faced trigger and an exposed hammer with a checkered spur. The six-shot, fluted cylinder uses a knurled ejector-rod tip, reflecting the period-correct details valued on these revolvers.
Factory-style checkered wood grips with S&W medallions complement the stainless construction. Markings include "MOD. 66" on the yoke cut and the S&W crest on the left frame, consistent with the model and era.
