6 inch model 19-4 Added a couple range pics.

[John1125]

I bought one of these in the early 80s and don't even recall where it wound up. I moved on and either traded or sold it since money was tight and I made somewhere around 4 bucks an hour .

I decided it was time to replace it . Found this one a few days ago.

Have not gotten to shoot it yet , but maybe in the next couple of days.




Thanks for looking ,
Kirk

That's a nice one. Don't forget photos for the range report.

I love shooting this 19-2

Looks to be a 1980 gun and nicely preserved. Enjoy!

Those are a beautiful pair of grips ! ! ! !

For some reason, the 6" guns don't get the love they deserve.

I had one exactly like that. I bought it new in 1980. Traded it a few years later on a Colt .45 ACP Government Model that I later sold. Oh, well...

That's a beautiful M-19 6"revolver.Congrats

You got yourself a keeper there, John1125.

I have had my 19-3 since new in 1973. Carried it hunting, shot 3 deer with it, and killed many attacking beer cans. I have a nylon padded holster that covers all but the grips, and can't think of a better field gun. Not as big and heavy as my model 29 (also 6") but very accurate and easy shooting. Love mine, and will never get rid of it.

I have one. Think of it as an S&W M-14 Plus.

Nice revolver. Sent a range report, please.

Very nice!

I have a 2.5" and 4" M19, and obviously I need to start hunting for a 6"!

 

[Raystown]

That's a real nice revolver you got there. Beautiful set of target grips, nice grain. Congrats !!

 

[ISCS Yoda]

I prefer 4" guns but that shore iz purty!!!!!

I had one that I bought in the 70s and loved it. Should have never sold it. I believe that I have just put a deal together on a 17-3 and matching 19-3 - Target grips, target hammer and target trigger. Both have original boxes. What does everyone think about a Model 66 as compared to the Model 19?

I purchased a gently used Model 19-2 in the exact same configuration in 1979 for $150 and I still have it. The target stocks are worth that today. How things have changed.

I've been eyeballin' 6" model 19's with the Patridge front sight as well. I like ramps for field use and as the eyes age I LOVE the red insert. But nothing like a Patridge setup on a 6" K-frame for fun at the range.

I've got a no dash 17 with a red insert Patridge front and a pre-model 27 that does as well. If I come across the same setup on a 19 that may be what pushes me over...

 

[Beauetienne]

Sweet! I also love my 19-4, 6". One of the three most accurate pistols I've owned.

 

[sigp220.45]

That is a beauty. I know the great feeling of replacing one that got away.

I had a 6" 19 with a ramp front sight, but it spit lead so bad it went down the road. Now you've got me thinking about finding another.

Enjoy!

Range report added




Here is a target at 15 yds with a 2 hand hold . The fliers are me without any doubt .

This was with my reloads which are 125 grn acme bullet over 3.8 grns of titegroup.

The 19 shoots excellent !

It has been a long time since I shot a 6 inch 38 ,forgot how much fun it really is !

I worked a little on the trigger / sear and replaced the return spring with a lighter one . It has an excellent single action very crisp and just below 3 lbs . Hey it even makes things go bang double action !



One happy camper here , like I'm in the eights again.
