I traded my 19-3, 2-1/2" about 3 months ago for a model 66-3, 4" and have regretted it ever since.
Came across this 19-4, 2-1/2"today and just couldn't say no. I guess the gun monster got found his "Get Out of Jail Free" card today.

Ser# 82K784x, Pinned and recessed and absolutly perfect stocks.
Only 6 rounds ever fired thru it. I got the holster with it too. The muzzle doesn't have any bluing worn off.
It's almost perfect!

I feel like I've been redeemed or something.

Can't wait to get it on the range. I'm so Happy!!!

beautiful mod 19.i have a snubby 66-3 that i love

That's a beauty. I have the same gun, with a bit more wear, and it is one of my favorite shooters (with Pachmayr Compac grips).

Nice find.

Nice job in picking this one up; looks great! I'm curious, what are your impressions of the -4, compared to your old -3...?

I passed on a nice 2 1/2" 19-3 about a month ago, and I've been regretting it ever since... I'm glad that your angst has cleared!

This -4 is like new. I wish I had the -3 to actually match them up to each other.
Everything pretty much feels the same. My first impression is that the cylinder gap is smaller on the -4, and the notch cut into the barrel for the cylinder mating seems to be slightly smaller than on the -3.
I may be wrong on that but it's a distinct impression.

Yes, I really like the -4 and would buy another in a heartbeat if I get a chance like this again.

I was so excited about finding this one I called my pastor and he said it sounded like "I had just been redeemed", and yes he intended the pun.

Just shows that there are still some very nice ones out there.

Congrats

very nice 19 you have. great gun I love mine
