19-2 I have an early model snubby 19-2 and have been told that the revolver may or may not have been issued with diamond grips. Since it was made during a transition period between diamond and newer non-diamond grips that the factory may have used the diamond grips until they ran out of stock...

It's been a real fun thread and lots of food for thought for people like me that have always had an appreciation for revolvers but not the cash flow to collect them in quantity. The original purpose was to give me some sort of idea as to what models were favorites. That way if I'm in a gun...

You got me 3 ways on this one. I'm a sucker for a snubby, I'm a sucker for a model 19, and now I'm a sucker for Pintos ! That is a beautiful gun.

I am huge SUCKER for snubbies too. Rick

Thanks Bob, I lucked into this one from a private individual. I'll have to see what Gun Grip Supply has to offer. Rick

Baby steps ! See my post about "original equipment !" LOL !! Rick

Better now with your help! Thanks again. Rick T.

That would be awesome ! If you want to take the time and send a few photos I'll love to see what he has. I don't suppose he'd have pics on a website or something like that? Rick [email protected]

Great information. Maybe I'm just assuming that since the serial number of my gun dates it to Dec. of 1966, that it came with Diamond Magnas !? Maybe I'm wrong about that. Rick

I've considered many different styles and makes but I'm a big fan of original equipment. Just like an old car......the customs look great but I want my '57 Chevy convertible stock original ! (When ever I can afford to get one of those too !) I've seen some Cocobalos with a lot of black...
