Default Development of the Model 19 from the Model 15

I took the opportunity today to thoroughly compare a Model 15 to a Model 19, and observe the differences that originally turned the .38 Special "Combat Masterpiece" into the .357 "Combat Magnum Masterpiece." I'm sure there may be other hidden differences, but here are the ones that are most apparent to me in a side-by-side comparison. I thought you might find these of interest. These changes were first brought about in 1955 in response to ideas put forth by Border Patrol officer and top marksman Bill Jordan.

Take a look!

John
