Agree. A gun that I want is worth exactly what I'm willing to pay for it, regardless of whether anyone else thinks it's a "good deal" or not.

If it helps you for price comparison purposes, I bought a nickel 2.5 inch 19-4 about 18 months ago, 99% but no box/papers, for $600. It's a great gun, and I'm very glad I bought it.

Mr. Ayoob, I have a great deal of respect for you as a firearms expert and writer, but I think you are missing the point. Both of the cases you mentioned involved double action revolvers, and the issue was whether the guns were cocked. In Alvarez, the prosecutor argued that it was, and in...

I haven't weighed in on this because I didn't think I had anything to add that had not already been said, but I have to concur with "southcoast." I'm not a firearms expert, but I am a lawyer with Westlaw access, and I can't find a case where a modified trigger was an issue in a shooting...

P&R ended with the 19-5.

Took my old Series 70 to the range yesterday, carried my CCO today, and have a new Government Model in .38 Super on order. I guess you could say I like them, too.

I paid $600 for a nickel 2.5 inch 19-4 a little over a year ago, no box, but original grips and in better condition than the one in your post. $550 is a bit steep, at least in my area.

I use CLP to clean mine. When they first come home, they get a thorough polish with Mothers (available at auto stores), followed by Johnsons wax.

Your acquaintance's behavior is the exact OPPOSITE of how a reasonable and prudent person who carries a gun should behave. When we carry, we should take great pains to stay away from confrontation, or contributing to the escalation of any situation that might lead to confrontation. If you have...

Just my opinion, but since the finish has already been tampered with, that gun looks like a good candidate for rebluing. Very nice find. Congratulations.

I was making the limited point that like the BHP, the ergonomics of the 19 work well for most people. The operative word is "most." I understand that you subjectively disagree, but I fail to see how that affects the validity of the comparison.

Collectible because they don't make them anymore. Desirable because it's the Browning Hi-Power of revolvers: points and handles naturally for most people, fits most hands well, just excellent ergonomics. I love them. Shoot one and you probably will too.

I am a lawyer, and my practice is primarily insurance law. While I am not generally opposed to the idea of a church security team, there are a number of things a church and potential team members should consider before going down that road. First, make sure your church has some sort of corporate...

OK, it was actually the Mrs., but they sure dress up the Model 19-4.
