Model 19-3 is finally here!
Finally received my first K-frame, I intend on carrying this revolver once I get a holster and my ammo arrives for it. Lockup is amazingly tight, even better then my 29-3. Exterior wise, it's definately got some wear, but I'm not concerned about that since I shoot all my guns, collector pieces can come later. There appears to be some rust that is mostly covered by the grips, not sure how I should go about removing it....
Let me know what you guys think!
Here's it's big brother for comparison

Thanks for the tip! I'm looking forward to shooting it, got some PPU .38's on the way and Speer gold dot 158 gr jhp's for carry
That steel wool won't hurt the bluing will it? Even with the oil?

Does your auto loader work with 357s and the large grips? Mine doesn't do well...

I prefer bronze wool and oil, either CLP or Kroil on light surface rust. It should clean up fine and looks like a great shootder.

Looks a lot like my 19-4
I don't mind some honest holster wear. 
I bought mine years ago, to teach my daughters to shoot
I really love mine.

There is a guy near me who I will be going to in search of a leather holster, he's made several for local police departments.

Congratulations on a great firearm. My 19-3 from 1969 is my favorite to shoot.
