The Model 66 No Dash is the stainless-steel K-frame variant of S&W's .357 Magnum line, and this example is a six-shot, DA/SA revolver with a 4-inch barrel. Its stainless frame, cylinder, and barrel feature a brushed/satin finish that complements the adjustable sight setup for practical shooting.
Key early features include the pinned barrel and a shrouded ejector rod. The top rib/topstrap is longitudinally serrated to reduce glare. Controls are classic S&W K-frame: a checkered cylinder latch and hammer spur, and a grooved trigger face.
The sighting system pairs a ramped, serrated front sight with a micrometer-click adjustable rear sight for precise windage and elevation adjustments. Factory markings include the S&W circular logo on the left side of the frame and "MADE IN U.S.A. MARCAS REGISTRADAS SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD, MASS."
It is currently fitted with aftermarket Pachmayr rubber grips that offer a secure hold. The revolver dates to 1971 and is accompanied by a period-correct blue two-piece S&W box with a serial-matched end label, plus the Smith & Wesson owner's manual.
