Should have just kept the _______. Fill in the blank.

Ah, much better. At least till I can get some compact, wood, aftermarket grips for it.

I've got a pair of these on my M13 and will order a pair for the M66.

Not a 66, but close. My 3" 65 has become my carry gun of late. The 3" 66's are priced out of sight, and being the cheap bastid I am, I snagged up this 65 with CTC's on it for a decent price a while back. For a carry gun I like the fixed rear and lower profile front sights. Shoots like a dream.

I have a three inch, round butt, 65 too. Currently, my EDC is its cousin, the Model 13, same configuration. Love the looks of the 2.5" 66 and 19, though.

Who did it? Sees like it would just be a matter of the owner buying the cylinder and switching it out at will, assuming they're available. Moon clips, I assume.

Bought a brand new cylinder complete with ejector rod on ebay. I was lucky in that it dropped right into the 66 but would not drop into a 65 3" without fitting. TK Custom did the rechambering and milling for the moon clips however the chambers are cut to headspace on the case mouth so one can fire rounds without the clips. I was told by TK that 9mm should also work but have not thought to try them yet. They advised not to fire 9x23 as it may damage the gun. Did the same thing to a 3" Model 60.... A 2" Model 649 just had the original cylinder cut and will shoot Supers and Specials...

Swag: I have to tell you how I came about "obtaining" one of my Model 66 2" pistols. A rich married couple heard I moved luxury vehicles for a price and they needed their Hummer H-1 moved from their St. Augustine, Florida "winter getaway" MANSION back to their main MANSION in Montana. They offered me $2,000.00 plus food and lodging to drive one of their Hummer H-2's down to St. Augustine and then drive the H-1 Hummer back to Montana. Naw I says - I'll do it for $1,000.00 plus expenses. Off I go to Florida (3 friggin 800 miles days it took - each way!) and stayed in their mansion overnight. Once back home to Montana they tried to force their originally offered $2,000.00 on me but I refused so's they made me take two unfired "yacht protection" firearms and 10 one hundred dollar bills from them! They were fearful of marina thefts in Florida and had removed the guns from their two yachts and brought them to their permanent home in Montana! Now, I could refuse money but could not refuse the guns. One of them was a Model 66 2" that was unfired but they had discarded the box! I was in heaven. One of my all-time favorite pistols, and, I got it for "free" - just drivin and sight seein. I still haven't fired that particular pistol. Long live the Model 66's. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
