https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JII__KNLYY0 Alk - I'm very glad that you suggested that. I've watched the above video on how to correct endshake, I think I should have no problem performing the repair based off what I saw. Could you recommend me a reference for finding out what size gap I...

I'd like to start off by saying that I truly appreciate each and everyone that's taken time out of their day to respond, thanks! The gun is spotless, no carbon buildup or residual gunpowder anywhere. It's sat in a case for 99.9% of its life tucked away in a closet, when I say mint, it's damn...

Howdy folks! I purchased my father's Model 19-3 that he bought new in 79 and only put about 5 boxes of .38 through it. I've had the gun about 3 years and have only put roughly 100 bullets through it, and nearly all of those were .38. I understand that shooting .38 through a .357 can lead to...

Hello, I'm new to the forums, and I'm hoping that I came to the right place. I have a Model 19-3 K Frame .357 Magnum with a 6" barrel. I personally like the look of a full frame barrel, instead of what I have. This gun was handed down to me (for a mere $800) from my dad, it's only been fired a...

Thank you so much. I'm going to order sights today and then post pics of before and after. I just bought my dads 35 year old Model 19-3 6"barrel that's only been shot 5 times since he bought it new. He had it sitting in a case in his closet this entire time. Its a beautiful piece of work.

Thank you all for your incredibly helpful responses. I have yet another question.... After I punch out the pin at the front sight how do I remove the sight assuming the gun will be in a vice?

I saw that the replacement rear sight blades come in a variety of sizes. I'm uncertain what size mine is. Is there any sort of chart that I may be able to see to determine what size mine is? Thank you so much for the heads up on that. I'm so glad that you pointed that out!

Hi guys, I'd like to replace the factory sights on my 19-3 to fiber optic sights. This is something that I think I'm completely capable of doing, I'm just not sure of the proper way to go about it. I'm going to ask alot here but, here goes: What size pin remover will I need for the front...

Hi there! I am a new owner of a mint Model 19-3 6" barrel .357. I am interested in replacing the factory wooden target grips(I think thats what they are refered to). The grips actually fit quite nice but I would like to change them to something with indiviual finger recesses. The gun will only...
