Woo-Hooo!!! My Model 66 12" Silhouette arrived
NOTE: Instead of starting a new thread, I changed title to reflect I picked up my Taurus 66 on 2/14/13. The first 5 posting reflect when I was waiting for it to arrive.
I feel like a young kid twitching on Christmas Eve, having to wait for Christmas morning gift openings...only to be just informed we aren't opening presents until later in the afternoon when the extended family arrives!!!
Per UPS it should be at my local FFL by end of day tomorrow.
Its a used Blue Model 66 with that long 12" barrel, comes with a Simmons handgun scope and one huge-azz holster.
Is it a useful, practical purchase? Probably not...actually no way...but I just wanted one bad. I doubt I'd be able to CCW in Illinois anyways, if/when the new law passes...it will go nearly to my knee when holstered. So my friends and I joking refer to it as a "sawed-off" Mare's Leg/Ranch Hand.
Will post pix when I have it in hand. And a range report when I get a chance to use it.
