Yes, they did make them at one time , Ive heard 100-120, also many put together with leftover barrels as Ive seen several model 19's with the underlug barrel from this model. Man they are shooters....Always amazed that they are not spoken about much, in regards to the collectors, or value. I would suspect most located in the southeast and west coast due to use in police combat service matches.
Im sure L Frames shoot as well, but much easier, to be able to use .same k frame , holster, loaders, loading block etc.
The first ones awarded as prizes, came with target hammers, and a trigger stop, the trigger stop, was not allowed in competition . so most models with that had at least that removed. Many removed the big target hammer, as all shooting was done in double action.
Second photo, top 14-6 in original configuration , other has hammer and trigger changed. Consecutive serial # BNW----
