It was the superb finish and pinned front sight on my 4inch 19-2 that decided me on trying to obtain a sample of each 19-2 barrel length in both blue and nickle. Does not hurt that many of these were made about the same time I was. Oh yeah, plus diamond targets on the 4inch and 6inch. Everything I love about S&W revolvers of that era.
