Introduced in 1971, the Model 66 is essentially a stainless steel version of the Smith & Wesson Model 19 revolver. A peace officer's dream back in the days, these revolvers are well built and since it is designed to fire the .357 Magnum round, they will also take the less powerful .38 special cartridge. These revolvers were the standard sidearm for law enforcement throughout the United States and the Tanaka S&W M66 4inch Ver.3 Model Gun is a faithful replica of this pistol.
Tanaka has truly crafted a gem that, at first glance, looks as if it is a metal gun. However, this detailed finish can easily deceive even the keen-eyed among us, as the revolver is made of high-quality ABS plastic. Do not be fooled, though plastic, nothing about his M66 can be considered "cheap" as it carries a fair amount of weight and when paired with an assortment of metal parts, it certainly feels as if it's a metal gun. Metal parts such as the trigger and cylinder give the pistol a real-life-like aesthetic making it not only a great choice for collectors but it can even be used in film or cosplay as a prop!
The operation of this model gun is a joy as the double action is smooth and direct, pulling the trigger slowly feels buttery with no "grit" feeling at all. The trigger breaks nicely and its reset is crisp and very positive, leading to the sound of the cylinder rotating readying the pistol for the next shot. This exemplifies the effort Tanaka put in to make this revolver stand out.
Please note that this is a non-firing model gun.
