About 18 years back, I owned a Taurus 669. It was a blued 6-shot .357, adjustable sights, with 6-inch barrel and full underlug, and looked a heck of a lot like a S&W mid-frame. Trigger was somewhat rough out of the box, but a couple of thousand rounds took care of that. :-)

I loved that old revolver, but I sold it several years ago in what I have to assume was a fit of temporary insanity. I've looked at the Taurus website, and they don't seem to carry this gun anymore. The closest they have now is the model 66B, a seven-shooter.

Anyone remember this revolver and why it was phased out? Would the 66B give a similar experience?
