19-4 3Ts 6” at LGS today, hard for me to value?

[Cotis]

Stopped in my LGS right at end of the day, always go straight to the little used case. They just took in a model 19-4 6" with the three Ts, target stocks, red insert on front sight. Only pistol, no box. Condition is very good, action is slick. They are asking $700. It has me conflicted. I purchased a 14-2 6" from them last year for a song, it cleaned up to be the most accurate S&W I own. I already have a 19-5 4" that I slicked up and really like. If I take out the looney desire to just buy it, the practical side of me doesn't see it filing a niche in my collection. TIA

I would have left with a 6" model 19.

If you want a six inch 19-4 $700 seems a reasonable for a nice one as described in what I call "very good condition." It would likely be found where I shop tagged at a Benjamin or two more than $700. Good luck.

The 19 - 4 was the last pinned and recessed which goes a long way with collectors. After that, I am out. The 19-5 you have is not in the same ball park for price.

Yep, that 19-4 would be in my safe now if I had seen it......Ben

Cotis, "practical side", what are you talking about? Go back, and start
dickering. Man, you are a real hoot, practical side.

$700 for a nice P&R 19, even a 6" is a good price. That said, I am not into six inchers, so I'd leave it for someone else to bring home.

I would have dickered a bit but if it came right down to it I would have taken it for that price, no question.

 

[Cotis]

I am letting it marinate. They just took it in on consignment and weren't in the mood to "dicker" yet on it. I would have walked out with it in a sec at $500-$600. Maybe if it sits a while, if I miss it I won't be too upset.

It did get me looking at 27-2s late last night though. I decided that is one that I NEED to have in my collection so I am going to focus on that for now

You could always get your money out of that so yes, I would have bought it.

 

[gmborkovic]

Cotis, shop has no skin in the game. Yea, let it age. Now that is practical!

 

[Model19man]

Every time I do that the gun sells to someone else while I let it marinate. I hope you are luckier than me!

Is there any Model 19-4 information there? The link is very confusing at best.
