FNG Requesting 619 Production Year

[luckyM13]

Hello, new guy here. I just won a 619 on Broker, I totally missed the boat on these L-Frame, 7-shot underlugless service beauties. I cherish a delightful 78' M13-1 that I'm increasingly more afraid of shooting full power loads in as the years pass. I suppose I now have something that will. This is my first 2pc barrel, I've heard rumors of separations by OK State Police or something... Just curious to year of manufacture because I've had luck with later production stuff rumored to have issues, like I owned the last year production S&W PPK and had flawless function. Just hoping for late production where all the kinks were worked out. Serial number pictured below. I was surprised that there wasn't a searchable database for late model production like L-Frames. Thanks in advance

They only produced the 619 for two years - 2005 & 2006 - discontinued in 2007. Your specific prefix isn't listed but looking at those that are and the limited number of years produced, most likely 2006.

My 619...

My serial prefix is "CHY"

Adios,

Nice! Thanks for that. Tell me about that gorgeous piece, you like it compared to other Smiths? Would you opine that I have nothing to worry concerning the 2pc barrels? Is it accurate?
