Interesting.
Most of the 6 inch model 19s have a different front sight.
Not sure witch sight I like better.
But I like 19s and 66s.

***** We know why you posted this, Stan. Empty slot behind trigger shows adjustable TRIGGER STOP has been removed. It was doctrine among some instructors to remove trigger stop. I shot one loose on a M-19, which then drops down enough to prevent full trigger sweep, preventing hammer fall. I’ve adjusted & tightened the trigger stop with Loctite Blue and never had a problem. Smith & Wesson did not put this target-type stop in the Model 29. For the .44 Mag, S&W placed a steel PIN inside the REBOUND SLIDE SPRING. Pin length adjusted with a file or stone. Ron Ricci, IHMSA Region One Director and one of the finest tournament organizers ever, bought one of the first M-66’s made in 6-inch. At that time stainless steel fever still raged. During a silhouette match he hands me his spanking new 66, with a box of Winchester Lubaloy 158 SWC. Don’t remember whether I doped it on chickens, or pigs, or went straight to 200 for rams, relying on a spotter to get me on, but used the S&W screwdriver and shot from prone. The shooter to my right finished his bank, leaving three rams on the rail... I held front & rear sight level, for the sight picture to just touch meat @ 6 o’clock*, and picked ‘em off, center chest. Thinking to myself, “Man, this revolver shoots, even with these copper-wash lead rockets.” Those were some hot rounds. Look back at Ron Ricci... “That’s good enough,” he says. * A 6 o’clock hold that touches meat provides better repeatability that a sight picture which allows light between front sight and target. To take a center hold on silhouettes obscures half of the target, which always appears fuzzy, as the eye chisels the top of the front sight. The M-66 is an M-19 dressed in a stainless tuxedo. And both play accuracy double to the beautiful K-38. David Bradshaw |
