So it's a year after Smith got rid of the recessed chambers and "pinned" barrel.
While the recessed feature is cool and does bring a bit of a premium, I know of fellas who prefer the 19-5 for competitions and speed loadings because the recesses had a habit of picking bits of grit, making full seating of the cartridges problematic.
Ya did good on the price.
