Thanks Shafter for the message.

The only 66 that I ever owned (imported back from Australia) was about 15 years ago. It was a SRC and I turned it around about a year later and sold it to a doctor from Texas. I do own one 86 and four 73's. One of the 73's has the special order bull barrel and two of them are SRC's.

I really like the 73's and at one time had a few more, however, I really fell in love with the 92's and like their feel when shooting them....The heavier 73's just feel clunky compared to the lighter 92's.....Just a preference.

Thanks again for the message
