Guns Listing ID: 654963



TAURUS MODEL 66, .357 MAG, 7 SHOTS, 6 \" BARREL, THIS REVOLVER IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITIION.

The Taurus 66 is a 7-shot, .357 Magnum/.38 Special +P medium-frame revolver available in 3, 4, or 6-inch barrel configurations. Often praised for being an affordable and durable, it is popular for duty or personal defense.

**Key Features & Design**
**High Capacity: Its seven-round cylinder provides a significant advantage over many similarly sized revolvers that only hold six.
**Optics Ready (Combat Model): The newer Taurus 66 Combat is drilled and tapped for an optics plate (Shield RMSc footprint), a rare feature for revolvers in this price range.
**Recoil Management: The all-steel construction and full-underlug barrel add front-end weight, which helps tame the snap of full .357 Magnum loads.
**Safety: Includes a transfer-bar safety to prevent accidental discharges and the Taurus Security System (TSS), allowing the gun to be locked with a key.

**Performance Reviews**
Reviewers generally praise the Model 66 for its value but note some trade-offs in refinement compared to premium competitors like the Ruger GP100.
**Trigger Quality: Many users report a relatively heavy double-action pull—typically around 9.5 to 10 lbs. While some find it \"gritty\" out of the box, reviewers from The Firearm Blog and Guns and Ammo note that it often smooths out significantly with use.
**Accuracy: Testers from Gun Tests achieved groups as tight as 1.28 inches at 25 yards with .38 Special ammo. It is widely considered \"more accurate than the shooter\" for defensive purposes.
**Reliability: Long-term evaluations show it to be a rugged \"workhorse\" that handles varied ammunition types without issue.
