Variants and History
The Taurus 66 has been around for a while; it‚s considered a classic medium-frame .357 revolver.
There’s a “66 Combat" version introduced more recently (2025) that’s tuned more for defensive use:
3-inch barrel
DAO-only (double action only) with no hammer spur
Fiber-optic front sight
Drilled & tapped for optics (Taurus Optics Ready — T.O.R.O.)
Weight: ~36.5 oz (unloaded)
Overall length: ~8.40 in.
Older versions may have different barrel lengths including 2.5", 3", 4", and 6".
According to a Taurus catalog, the 66 was notable for having a 7-shot capacity in .357 Magnum, which is more than many other medium-frame .357s.
Strengths and Considerations
Pros:
Higher capacity (7 rounds) for a magnum revolver — that’s a strong point.
Versatility with ammo: can shoot .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P.
Durable build (steel / stainless versions).
Safety features (transfer bar, security lock).
Good for both target shooting and self-defense (especially the newer Combat model).
Considerations:
Being a full-size medium frame, it‚s not a “snub nose" — might be a bit large/heavy for deep concealment.
Recoil: .357 Magnum means significant recoil, especially with full-power loads.
Depending on model, weight might be a factor for carry.
As with any revolver, careful maintenance is important.
