So I picked the 19-5 up last evening and I am very happy with it. The first thing I did was remove the trigger shoe.

There is a little blueing wear around the muzzle, a few lights nicks on the left side of the barrel (like it rubbed on a snap or a buckle while being carried) and a few darker areas on the top rib - not rust but the metal is darkened there. The cylinder is nice and tight.

I think scooter nailed it with his description of the action.... It has definately been worked on. Compared to my 15-3 it's very crisp in single action and smooth in double action (I always thought my 15-3 had a nice trigger but the one on this 19-5 is exceedingly nice).

Here is a low res iPhone photo. I'll work on getting some better ones.
