Correct stocks for 19-4
Hello, meet the latest member of the family, a 19-4, SN 40K57xx. Target trigger, hammer, stocks. Red ramp, white outline. Seems from 1978-9. Are these target stocks correct/original? If not what would be?
Thanks.

They are not correct. The grips you have are for the 19-3 but not the 19-4. Here is what the correct grips look like:

19-4
NovaJoe,
My 19-4 has the same football targets your do, and they came on it new. So that style is correct.

Don - Joe said that his gun was from 78-79.
Speedloader grips did not exist then, so the football relief that he has is correct

No doubt that the correct grips for the OP are the "football" grips. My 19-5 is an early 80s gun that also came with "football" grips.

Don - I'm sure that there is no record of that to answer your question.
IMO, the Speedloader cutout started about 1981

I retract my statement. After I read VM's post, I went to the safe to double check and sure enough, my 19-5 has speed loader cutout grips. As a politician might say; "I must have misspoken".

Something's not right here. The 19-4 was only made from 1977 to 1981, and there are a ton of 19-4's with the speedloader cutout out there. I can't believe they were ALL made in the last year of production.

19-4
Just guessing, it maybe they had Magnas from the factory and were changed over to the targets. I see speed loader cutout targets sale for much less than the football (ejector) relief targets. No telling about grips unless their numbered to the gun, and not all were.

For what it's worth, my Md 19-4, circa 1980 came with "Football" targets.

Nice 19 you have there. Right or wrong stocks do not matter to me. I go for looks and comfort in a shooter. (wood) For a collector safe queen, that is a different thing. Enjoy your 19! Bob

Thanks for all of the good discussion.
Because my hands are not big enough to properly grip those target stocks, I will be putting more comfortable grips on it (prolly Hogue Monogrip rubber).
Because they could be original, I will keep them with the gun.

Hogue grips
Watch out for knock-offs, I bought a set of Hogue rubber finger groove grips of E-Bay that were nylon instead of rubber and they were hard as bricks. Got set later at a gun show that were correct
