I was looking around to see if Smith and Wesson still made the M19, so I went to their website and found this towards the bottom of the page. Without the light and Aimpoint it looks like a pretty sweet revolver, but what type of shooter would configure a wheelgun like this? Perhaps a serious competitive shooter who competes in low light matches?

Probably made in anticipation of the RE-remake of Escape From NY.

maybe a special run for a mil or contrator.
they have a need they throw down a ton of money. the deal falls thru and the funky revolvers hit the street. S&W has some good ideas. that's why i like them over Ruger. |

I like it. What is that, an eight shooter?
I don't understand why hanging all kinds of crap off of a semiauto ain't ridiculous, but it is on a revolver. I personally don't even own a pistol with a light rail, but Smith wheelguns can do no wrong in my mind. They are ALL awesome. |

Smith must have missed the memo that the revolver for police use died about 25 years ago.
ETA: How in the hell would you hold that thing and be able to engage the light switch???

This abomination was displayed at the SHOT show. Its a really good example of what happens when people start answering questions that were not asked.

French GIGN has ended several hostage incidents using scoped, long barreled .357 Manhurin revolvers with a bipod(!) You can insert French jokes if you please, but GIGN is NOT a bunch you want to fcuk with!
It would not be MY choice of weapon, but it IS a capable piece of ordnance. |

If they could mount the flashlight under the underlug and rig a tape switch to allow ease of activation it might not be a terrible idea.
I'm not sure what the handgun would be used for though. It seems too big for a holster; maybe lasergrips and the light are a better idea. A couple of speed loaders and some practice and I don't see why not to use a revolver. They are super accurate on single action when that is needed. |

They forgot the Crimson trace grip laser.

Clearing a dud is just a trigger pull away.
And it's a .357 Magnum, don't see why a tactical revolver isn't a contender. |

Round these parts, it's 100% about style points. |
