oldfrank Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I have been wanting a super slick revolver for IDPA for a while. I found a deal on a S&W 66-1 from the original owner and he had never shot it much. I bead blasted it and sent it right off for the Full Carmonize treatment. I got it back yesterday and the first time I dry fired it I said "I don't know if this will light a primer or not". It does! I shot about 150 rounds in the action pit at the range today. The gun is really nice shooting. Never missed a beat and reloads dropped in like glass, even with a hot, dirty gun, something my 686 has always given me fits about. My 686 needed warranty work and sine S&W was paying shipping, I had the Action Job done at the factory. They did a pretty good job, or at least I though until I had the 66 done, it is much smoother in all aspects. I have a local match next Sunday and I am looking forward to showing it off and shooting a match with it. Thanks, Mike, for making a great gun even so much better.

Trebor Snave Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 mmm. Very nice. My 625 is heading out on Tuesday to be Carmonized. I'm looking forward to getting VERY familiar with it when it comes back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glockwerkes Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Welcome to the Carmonized Club. Mike does great work. I'm on number five and counting. All of them have been very reliable. Who made the speedloader holder in the pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmoney Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 You're very welcome, Frank. Although I shoot my N-frames more these days than anything else, there's just something magical about having a nice K-frame in the hand, isn't there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPDGG Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 LOOKS GREAT !!! Any close up shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfrank Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 No, I am not much or good at pictures. I have put 300 rounds through the gun at the range and about 90 rounds in a match. I had one misfire at the match but suspect in my attempt to go fast I didn't get off the trigger and the round (last one) fired when I cycled through it again. I did manage to get a -0 on that shot after cycling through the whole empty cylinder, while retreating from the target, to get to the live round and got a round of applause from my mostly polymer shooting squad.
