Those 19's are nice.

Thanks for your replies and info on DOM. While at the store, they sold a nice M686 for about $350. They also have a late model 649 in 357 mag for about $325 that looks great. I'm trying to find some cash for that one, too. They told me that they have trouble selling revolvers, most everyone asks for autoloaders.

You got a very good deal on a classic .357 snubby - one of the finest ever made. Congratulations!

Great gun and price. I paid $325 OTD for an unfired one in 1998, on my 30th birthday. It wears ivory grips now, and has become one of my favorite carry revolvers. In fact, I named it "Number 30", hence my screen name here. Today's my 40th birthday. You might have just inspired me to go shopping.

I never get deals like that. Mine like that cost me well over five bills.

And I thought this 686 I got last month for $320 out the door was a good deal. More finish wear and no box like your little 19, but I guess I won't complain. I have a 2.5" 66 also and love it, and i'm sure you'll love your 19. Everyone should have one. I only paid $219 for my 66 but i've had it 10 years too.



later,
AJ

TWalker,would you consider revealing the name and address of the pawn shop? I go to VA. Beach every now and then and would like to check it out. Those prices are a lot better then in the Wash. D. C. area. Thanks, Waldo

That's a beautiful gun. A blued 2.5" M19 P&R is one of my "grail guns." To find one at the price you paid makes for a good day I'm thinking.

No problem, and I hope you find some nice revolvers. Princess Anne Pawnshop between Independence and Lynnhaven on Princess Anne Parkway. Also try the Armory, 3 miles away on Indian River Road.

Lucky dog!

I've been in there half-a-dozen times in the last year... nuthin' but bottom-feeders. Heck of a deal on the M19.

Great price. I bought a model 66-1 for 450 and was thrilled to get it. I would buy two or three at your price. The 2 1/2 barrel K frame is one of my favorites.
