I bought a model 19 , 6" barrel a couple of years ago . Mine had seen very little use , light turn ring on cylinder . It was wearing the original K frame target grips from S&W . At the time I thought I pd top price , $575 . It has become one of my favorite target shooting guns . Over the years I've had numerous K frame 357's in 4" barrel , model 19"s , 13's , 66 etc . Sooner or later someone would want it more than I did so I sold it . The 6" though will be a keeper .
