The model 66-8 is indeed the newly introduced version with two-piece barrel and shroud. This system places the steel "tube" barrel under tension from both ends and eliminates stresses on the forcing cone that are common with traditional barrels torqued to the frame. Advantages to the new system is greater accuracy, and less potential for the forcing cone to fail by cracking. The "K" designation refers to the frame size, and this a K-frame size handgun, which is a bit smaller than the L-frame which was purpose-built for the .357 magnum.
I currently own the M69 .44 magnum which uses the same, two-piece barrel system and it has been problem free. -
