Thanks for posting this very informative article. That solved a mystery for me. I've been hearing about how the flat weakened the forcing cone to the point of failure on model 19s and yet when I look at my old 19-3 that flat is tiny. Hardly any steel was removed.You have to look closely to see it. Then I saw the picture where half the steel was cut away and the whole thing makes sense to me now.
Edit: threads are always more fun with pictures
