There is all kinds of right about this gun. They beefed it up from the previous models, last sold in 2005, while keeping the k frame configuration.
I don't think this new 66 is going to have problems like the old ones which were getting stretched and cracked due to heavy .357 magnum use.
Its still the k frame but built like a little tank.
They may have just made the larger L frame, 686 line obsolete. They just may have.
Basically you get a handier gun, that is actually concealable (practically speaking), that feels more balanced in your hand and shoots great 1 handed or 2 handed. There is nothing to lose with this gun, except 1 bullet, if you have a 686P and for what it is, that is well worth the tradeoff.
They really did a .357 magnum right in this gun
