How I got a Smith & Wesson Model 66 Combat Magnum

Different Smith & Wesson Revolver Frame Sizes

• J-Frame; small 5-shot pocket gun
• K-Frame; Med size frame designed for the .38 Special but a M66 is the old combat magnum in .357 Magnum
• L-Frame; Mid size frame designed for the .357 Mag. Little bigger to take the higher pressures of the .357
• N-Frame; Large size frame designed for the .44 mag, .41, and others. Think Dirty Harry .44 M29
• X-Frame; XLG Frame designed to be a 5 shot with the ultra magnum rounds like .500 Magnum or .460 S&W
