The Taurus Model 66 revolver combines classic seven-shot capacity with modern stainless steel construction for reliable performance in both .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P chamberings. This full-size revolver features a 6-inch barrel that maximizes velocity and accuracy potential across both caliber options.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard six-shot revolvers, the Taurus 66 accommodates seven rounds in its cylinder while maintaining the robust frame strength needed for .357 Magnum pressures. The matte stainless steel finish resists corrosion better than blued alternatives and reduces glare during target acquisition. The 6-inch barrel length provides approximately 150-200 fps velocity advantage over 4-inch variants while extending the sight radius for improved accuracy.
Key Features
- Seven-round cylinder capacity in .357 Magnum/.38 Special +P
- 6-inch barrel with matte stainless steel construction
- Finger-grooved black rubber grip for secure handling
- Adjustable rear sight for precise windage and elevation
- Transfer bar safety system prevents accidental discharge

The extended barrel length delivers consistent performance with both light .38 Special loads for practice and full-power .357 Magnum rounds for hunting or defense applications. Target shooters benefit from the longer sight radius and reduced muzzle flip, while hunters appreciate the additional velocity for ethical game harvesting. The stainless construction withstands exposure to moisture and cleaning solvents without degradation.
