did I over pay for my 19-4

[holo]

picked this up today from a Ohio prison officer he just retired carried lot and shot a little. there is a little bluing loss on the muzzle.The grips are still very nice and I got a Roy's leather holster with it paid $320.00 p.s. there are no engraving marks on it from being issued. I am a happy camper

my bad thought it was a -3 but its a -4

No...320 was fine....and if dash three it is older than 1980!
Have fun with it!

You did very well! I paid about $200 *more* for mine a little more than a year ago. Yours doesn't even seem to have a turn line.

Admit it, you ain't really askin', You're BRAGGIN!!

Are you serious? You can barely buy ammo for that much now a days.
If it's a 19-3, you need a set of grips without the large cutout to make it original. She looks to be in great shape. Congradulations.

My first S&W was a 19-3 with a target trigger and hammer that I bought new in 1974 from Lock's Philadelphia Gun Exchange. I had one on order for six months at a local gun shop but finally had to drive from Harrisburg to Phithydephia to find one.

How do you sleep at night. Great find, done real good

 

[rwsmith]

You should be

You should be a happy camper at that price. Good deal. I got $300 for an old model 10 snub before tshtf and you get this and a holster for $20 more. It's just not fair.

well sold the holster today for$30.00 so I guess I paid $290.00 now i feel better

 

[remat457]

That would go for $400-$500 here in the Pacific Northwest easy.

 

[dcopper]

Nice find, and an excellent price! YOU DUN GUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Pa.Bill]

I have the same but in 6" barrel. 1975 I paid $208.
I saw it used, at a gun show last year for $550.
I think- you did fine.
Its a great all around gun. Take it to the range, bench it @50-75yards.

 

[ma deuce]

Very nice deal. I paid $495 a few months ago for a 4" 19-4 in similar condition, but w/all options, and still think I got a bargain.

 

[rogerwnuss]

around these parts, you cant touch a four inch 19/66 for under 500, more if it's in fine shape, and a snubby....forget it.....
you did kiss the guy, right? common courtesy....

[had3nuf]

You made an excellent deal on that gun, I have a 19-3 that I paid $500 for 2 years ago.

 

[Poohgyrr]

You will need the money you saved - to spend on speedloaders and ammo...
