Samwood, that's probably my idea of a perfect concealed carry 19. I have a magnaported model 29-2, and it doesn't flame my nose hairs, so that .357 probably wouldn't, either. If you ever get tired of it..........
3 inch model 19?

I own this Lew Horton 66-3. Supposedly its one of 300 made. Its ported with all the bells and whistles. A few weeks later at another guns hop I seen another that was identical except that one had a ivory diamond inlay in the grip. Never seen another since.
FWIW, last night I examined a 19-2 3" at the Reno Cabelas. I'd guess it to be 90 - 95% with stock magnas. Didn't ask about box and goodies. Asking $2999
Coincidentally, I was packing my 19-4 2.5" that I paid $600 for. May be rare, but not worth 3k for an extra 1/2 of barrel.
Hope it will help someone here that may need it for their collection.

There was also a satin blue Performance Center 3" Model 19-7 "K" comp (right) ...
Should you ever happen upon one in your travels I highly recommend acquiring it !

A super rare 3" gun...WITH a rare YELLOW front sight insert as well? What a combination. Great gun...thanks for posting.
Beautiful revolver. How do you like those Hideout Grips? Are they the rough or smooth ones?

To Texas Star and SpartanDCI. I worked with Harry Archer in
1980. One day, out of the blue, he gave me a handmade fixed
blade knife by W.C Wilber. In the 1980's I was offered $200 for
the knife sight unseen. I didn't sell it.

Old or new, the 3" Model 19 is a special bird.... 
The one that has eluded me over the years is the 3" fixed sight export model... bummer.
The newer PC models are great to carry and a pleasure to shoot.

My 19's are all 4"...
I still have this 3" 66-2 I bought new in 1986. Holding in my hand, it speaks to me.

Haven't been around the forum for some time. Below is a photo of my 3".
If you search my profile, you'll see a discussion about this M19 from years back. It has since been lettered and authenticated including front sight replacement. Was recently offered $1800 by a collector but haven't pulled that trigger yet. I love it too much.

Thanks for all the pics, I didn't even know S&W made the 19 with a 3 inch. Yes AWESOME
I acquired mine a few years ago. Unfortunately Billie Weems engraved it at some point.

Welcome! If it is a factory original 3", the numbers quoted above ($2-3000) are probably in the current range. Not many of these sell so it would likely be difficult to find current sales prices.
A history letter from the S & W Historical Foundation would be a very good idea to verify it came from the factory as a 3" gun. We like photos, by the way
. Hope this is helpful.

Interesting. Archer also designed the Chute Knife made by R .W. Loveless. Of course, that was worth more than $200.
Loveless told me that he got few orders for that knife, but I think it was excellent for the perceived need, for a practical survival knife. I couldn't afford the Loveless, but had a very similar knife made by the late Bob Hajovsky.
