I shot one of our old retired Model 66s at work the other day. Now I realize why you like 'em.
If you are not as familiar with Smith revolvers as some of the newer designs, I'd suggest the 686. When I started shooting, there was no 686. A 19 was one of my first guns. I think the 686 is much better. Doc's two 686's look pretty sweet. Of course, right now I've got a 19 and a 28 and no 686. lol
The PD in our county seat had 66's when I was a kid IIRC. They sent them in for 681's on some big trade-in. I remember one of them used the former issue gun while they were waiting on the 681's. It was a 38-44 Heavy Duty. After the 681's they got 4506's. I have no idea what they currently run.
