S&W 66 4.25IN 357MAG CA

The CA compliant S&W 66 4.25IN 357MAG revolver pairs together the K-Frame size with the power of the 357 Magnum round giving the user a compact, yet effective handgun for every day use.

The Smith and Wesson K-Frame revolvers, such as the S&W 66 4.25IN 357MAG CA, is one of the most important frame revolvers in S&W’s history. Originally made to take the 38 Special caliber, these pistols have stood the test of time and have proven themselves both in the field and on the range.

The S&W 66 4.25IN 357MAG CA, dubbed the Combat Magnum, entered the field of the K-Frame revolvers on May 5, 1970. This series of revolvers took the legendary M19 and combined it with Stainless Steel giving it strength and rigidity past anything that normal cast iron would be able to do. With the new Model 66 Combat Magnum came the next level of quality and craftsmanship that is still seen in the revolver today.

The 4.25 inch barrel of the CA compliant S&W 66 allows for the user to carry the firearm easily while still being able to easily shoot it. in addition, the increased strength of the revolver in correlation with the 357 magnum caliber allows the shooter to use both hot loaded ammo and the lighter 38 Special cartridges when at the shooting range.

HISTORY OF THE 357 MAGNUM

357 Magnum is a cartridge that was first released in 1935 as a more powerful version of the 38 Special. The 38, although a very good cartridge on its own, was not meeting up to the standards of the police and outdoorsmen. The 357 magnum was created to have more stopping power and distance while not compromising the size of the firearm that it will be in.
