I also really love the model 19. Now that you have it, and it's a shooter, take that baby out and shoot anything you like. That's the one nice thing about having a hawgleg that's worn. You don't have to treat it like fine crystal.

It looks like it has huge holster wear from the end of the barrel and the end of the cylinder. I would have to think it was a "duty carry" during its lifetime. That normally means really rough outside, but can be squeaky clean inside.
