Any thoughts on the S&W 66 Combat Magnum?

Russian steel-cased 9mm vs American brass-cased .38 SPL. That's a real fair comparison.

How about comparing apples to apples:

Tula steel-cased 9mm $7.49 https://www.outdoorlimited.com/Produ...tCode=ta919150

Tula steel-cased .38 special $9.95 https://www.outdoorlimited.com/Produ...tCode=ta038158

.

Because I have never seen Tula 38 Special at a California Walmart. Have you?

The moral of the story is Reload

9mm is now 20 cents a round or under. 38 special hovers around 30 cents to 35 cents. It is a pretty big gap in price.

Roger that. All revolver calibers are outrageous. Two great reasons to reload for your revolver; One is the cost and two, you never loose the brass

Why do you limit ammo sellers to Walmart only?

I knew things were bad in California but I didn't know y'all could only buy ammo at Walmart. Is that the law or something? I avoid shopping at Walmart as much as possible.

Face it, you made a ridiculously unfair comparison to exaggerate the price difference between 9mm and .38 SPL. Everything except .22 LR is more expensive than 9mm.

I have 2-1/2", 3", and 4" Model 66s. Great revolver, and the 3" is my favorite (although the rarest of the three, of course).

It really is the iconic 38/357 S&W revolver. One of those guns that if you were going to own only one wheel gun, the M66 is an excellent choice.
