Finally got a nice SW M-19 2 1/2 bbl

[usmcsgt]

I've been looking for a while and finally got a nice one in chrome finish, looks like it had only been test fired and not carried. It's a 1975 serial number. It does have one odd mark on the cylinder ejector face- looks like an "N". Any ideas? I have some that are numbered cylinders- 1 is the most accurate cylinder ect.

Thanks

Jeff

The "N" denotes Nickel, as it is nickel plated.

Nice. And it has the "ε" ampersand on the barrel.

Well dah, sorry guess I'm a little slow LOL -I never carried nickel guns when I was LE, now as an old guy I seem to like them a lot. Thanks

Those aren't easy to find. Usually, the snubbies that turn up in the wild are Model 10s.

It looks like you found a very nice nickel Model 19-3 snubby. For the longest time I was purely a blued steel revolver kind of guy, but somehow a few years ago I became attracted to some nickel models. This is a minty Model 19-4 (ca. 1978) that I found at a local gun store. It's a P&R revolver and a fun shooter so I'm good with it. Enjoy!

Must be an old man,'s thing, because mine is very similar to Ben's...LOL.I had the Sanbar stag grips on my Model 10-5 snubby, but I switched them over.
