Why is there a weight difference between the Taurus model 66 and the tracker. Both are 357 with 4 inch barrels. The difference is listed as 10oz. The tracker being the lighter of the two. They both seem to be the same, minus the porting at the end of the barrel.

James G. · Answer

The model 66 has much more metal in the "Grip Frame" than the Tracker and is 10.5 inches long compared to the 8.9 inches of the Tracker (It;s slightly bigger).

Randy I. · Answer

The tracker is a compact frame http://www.taurususa.com/product-details.cfm?id=265&category=Revolver&toggle=tr&breadcrumbseries=627
the 66 is a medium frame http://www.taurususa.com/product-details.cfm?id=278&category=Revolver&toggle=tr&breadcrumbseries=M66
comparing the specs you can see that the width and height of the frame is different

Jason T. · Answer

They have the same barrel length, but that's it. One is bigger in OAL and thickness.
