The ultimate Model 19/66 Combat Magnum thread

One for the database

Im not sure if I gave you the info on this 19-2, serial K711,285 ,
Guessing mid 1966 so your search for a 1967 continues ...(sorry).

Most notable are its yellow front site insert, wide TT/TH and the proud front site pins.

I unfortunately can not attest to the originality of the yellow FS insert but here is a picture of it
with a 27-2 (top) from 1966 (same year) with the same yellow insert and proud front site pins.

Have you noticed the pin protrudes through the front of the ejector shroud more on the pre models?
Both "Pre"27 and "Pre"19 (shown at bottom) have much more "protrusion" than their dash 2 counterparts.

I don't care for rubber grips, but till my grip adapter comes, these are good enough.
I can't say enough good things about a 4" model 19 in blue.

JCS&W,

That is the first Pinto shorty 19 I have ever seen. I didn't know they made them in that model. I don't know how rare that is, but it seems pretty rare to me!!!

6 in barrel, the last model change before S&W de-improved the design.
Pictured with beater grips, I have a fresh pair but keep them for dress up.

Well I have watched this thread long enough, so I will post my two here.
19-5 from 1987, I purchased in 2010

19-2 from 1965 I purchased earlier this year

Neither are as nice as the wonderful other examples found throughout this thread, but they are nice shooters to spend quality time with. Thank you all for the inspiration to find them.
 
Since I have now seen pics of a factory 3" 19...

Did they ever make a nickel 3" 19??? Or a pinto???
