I've got a Mod 19 that I carried as a duty weapon in the 1970s and I have been thinking about selling it. It has slight holster wear but otherwise its a fine weapon. After reading all these comments maybe I won't sell it after all. My wife bought me this gun shortly after I joined the PD in 1971. I can't remember what she payed for it but I'm shocked at even the low end prices you're talking about. I guess I'm just getting old.
