About the Smith & Wesson Model 66
The Smith & Wesson Model 66 is a stainless steel, double-action/single-action revolver manufactured by Smith & Wesson. Built on the medium-sized K-frame, it chambers the .357 Magnum cartridge and is designed for personal defense, duty carry, and range use.
How the California versions differ
- All four versions chamber the .357 Magnum cartridge, which also accepts .38 Special ammunition.
- The SKU 10061 and 10061A variants feature a shorter 2.75-inch barrel, making them more compact and easier to carry concealed.
- The SKU 162662 and 162662A variants feature a longer 4.25-inch barrel, which provides a longer sight radius and is better suited to range use or home defense.
- The "A" suffix versions (10061A and 162662A) are separate roster entries but share the same barrel length as their non-suffix counterparts; buyers should confirm current stock availability and any minor configuration differences with the retailer.
- An MSRP of $569 is listed specifically for SKU 162662; pricing for the other variants is not provided in the roster data.
Who it suits
The Model 66 suits shooters seeking a versatile, all-stainless revolver for home defense or range use, with the 2.75-inch versions appealing more to those prioritizing concealed or duty carry.
