The Model 66 Combat Magnum is a stainless-steel K-frame revolver that police officers and outdoor people have trusted for decades. This is the 66-8 version, chambered in .357 Magnum, and it comes with grips and the factory box. A revolver of this quality holds its value, and the box adds to it.

The K-frame is a good balance between weight and control. It is light enough to carry on a belt and heavy enough to handle magnum loads. Many shooters practice with .38 Special and keep magnum cartridges for serious use. The double-action trigger is smooth, and a good one is a pleasure to shoot.

On a used revolver, check the timing carefully. Cock the hammer slowly and watch the cylinder lock into place on each chamber. Check the forcing cone for erosion, the cylinder face for burn marks, and the barrel for pitting. Inspect the grips and the finish for wear.

Revolvers do not need magazines or batteries, which is one reason the 66 has such a following. Keep it clean and lightly oiled and it will outlast you. The revolver is sold as described, in used condition, with grips and the factory box. It ships to your FFL dealer, where the background check is completed.
