Today was a special one.
Way back in '94, a couple years out of college, just bought my first house, just married wife #1 and not a lot of $ to spend. I'd found a Model 66-2 in a pile of police trade in S&Ws for the monster price of $240! I took that thing everywhere and it ended up being my first carry piece when Ohio passed our CCW bill into law.
Almost didn't go to the show this morning, 17 degrees out and blowing snow at 30+ MPH and an hour plus drive. I always find something good at that show so off I went. I was all set to buy a nice S&W 681 police trade when i spotted the 66. When I first picked it up I was hoping it was my old one, but it turned out to be a 66-1. It's really dirty and the grips have to go, but it locks up like a bank vault and the SA trigger is maybe 4#!
Talked the guy down to $800 and ran off with a big old grin.
I was going to order the King Cobra this weekend, but the 66 will do just fine.
