Hey thats only the best gun in the world!
I would trust my life to one of those any day! Feed it well and it will always make that loud noise when you need it to. |

That is a fine gun. If you can't hit the bad guy with it, don't worry the bang will scare them off.

Pictures!!!!
What did you pay for it? How's the action? I have one and I'm pretty sure it's been worked over because it's lite and very smooth. It's my favorite revolver. Now that you got me thinking about it, I have to go get it out of the safe and fondle for awhile. For the price I paid for mine, I practically stole it. $125. |

No pics. I don't hav eit in hand yet cuz i have to register it and get the stupid MI purchase permit. Maybe tomorrow.
I saw a couple that were cut down 2" barrels (on a .357??!!) over the past few months but finally found one with a 6" barrel. happy i found it. paid $285 for it. ...now how the heck did you get away with $125? Did your seller have any more of those?? Action was very smooth. not worn, not heavy, but smooth. |

Pic of mine
[img]http://www.patriotarms.com/sw_19.jpg[/img] Quoted: ...now how the heck did you get away with $125? Did your seller have any more of those?? I actually got mine when I lived in Michigan. It was a private sale but I still had to get the permit and register it because of Michigan's stupid laws. The guy had three guns for sale, I offered to buy all of them from him if he dropped the price. For $650 I ended up with the follow: Glock 21C with night sites and a Fobus holster S&W Model 19-4 in .357 Colt Tropper in .357 That comes out to $350 for the Glock and $125 each for the revolvers. I think I did pretty good. |

I used to have one,4"bbl one of the most accurate handguns I'd ever owned, One thing I should tell you, don't feed it a steady diet of .357's the frame won't take it, I know, I shot mine loose doing that, Had endshake/slight timing problem as a result of a steady diet of my handloads, found a 'smith that knew his shit about S&W's and he even told me to cool it with the.357's it was designed to be shot with .38's for practice, and .357 for occasional use, not all the time,I took his advice, and never had another problem with it, k-frames aren't bad, they just have their limits,just like any other firearm..

The S&W Mdl. 19 is an excellent handgun.
I have it's SS cousin, the Mdl 66 2 1/2", bobbed hammer, DAO and it's very accurate, quick handling, and LOUD (especially with the best rated one shot stopper of all defensive handgun rounds the R-P 125 gr SJHP.) The advice to avoid prolonged firing with full-house loads is sound. K frames can not take that kind of beating, which led to the development of the L frame. |

Copy that. I planned on shooting .38s pretty much only anyway, just wanted the 357 for occasional use. |
