ok,  one more question,  what if i get one with a 12" barrel?  but also get a 6" barrel,   i found one for really cheap with a 12" barrel,  but would like to have it with a 6".  there's no way i can find a better deal, but i was just wondering...  how hard it it to switch up the barrels?  would it void the warrenty?

Go with the 12 if you just gona hunt with it... a 6in is required for hunting.... I hunted with my fathers 357 colt trooper model and it was awsome for the deep dark dank woods... a pleasure to hunt with! 6 in is a good all pourpose  length... And the pistol can be used in firearm restricted areas!  :IBCOOL:

What?  You think the barrels are interchangable on a Taurus 66?

Barrel length is 3,4 or 6".    11 3/4" is the total length of the gun.

OK.. I see where they list the 66S as a Silhouette gun with a 12" barrel.

As a medium frame gun in .357mag. STUPID....  You can't even load it hot enough for Silhouette.

And no.. the 66 would require a gun smith to interchange the barrel.  It's not a Dan Wesson!

Get the 6"!  Better yet, Get a Ruger GP100 with 6" barrel. Or a Ruger BlackHawk in 357mag with 6" barrel.
