Very nice looking revolver, but must not be tempted.

They also released a 3" Model 19 Carry Comp. The classic looks to be a round butt, the frame is only exposed about an inch down the grip.

I hope they do something different
4" round butt
3.25" round butt
Just do something DIFFERENT.

I would guess the 4.25" is a square
However the newly re-introduced Performance Center 3" Model 19 is a round butt

Because I like blued revolvers way better than shiny ones?

The grip frame of the 4.25" is only visible to about the top of the medallions, from there down the grips cover the entire frame. It would make sense for it to be a round butt because of this.

It is a round butt UncleEd, and they also released a 3" PC model. I agree completely though, always more whining than appreciation we got anything we wanted.

I for one love it.
My M29-10 Classic is a square butt, so it wouldn't surprise me if the M19 was SB as well.
That said, this is a reissue of one of the most common revolvers ever made. Surely they could have done something interesting like a 2", 2.5", 3", or 5" barrel.
With the current craze for 3" guns, it is incomprehensible that they would "introduce" a gun and not offer a 3" barrel. Yes, I saw the 3" PC M19, but that is a staggeringly hideous gun.

Makes me wonder who their target demographic is for these. Many my age won't own one with a lock, and many, if not most, younger folks seem to prefer semi-autos. With the REAL "classics" still fairly abundant, where do these fit in? Personally, I don't need any brand new S&W's, but I believe having them remain in business certainly enhances our hobby, and I'm sure they've done their market research, but it would be fun to know exactly what they're thinking sometimes. Good shootin',

Not everybody likes stainless and really admire polished blued steel and wood, which looks far better than some cheap bead blasted silver finish.
Not everybody likes what you like.
