has anyone seen or heard of this revolver? I am not sure I have ever seen one and if I did I don;t remember it. Is there a pic of one?

Maybe Smithnut can help you out here, I believe he has a photo of this. As I recall there are actually three different barrel thicknesses.

Not real sure I can....
As for standard production 2 1/2", 4" and 6" M19's, I'm not aware of any real variations in barrel profiles, however, there are other unique configurations related to special orders and/or PC production 3" models. You will see different shapes and profiles in the 3" guns.
There is a fixed sight variation that was produced for export to France, this is a 3 inch gun.
Also, the K-Comps and other PC versions have their unique profiles.
And lastly, the Model 19P made for export to Peru, had a fixed sight frame, and both 2 1/2" and 4" barrels, but not sure the barrel profile was all that different from standard versions (except for the front sight base).
Here are a few pics of what I can provide:

Early M19 with 3" barrel, while obviously special order, I believe this to be standard "weight" :


Performance Center K-Comp:


Another PC variation with 3" barrel:


Early - Pre Model numbered Combat Magnum:


Model 19P 4":
Note - this is without a sight ramp "base", but I believe the barrel profile is the same as a standard 4" M19:


Model 19P 2 1/2":


Hopefully this helps....

It's good to see you back "in the saddle", Smithnut. And...congrats on Plenipotentiary status. Nice 19's. -S2

I don't know too much ,but the one KT 38 frame gun that was made with a 'Bull'barrel was the
14-2 Hanen special for Dayton police supply. If you didn't read the caliber address on the side of the barrel
it might be mistaken for a model 19 with a heavy barrel.

Although ,now ,thinking about it , a model 19 with a 3" model 13 barrel installed, with a grooved ramp on top like the 14-2 would be interesting ....



The 14-2 heavy barrel , shot this the other day.

I appreciate all the help so far. I am supposed to get pics of the revolver tomorrow. Hopefully we can figure out what it is.
Take care

Smithnut! Good to see you back. Congrats on Plenipotentiary status. Can someone explain what that is? Thanks!

SmithNut:

Welcome back! Seeing you in print again is the best Christmas present I could have gotten! I am so glad to see you back. Thank you for the excellent information and photos!

OK, it was a Model 10 with heavy brl. I am not completely crazy.
Thanks

OK, no problem. What was the dash number then?
A M10-4 would be a standard/tapered/pencil barrel engineering change, and the rarest of them all except for the M10-13... Really!

10-8. When I say rough--that was an understatement. To be honest, if it were in .357mag I might have tried to rescue it and turned it into a decent pack gun (well, for OK anyways).
