The 65 is a fixed sight comparable to an S&W Model 10 in size and features. The 66 has adjustable sights and can be found in 7 round capacity. Both come in Stainless or black finish. I think either will suit you as long as you follow the basic revolver check out for cylinder play and lock up.

A rough calculation, using these serial numbers, indicates that your revolver mas made about April, 1985. Recessed chambers were eliminated in June, 1985, from serial number 68480. Up to SN 84978, there's both recessed and non-recessed cylinders. Your knowledge of Taurus maker's dates is excellent.
The 65 is similar in size so the following info should be useful. The Allen CORTEZ nylon hip holster size 02 (p/n 44802) made for 3"-4" med & lg frame D/A revolvers. Pros: reasonably priced (<$10), covers trigger guard completely, positive nylon security strap, heavy duty nylon construction.

I know the 66 is a 7-rounder as opposed to the 65 having 6...the extra round isn't a deal breaker or maker for me. The only consideration here is the sights.

That I'm sure creates a better market response to the sale of the product, especially since the interest in revolvers has tapered off some over the last 10 - 15 years.
Problem with model 65 revolver. I bought used about 6 months ago. I bought from a reputable gun dealer. I have only shot .38's or 38 +P. Probably have shot 200 rounds or so. . Ever since I have had the 65, the cylinder will occasionally not rotate and I cannot pull the trigger back to fire. I then open the cylinder and close again and can ...
Using 38 Special ammo, even in +P loading; is much better IMHO. You will have a far faster "Return to Battery", and far less recoil and muzzle blast. Only you can decide which load to use. While I don't have a Taurus® Mdl 65, I do have a 669SS4CP, 617SS2, 605SS3, and a 605SS2.
The 65 is a older than 25 years old and still giving great service. It's in nickel and the 2.5 inch model. It has one of the slickest and a light trigger pull to boot. Though mostly .38 Specials are shot through it. The 65 does see a good diet of .357 magnum rounds go through it in a years time.
