It's already in CA, so nothing has to be done. If it was outside CA then it would need to be converted to SA. It can be converted back after in CA but it you need a single action sear and maybe some other parts and a smith to do it unless you possess the skills. I do not.

4" barrel. Finish is not horrible but has light scratches. Finish around muzzle is almost gone due to holster wear. California has an "approved" list of guns known as "On Roster". Because these have no lock they are "off roster" or not approved. There may be other criteria. If this gun was out...

Can you guys give your estimates on a fair value for a 19-3 "shooters grade" (if that is a correct term). Assuming the gun is mechanically good with tight lockup. No idea of round count but certainly looks well used, maybe a daily carry for LEO. Holster wear around muzzle. Hogue rubber grips, no...

The 3 T's are ? Target Hammer Target Trigger Target Stocks Were target stocks a factory option or after market? If after market I assume they are not desirable from a collectors standpoint?

Thanks for the info Saxon, or is it Mr. Pig? [emoji6] The question about sending to S&W was more of a "what if". I'll check the internals and tighten the strain screw a bit.

Thanks for all the info. I did some searching and perhaps the light strikes were caused by a high primer - first strike pushes the primer deeper and second strike fired it? Or could he the strain screw not in far enough?

I finally had a chance to take this beauty to the range yesterday. It feels great and is very accurate. I did have issues with light primer strikes. I shot about 20 rounds of .357 and 40 of .38 special. I had 8-10 light strikes that barley dimpled the primer. Seemed to happen more during the 20...

I did a Google image search for "military firearm flaming bomb proof mark C inside". It appears to be Belgian. But the mark inside the "bomb" is an L apparently. 8mm Mosin Nagant Restoration Project - Page 2

I did read posts about Model 19's and a steady diet of .357. I doubt I would shoot too many for it to be an issue. I also have a Marlin 1894C lever action in .357 that I can blast away with. Any info on the DOB/ship date based on the serial #. 1980-ish?

I have been lurking around here for a while and absorbing as much as I can. I have wanted an S&W revolver for some time - I almost bought a new production 686 but felt if I waited a while I could find a pre-lock. My only other revolver is a Ruger Blackhawk SA .357 pre-safety from 1967. :eek...
