The Smith and Wesson combat magnum is a classic trusted by many for self defense and law enforcement duty over the decades. The Model 66 has been a popular and reliable choice for many years, although it is more frequently featured on wheelgun Wednesday posts than actually carried these days. But the 357 magnum K frame revolver is still a formidable firearm for concealed carry, home defense, every day carry. Are the days of the revolver long gone? Or would you consider carrying a snubnose or snubbie like this No Dash stainless steel magnum from S&W? Many consider the Model 66 and Model 19 to be the best revolvers ever made for carry and self defense. But has it been completely outpaced by modern semi-autos like Glock, Sig, M&P, Walther PDP, CZ, Staccato, etc? What do you think? Let me know in the comments!
For my YouTube manual reviewer: I am a certified instructor and range safety officer. This was safely filmed at a private range. This is an unmodified semi-automatic pistol in its factory configuration handled by a professional. For the love of god I'm following your rules. There is no content in here that disqualifies the video as being safe for all advertisers and you know it.
