I bought a model 619 yesterday. (Like new in original box with all factory included accessories, 1/14/08 test fired date).

I prefer adjustable sights on a 4" or larger revolver.
I prefer a square butt on a 4" or larger revolver.
Wood grips are almost always my first choice.
I don't like revolvers with un-shrouded ejector rods.
I prefer 6 over 7 shot revolvers.
I only own and buy pre-lock S&W's.

So then why was I so attracted to this atrocity of my usual preferences!? It's not like I haven't walked away from deals before, but for some reason, as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have it. :o

I haven't had it to the range yet, but my first impressions are extremely favorable. It fits my hand like a glove. Fit and finish is beautiful. Typical S&W quality with tight tolerances and rock solid lock-up. From the limited information I could gather online, it appears these have a 2-piece barrel(?) and had a fairly short production run.

Any information or links shared on this model is greatly appreciated!

The 619 is briefly described on page 252 of the SCSW, but says very little beyond a description. Do a search and something will come up. I envy you your purchase, I would love to have a 619!
