This one, I have papers from the S&W historian. Model 19 reverse pinto from the factory.

Here is one

The hand spring inside the trigger is probably not engaged correctly with the pins on the hand. Easy fix. Never saw one broke.

Could have even been the Pennsylvania DOC. Any initials engraved on it?

I was able to handle a Taurus 66 357mag the other day. The sale's person would not take off the trigger lock. I noticed that the ratchets were not cut! They seem to be cast or molded. At S&W armorer school we had to first cut the ratchets with a homemade tool and then in some cases file each...

What do you pay for a box of 50 of these remanufactured ammo?

If you are shooting to the left move the front sight a little to the left. You will need a vise,hammer , and a 1/4 inch by 3 inch long flat headed BRASS bolt from homedepot. Google front sight on shield on Youtube....

This is not a joke put the slide in the freezer over night. Then put it in a vise use the biggest aluminum or brass punch you can. It seems you are the forth person I am aware of whose gun shoots to the left. I messed my front sight up with a steel punch, called S&W they sent me a new one...

I brought one new in the 1970's later I I sold it back to the store owner for twice what I paid for it! I never found out why he want it so much. I should have never sold it. Do not change anything and it will always go BANG!

I sent you an Email. Check out -Pacific Tool & gauge -Yoke &Crane alignment tool for S&W KLN frames. One can never have too many tools

I have a pair in the box, but I am not sure if I had them refinished they look new. Sent me you email address and I will send you pictures. Before I send pictures what are they worth to you?

I carry my shield in my front pocket. I am ready to stone the razor like edge off the rear edge of my rear sight. The sight is wearing a hole in the top of my pants pockets!

I went to S&W armor school, NRA instructor School and was an armorer for years until I got promoted. On thing I learned is when you are cleaning gun in a little room is that you do not want to be smelling chemicals. Buy some stainless steel bore and cylinder brushes they will make short work of...
