Of course this was a model 19, back in the mid 1970s. Each gun can be different in how they show pressure. I did not know enough to measure cylinder throats or groove diameter back then either.

Yes, the 19s are nice guns but the K frame just can't handle these max loads. Even back in my LE days we were told not to shoot too many 357 factory loads in the 19.. Eventually they had to go back to the armorer for repair.
The L frame is much stronger, and of coarse the N frames were beasts..
