    Get the serial number and Google "S&W revolver age by serial number" or something like that. There are websites with the years for serial number ranges.

    No dude is going to get shot in the chest at 300 yards and look down and say "What is that, a 3 MOA group?"

    Just an FYI, the 686 is a L frame. So most things you look at for the 686 will not work with your 66 (K frame).

    2.5" K Frames have something of a cult following. They are much less common than the 4" & even 6" versions in my experience. Very nice piece.
    The truth can only offend those who live a lie.

    The barrel is pinned and the cylinder is recessed. That is a very desirable S&W pistol as they definitely do not make them like that anymore.

    You can get a letter from the S&W Historical Foundation (for $75 the last I heard) for provenance if you’re interested. (I got one for my service revolver several years ago.)

    My retired Australian Police S&W Model 10-5 (3” bbl) seems to be the perfect midsized CCW revolver.

    A 3" RM has always tickled my fancy. Patton's "killing gun" so to speak
