Thanks everyone I was told by a gunsmith that this is the only flaw in the older 19's but he did not say why. I will heed your advice and steer clear of light bullets.
I have heard you should not shoot semi jacketed 357 out of the 19-3 does this include FMJ? and should you never shoot semi jacketed or just not a steady diet of them?
I am looking to find a set of jordan trooper grips for a model 19 square butt pistol. Was told the grip maker had passed away anyone have a set they want to sell?
