19-2

[Whiteman]

Picked this up a few months ago. 19-2 with correct box.

Very nice, thanks for sharing but for the sake of safety I'd remove the trigger shoe. They can loosen and slip creating a dangerous situation.

Nice gun.

She is a Safe Queen.

that's a better reason to remove the shoe. Its not original to the gun anyway. Hopefully it hasn't marred the trigger too much

 

[TenTea]

Fresh air, sunshine and powder smoke...that's what she needs!





Very nice!

 

[Whiteman]

bare foot..Just hope she doesn't get cold.

 

[Florida Guy]

Those are some nice looking grips
The gun ain't bad either

 

[Engine49guy]

Nice !
Looks like an early dash 2 as well ?
Do you mind posting the serial and if it has an "L" on the cylinder face ?

 

[samandglove1]

Trigger looks like came out unmarked. Great gun.

 

[Whiteman]

S/N 543XXX I don't see an L ?? but I may not be sure where to look?? P&R in a Springfield Box.

 

[Engine49guy]

K-543xxx more than likely shipped in 1964 and no "L" on the cylinder face is correct for that year.....I assumed it was a bit earlier based solely on the stocks.

Do you mind posting a right side pic?

BTW I just checked my closest is Serial K543424 and Shipped April 1964.

dern pretty old model 19........ & can I ask if the whiteman name originated in duty at a nice little AFB near Sedalia, Mo. ? When I saw your duty stripes. I had to ask.......

We're just north of Pettis County/Johnson County in Saline County & have the pleasure of seeing Air Force planes & coptors on a regular basis as your folks build their hours up........ Tell them thanks from their neighbor to the north......... we take pride in watching them fly whenever we see them........The wife & I loved watching a special on the B2 here years ago....... & when the emcee asked the pilot how large a crew it took to fly one...... the crewman proceded with pride, to list out every person whose job it was to maintain them, service them, work in the personel office, etc., etc., etc.at Whiteman -- and when the emcee wanted to cut him off..... he told him that it took in short, every person at that base to "fly" them.....I like that attitude sir.

In case I'm not the only one wondering what is the signifigance a of an L on the cylinder face? Mighty good looking Combat Magnum!! Mor Thanks wk

 

[Mark6005]

Darn pretty like my -3 that I'm proud of but I don't have those fine diamond grips. That's a beauty you have, hope you enjoy it for many a year

19-1's and early 19-2's used an "L" stamp to ID that they had left hand threaded ejector rods/cylinders so as not to confuse the two parts in stock.

Beautiful gun! I had to go look to see if mine was still in the safe! K557XXX so mine is later than yours.

You're killing me! I stumbled on the deal of a lifetime 3 years ago with a 19-2 in 4". No box, but looked like the gun had never been fired. Like it was loaded in 1967 and put in a sock drawer. Then when the owner died the wife took it to the Gunshop and got 100 bucks for it. So I walk into that shop 3 hours later and bought it from the dopey son of the owner who priced it at $249 because "nobody wants revolvers anymore"!

I fired exactly 50 rounds and swore I'd never sell it. But I did about 6 months after I bought it. Tripled my money, but it was so perfect I didn't want to shoot or holster it. Bumped it taking it out of the safe once and almost cried (didn't leave a mark, thank God)

That 19 is my most regretted sale. Right behind it are a 686 no dash snub, a 686-1 4", a 66-1, a 13-1, and a 10-6. The 13 and 10 were also near perfect with mirror blueing and sold for the same reason as the 19 was.

Man I wish had all those guns back!

After much searching, I managed to find a Model19. Mine is a -2 also but shipped much later than the OP's. Mine is a safe queen too, it came with the original box, paperwork and tools. I just can't bring myself to take it out and shoot it due to it being so darn clean.

Whiteman is my last name and George Allison Whiteman was my grandfathers cousin. I served 4 years 87 to 91, in METNAV and now work for the FAA as Air Traffic Systems Specialist. I was a criminology major but when I joined to Air Force they placed me in electronics. I loved my time in the Air Fore and miss it every day. I regret not going in the guard or reserve after my active duty time. The military saved my life and I could never pay back what it gave to me.
