Would somebody please pull out their calipers and measure? I am looking for definitive proof of Taurus 65 and 66 frame size compared with S&W.
Why? Just b/c some folks say "Oh, they are both K-frame, trust me!" While other folks say, "The 65 is a K but the 66 is an L, trust me!" Well, let's take a moment and actually measure.
The below S&W dimensions were excerpted from: http://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/Smith%20&%20Wesson%20J,%20K,%20L%20and%20N-frame%20Comparisons.htm
Frame Thickness at Thumb Latch (inch):
S&W J: 0.544
S&W K: 0.656
S&W L: 0.658
S&W N: 0.664
Taurus 65: ? (6rd)
Taurus 66: ? (7rd)
Cylinder Diameter (inch):
S&W J: 1.306
S&W K: 1.446
S&W L: 1.559
S&W N: 1.710
Taurus 65: ? (6rd)
Taurus 66: ? (7rd)
