Earlier today we received notice of a new revolver coming from Taurus. This new revolver is known as the 66 Combat. It is a stainless steel, medium frame, 7-shot, 357 Magnum. It features a trench style rear sight and a HIVIZ green fiber optic front post a top a full underlug barrel. Hogue supplies rubber grips.
Notable design features include the unfluted cylinder, and a factory bobbed hammer. The 3-inch barrel keeps the 66 Combat relatively compact without impeding shootability. Advertised at 36.5 oz, this revolver should be able to handle full power Magnum loads without issue.
We have gotten most of these details through a listing on Midway USA which has gone live a little early.
List price on Midway is currently $972.99, with a street price of $769.99. We look forward to getting our hands on one to bring you more information in the future!
Here are some more details from the product description on Midway USA.
The Taurus 66 Combat Revolver is a versatile modern revolver great for concealed carry or even hunting. The low profile hammer keeps from snagging and the hogue grips make for a comfortable, ergonomic grip.
