Here's a picture of my first three S&W revolvers; based on classic models and carefully chosen to provide for a range of possible uses. Top left is a nickel Model 36 with flat latch. Top right is Model 66-3 with 3" barrel and stag grips. Bottom is a pre-27. All three shoot as sweetly as you can possibly imagine.

I do have one question about the front sight on the 66. It's different from most 66s and is missing the little orange piece. Does anyone know if my front sight could be original or was it changed in the past? Thanks

PS. This is my first attempt at adding photos using PhotoBucket. The learning process is a bit slow (OK, MY learning process) but it should be easier from now on...
