We check out the new 7-shot .357 Magnum Taurus 66 Combat revolver.
Concealed carry revolvers don’t have to be tiny snub-nose .38 Specials. Case in point, Taurus’ newly announced Taurus 66 Combat, a medium-framed .357 Magnum with a 7-shot cylinder.
The Taurus 66 Combat features a 3-inch barrel, the ideal length to balance ballistic performance with concealability, and it’s built to handle .357 Magnum +P loads. As for sights, the wheelgun sports a high-visibility fiber optic front sight and a squared off rear sight channel for a crisp, fast sight picture. It’s optics-ready too, as the addition of a T.O.R.O. optics plate will allow you to mount any red dot with a Shield RMSc footprint. The optics plate is sold separately, however.
The revolver has a bobbed hammer for a snag-free draw, but that also means that it’s double-action-only. However, Taurus says the trigger is “combat tuned” and should provide a very smooth pull. Other features include a full-length ejector rod for fast reloads, a matte stainless finish and Hogue rubber grips.
The 66 Combat has an MSRP of $973 and it’s available now.
