Any model 66 ( its stainless / not silver - by the way ) ... is a steal at $200 if its in good shape.

Model 66's in my area / are all running $ 500 - $700 these days depending on condition ( espececially a no dash, or a dash 1 - or even a dash 2 ).

I have a pair of 66's in 4" - and I don't shoot them every week / but I've never been overly cautious about shooting .357 mag loads in them ( or the older model 19's for that matter either ). I probably put 15 boxes a year thru each of my model 66's and 19's ... so 750 rounds a year maybe ...and all of them were purchased used / but I've had many of them for 5 - 10 yrs...
