Me Shooting a .38 Special Smith and Wesson Model 66

[BareFootSurvivalGear]

a Mod 66 is a 357mag...

[musfolk]

Very strong arm, but moves the gun a little on the shot, good shot technique, but you have to count the bullets that are in the drum ... XD

Had a 5" barrel model 10 in the early 70s. Ended up selling it because then I didn't know a place to shoot it. Wish I still had it. The reason why law enforcement went to autos was because of the Florida shootout. A couple of FBI agents were killed. The bad guys had autos while the cops had revolvers. the cops would get shot while they were reloading.

Nice tits!

[CenturyGamer]

Damn this dude looks like fat ass bitch.

[cha0scl0ud]

.38 recoil is soooo weak. Get a .44 Mag! lol

I just refinished one of these for a friend. Nice little gun...

[airsoftloverusp]

i see your not a gun person recoil needs to be low no so much you hit yourself n the face

[cha0scl0ud]

I'm a gunsmith. I was just commenting on the relatively light recoil of the .38 Spl round. Recoil isn't necessarily good or bad... if you're trying to shoot accurately and rapidly it's bad. But for a fun day at the range I like a little more kick.

Besides, there's a reason police departments aren't carrying these around anymore. More kick comes with more firepower. My .45 ACP 1911 would perform much better than one of these revolvers. They're excellent guns, just not my choice for defense.

[airsoftloverusp]

oh okay 1911 are good but think if your bullet or slide jams and you have to pry the bullet out and stuff with revolver thers no bullet jams and no slide to deal with but im not saying that i dont like semi autos i love hks

[cha0scl0ud]

My Commander (carry 1911) will cycle empty cases from the magazine without jamming. I have also practiced clearing stovepipes, doublefeeds, and other semi-auto malfunctions. Revolvers - while more reliable, are NOT impervious to malfunction. They are also mechanical in nature, and every mechanism will fail at one time or another. Best thing to do is train for the situation - that means hitting your target and clearing malfunctions. If you cannot do either, you might as well not carry a gun.

[dunkman357]

i have a big .38

[paraman90]

do you also blame an pencil for misspelling words?

[Elvishead]

You should have film from his other side, I like to see man boobs wiggle. LOL

Just kidding, nice guns. I wouldn't mind having one, but my Ruger SP101 works for me.

[keiton18]

you 9otta video of u 5hootin it i'd love 2 5ee it , I love ru9er5

[MeNaCe2s0cleTy]

lol.. spelling like that is just straight up retarded.

[musicchica889]

recoil isnt too bad at all. im a girl and its easy for me =] the ladysmith is the nicest shoot though i love it!

[mrhartman2007]

dude... stop snatchin the trigger....

[ShoreDude105]

It's a Smith & Wesson 357 Magnum Model 66, not 38 special, although you can fire 38 specials in a 357 Magnum but not the other way around. All around excellent revolver. This model used to be standard issue to Secret Service Agents before they went over to SIG 9mms. They had an awesome round for it,very effective. It's known as "The Treasury Load". It was a 110gr 38 special +P+ Hollow Point. Hot stuff and law enforcement restricted. Boxes show up for sale once in a while on the net or gun shows

[jprr95]

how bad is the recoil on this

[Lichlord]

.38's can have very mild recoil. If you're still concerned, try using a heavier gun with a longer barrel and shoot a round called a "wad cutter" (WC). WC's are designed for target shooting and are known for being the softest shooting rounds.

JACK OSBORNE!!!!

[Methadone4Life]

I prefer revolver for home defense. With a revolver..no jamming. You pull the trigger..it fires. I have a S&W snub 38 within arms reach at home..at all times. No..no children in home.

[hemiram04]

No Jams as long as you keep it clean, if they get filthy enough they can.

[jay473]

Hm, I dont like revolvers but this is one of my favorite guns....

[Bryan041589]

JT,

Shooting a revolver in single action doesn't "make the gun more accurate". It generally makes it easier to shoot the gun more accurately because of the lightened and shortened trigger pull.

[m22rockbox]

six shots will always be six shots then you clear the gun and empty. Thaks

[JTZ45]

A model 36 is a 5 shot, not a 6 shot like shown.

[m22rockbox]

count your dam shots 1 2 3 4 5 6 now you try

[JTZ45]

he clicks it a seventh time to make sure you are out of bullets because sometimes your off one and now you have a saftey hazard

[Bentrot]

Why are you wearing Ear protection really... its not loud its like shooting a 22 rifle...

[robertkalous]

you are a fool and dont know much.

[SwanKong11]

.38's bite the ears.

[JTZ45]

A .38 with a barrel that short is very loud. Ear protection should always be worn.(even for a .22) It may not seem that loud but .22s can damage your ears over time. A .38 with a barrel that short can deafen you in much less time. Always wear ear protection. A .22 isn't a must have, but for a .38 yes.

[themungoman]

Very nice, I'm gonna rob a bank with one of those.

[angusngng]

you didn't count.

[Ishttonpigeons]

would love to see you load your shot gun and get in firing position while someones breaking in your home

[mrrimfire]

Model 66 .38SPL? No such thing. The model 66 is a .357 Magnum that can shoot .38spl. I used to own two model 19s (the 2-1/2 snub and the 6" target with target trigger/hammer combo). The 66 was the same gun in stainless.

[cybershark329]

okie.. stop buying those mothersucking .38's get a .357 and you can still practice with .38's through it... not a cool gun... they didnt make the lady smith a .38 for nothing /:)

[robertkalous]

you stand anywere to 50 yrds and let me shoot you with that 38 and we will see a much a a girls gun it is

[cybershark329]

ohh you're a tough guy arent ya.. hell i wouldnt let ya shoot me at 100yards with a .22short.. im saying practice with your .38 special and then shoot .357 seriously... its not even like we can see your target. if you are going to post a video on the internet at least shoot the .357.. and no matter how much it shrivles your loins the smith and wesson ladysmith is chambered in .38 special cause its a lighter cartridge.. don't fret you can still keep your man card for supporting 2A..

[enigma800]

Cybershark329 is a little excited, isn't he.

[benelli762]

i can tell your a good shot, because you didn't flinch on that empty chamber.

[mrrimfire]

Why would he flinch shooting a .38 out of a .357?

[azqsxwdcefvrgbthny]

Nice to conceal on you though, alot better that a freakin' .50 cal.

[TheLSK]

What load were you using?

I like the 2.5 inch barrel, but the muzzle flash using magnum rounds is too massive.

[ConfusedSponge]

is that a single action revolver ?

[RedSRTFour]

no he's only cocking it between rounds because he thinks it's fun.

[JTZ45]

actually, it makes the gun more accurate than firing in double action.

[Cerberus413]

I do that with my 686 which has 7 shots

[DoubleMoneyBoyz]

you only have 6 in there Jr.
