This Smith & Wesson Model 66-2 is a used .357 Magnum revolver from 1988 production, serial AZH1125. It is a stainless steel double-action with a 6-inch barrel and checkered wood grips. The seller reports a very good bore, light marks on the metal and an overall condition they rate very good, and the original factory box and papers come with it.

A 6-inch stainless revolver is more at home on a Texas range or beside the bed than under a jacket, and the double-action trigger and long barrel make it an easy gun to shoot well. On the buying side, Texas asks for no permit, registration or waiting period; you show photo ID at the dealer, fill out Form 4473 and wait on the NICS check, and the Department of Public Safety notes a current Texas License to Carry can stand in for that check on a handgun purchase. The box and papers add to the appeal for a collector of late-1980s Smith & Wessons.
