Most wheelguns in this class hold six. The Taurus 66 gives you seven rounds of .357 Magnum in a medium frame that still carries and handles like a classic duty revolver. The 4 inch barrel is the sweet spot for a do-it-all revolver, long enough to get real velocity out of magnum loads and keep the sight radius useful, short enough to stay handy on a nightstand or a hip. At 38 ounces of stainless steel, it has enough heft to soak up magnum recoil without beating you up, and the finger-grooved rubber grips do a nice job taking the sting out of the rest.
The matte stainless frame, barrel, and cylinder shrug off sweat, humidity, and general neglect better than blued steel ever will, which matters on a gun that might sit in a drawer or a truck for months between range trips. The double action/single action trigger lets you run it fast in DA or cock the exposed hammer for slow, deliberate single action work. A ramp front sight pairs with a micrometer adjustable rear, so you can dial your zero for whatever load you settle on instead of hunting for ammo that hits to fixed sights.
Since it is chambered in .357 Magnum, the Model 66 also digests .38 Special and .38 Special +P, and that flexibility is half the appeal. Cheap .38 wadcutters for practice, +P hollow points for the home, full-house magnums when you want the fireball. New folks can start soft and work up. The transfer bar safety means the hammer cannot reach the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled all the way through, and the built-in Taurus Security System lets you lock the action with a key when it is stored.
This platform has been a favorite of security professionals for decades because it just runs. Simple manual of arms, seven-shot capacity, sights you can adjust, and stainless construction that lasts. It is a lot of revolver for the money, and it covers home defense, range duty, and trail carry without breaking a sweat.
Yes. Like any revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, the Model 66 safely fires .38 Special and .38 Special +P from the same cylinder. That makes it easy to practice with softer, cheaper .38 loads and step up to magnums whenever you want.
The cylinder holds seven rounds, one more than most traditional medium frame .357 revolvers. That extra round comes without making the gun oversized, since it still rides on a medium frame at 38 ounces.
The rear sight is micrometer adjustable for windage and elevation, paired with a fixed ramp front sight. That lets you zero the gun for a specific load, which is handy since point of impact can shift quite a bit between light .38s and full-power magnums.
It checks the right boxes. Seven rounds of .357 Magnum or .38 +P, a simple double action trigger, a transfer bar that keeps the hammer off the firing pin unless the trigger is fully pulled, and rust-resistant stainless construction. The 4 inch barrel also gives defensive loads good velocity while keeping the gun manageable indoors.
