Hi Dave,

Based on your plans for it's use, you have no worries about your 19-3.

Too add one bit of information to the great information already shared above. S&W has used a shield in some models above the bar/cyl gap to avoid flame cutting. You could do that but likely not needed, again based on your conservative shooting plans for your 19-3.

I've shot my 19-1 as you propose and it's as tight as it was 50 years ago when I got it.
