So there I was.. all alone at the Gun Show.. No Diamonback68 to hold me back... No Joe to remind me it's NOT an "N" Frame!!"..

AND A LITTLE VOICE SAID..... GO AHEAD ONE WON'T HURT!!

I found the Model 19-3 on one table and a set of "K" Frame Combats on the next table still in the original package.. and the prices were such I still have a pain in my elbow reaching for my wallet!!

It was Fate I Tell Ya!! FATE.. ..
I had forgotten how nice the Snubbie 19 felt in your hand..

But fear not.... even as we speak I am back in the
" N FRAME : 27 Game!!

Very nice Sal. I was there for about an hour this morning. They changed it up a little. I was disappointed the "antique guy" was not there. I sold the lemon squeezer to your friend in the west corner (where you got the nickel 5" 27), with full disclosure of the rebound spring and firing pin problem. He was happy to get it at a good price, had a gunsmith in mind to fix it and I doubled my money. Lots of old S&W revolvers from high to stratospheric, but at least it was different vendors. See ya in Lakeland in 3 weeks. Joe

Appears there's no saving you now, you're getting deeper into the K-frames and after that all's hopeless and you my not ever make it back to N-frame land.

Looks like you done it again.

How come is it that some fellers can go walkin' out in the bull pasture and come back with roses, and all I git is stuff on my boots?

Well i have always been an N Frame 44 Mag, 45 ACP S&W revolver kind of guy...

BUT there is something about a 2 1/2" S&W Mod 19.
I bought one strictly for snubnosed matches. I think I did get lucky as mine shoots as good to 25 yards as any custom PPC revolver I have ever shot.

It shoots magnums good to, I even carried it at work on some plainsclothes assignments [I carried a 1911 at the same time as well, but i prefer a revolver in "grappling" situations].

I actually bought it before I was LEO, and I used to shoot rabbits with it to feed the cats at the stable a friend kept his horse at.
We would go out there every evening after work to feed the horse.

I still have ringing in my left ear, from when I fired a S&W factory 110gr 357 Mag at a rabbit...

The cats would walk along side us while we hunted rabbits for them.
