[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3313780, member: 1132"] Clay, that particular Model 66 is a "sweet spot" gun. This was when S&W was upgrading their manufacturing processes and QC got a lot better. It has the very desirable updated extractor star and cylinder latch, but retains the forged internals. Later guns went to MIM internals and a frame mounted firing pin. There are pros and cons to both, but for a stock gun yours is the better of the two variants. The only thing missing to make it the absolute best S&W fighting gun ever, are the locating pins on the extractor star from the early "pinned & recessed" revolvers. All in all, this is a true gem!
