I picked up this six-inch Model 19-3 last week at my LGS. I've got $425.00 into it. It didn't even make to the display case. Bob brought it out from the "back room" when he saw me come in and knew I would take it. I made the $425.00 offer and he accepted it. I did the paper work and ran out the door Serial number puts it at 1976. It has some wear and dings and the stocks were "lightly modified" by the previous owner but it locks up tight and timing is spot on. Here's a couple of pics.

I can't pass up a deal on a 19!!!

Fine price if it's mechanically sound. The grip modification looks pretty good, actually, and you're cleared for speed loaders.

Congrats and enjoy.

Gotta love it when a 19, and deal both come into play! Bob
