This one languished in a local shop because it was boxless and wearing Goodyears. Brought it home for #325. Has slight holster wear and a couple of small spots of corrosion from the grips, but there is no flame-cutting of the top strap, lockup is tight and timing is excellent. Someone shot alot of light loads through this one. The Ahrends grips are temporary. Maybe stag?

That would be a fun one to send back to S&W for a bead blasted finish, a full trigger job and some custom grips!

I like it as is!! Has alot of character and I am an Ahrends fan. If you sell your's please give me first chance. Also carry and shoot everything I have. Would hate to screw up a pair of $150.00 stag grips, though I love their looks.
Congrats!

I scored a 19-5 2.5" on Gunbroker last week for $400. I swapped out the Houges that were on it for the original grips and a Tyler t adapter. I'm gonna hang onto this one, I swear I've traded off or sold at least 3 of these guns over the past 15 years....and the prices just keeps climbin'.

Mike, the last time I was traveling through the state of Denial, I didn't see any 2.5 or 3 inch
K magnums' for sale anywhere. I thimk you did well, and should buy any more you find at that price  .
I have more than one of these, and it would take an N frame for me to consider letting any go.
Good luck ,,,Al
