Anyone know how many rounds of 125 grain .357 Magnum ammunition a Model 19/66 can fire before damage occurs? I keep trying to look it up and all find is 125 grain being the model 66 & 19's kryptonite. Anyway it's really pushing me towards the 586/686 series or the GP100...

I remember seeing a table that showed different variations of the Model 19/66, how many rounds had been fired, and which guns had experienced forcing cone cracks. Many of the guns saw thousands of rounds before cracking, and some still hadn't cracked after thousands of rounds. In all likelihood, it will never happen if you shoot 125 grain rounds. I've also read that the Model 66 is especially resilient to this Achilles heel, as the quality of their stainless steel is higher than that of the blued carbon steel guns. It's not hard to find 158 grain loads either, or to shoot just .38 Special through the gun either.
I understand the paranoia though, and I'd just as easily vouch for a 586/686 too, as long as they aren't recent production. If you're relegated to recent production guns, the GP100 is probably the way to go.

I'm turning 21 in a few days, and I was going to buy a gun of some sort, but now I don't have the funds. Y'all help me decide what to get when I do have the money
Charter Arms Bulldog .44 Special S&W Shield 9mm Another S&W 3rd gen (probably .40 this time, but .45 if I can find it) Mossberg Maverick 88 (I needs a shotgun, since the Winchester 1300 got traded off) S&W 638 Zastava M70A The Zastava Sig-looking pistol that has a different name every time I see one Last edited by S&Wshooter; 07-02-2014 at 04:28 PM.

If I get no answers, I'm going to buy another 4506 or a 4566, so I can do stupid shit to it that I wouldn't do if I only had one. Such as getting a different finish, having forward cocking serrations added, etc

I would ask what do you plan to do with the gun? A range shooting gun or SHTF gun or a CCW gun?
If you plan to conceal it, get one that you can hide well. Are you comfortable with the striker fire type trigger or a DA/SA trigger of the 4506 or 4566? If you want to go with a revolver or the DA/SA trigger guns, can you run it well when shit hits the fan? Are you a guy with a thumb safety mentality or no safety mentality since they just came out with a Shield that has no thumb safety. All these factors goes into what you plan to use this gun. And of course above all, get practice and training for it, regardless of your purpose.

Was talking to parents about my idea with getting a 4566 and having some things done to it, and they basically said "we're doing that when we're done with [lawsuit thing involving family business)", so I'm just sitting here all
 because I didn't expect it and it feels like alot to get from them
