A rare find? Model 19-2 w/ 3" barrel

[Andy Taylor]

Pure speculation but I would guess that the 3" barrel is original, while the front sight is not.

Any Smith I see with that front sight I want it......But I want them all...Nice gun> Never let it go.

Cool revolver and I LOVE the front sight.

Couldn't agree more - But I do like the look of the sight...

All original would be great. Customized would also be great. Geez, that is just a great looking M19. How is the action and lockup? Any range reports?

A BIG congrats on that, you did good.

My guess is, it started out as a 2-1/2" barrel M-19 and someone put on a 6" M-19 barrel and cut it down and re-rollmarked the lettering and reinstalled the 6" barrel front sight.

I too was curious as to the gold bead in the front patridge sight - kind of gives it a RM look...

Man, that is so true!

That's just a handier Model 27, if you ask me.
