Big Model 19 fan here! So I had to find me one of these last year. Fortunately the number series is a plus in respects to the caliber. “357” :p
The beautiful Smith & Wesson Model 19-6 "Hands Off" was produced with the partnership of Smith & Wesson and Ellet Bros. There were only 500 made. The...
I don’t know the year it was made. However I do know that the shiny stainless is a trait of the older Model 60’s. I actually love that about them, newer S&W have that foggy looking stainless steel finish. Not a fan of it. I had three of these in my lifetime and all looked like they were nickel...
awesome! I remember when I got lucky and found one like yours however it was a 19-4 and it had the TT, TH and red ramp front sight. I was so excited and it was a blast to shoot. Congratz my friend.
I am a Model 19 fan and interested in a .22 S&W revolver with the same frame size as the Model 19. Any recommendations? I have heard about the Model 18 and Model 17 but don’t know the difference and which is best or close to the Model 19 etc… Any tips? Thanks!
Your very welcome sir. The night sights are:
Meprolight Smith & Wesson Tru-Dot Night Sights K/L/N Frame Revolvers, with Red Insert Front/Adjustable Rear
Model# ML22770
Price for the night sights can range but I got a good deal on them on eBay. I had my local Gunsmith perform the install, I...
For target practice, basic mix of .38 special 158gr Federal lead round nose and full metal jacket. I keep the brass because I may start hand loading soon.
For self-defense ammo I go with the Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel Ammunition .38 Special +P 135 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point’s. I reviewed...
Pick whichever you can shoot well*
However for me, it’s the SW Model 66-1 2 ½ inch barrel in stainless with hogue rubber grips and k-frame model 19/66 night sights!
Model 66 is basically the model 19 but in stainless steel

I bought a Model 19 Texas Ranger Commemorative myself last year and it was in NIB condition, had all the papers and accessories. Wood box and gun didn’t have any scuffs and gun looked to be unfired etc.. I paid $1100 for it. Seen them on online auctions starting around $800 and go to about under...
A lot of Model 19-4’s and below have no issues being sold. I am sure you will find it pretty easy to sell. However murphydog is correct, the best sellers for the bigger prices are the 2 ½ inch and 4 inch variations which are some of the most sought after. You could start off with an online one...
Ah yes, great choice my friend. You can’t go wrong with a Model 19. May not be-all and end-all but you cannot go wrong with it for sure. Started with one, then spread to a collection that spans to about 6 Model 19’s. I really appreciated the mechanics, frame size, rich history and its success in...
