I will take a S & W K or J frame any day! 28 years on the force and sent to the KC,PD. firing range 4 times a year made me an expert marksman with my old service Model 15-3 combat masterpiece. It is all I carry because I am not expecting a zombie apocalypse. The six rounds should be sufficient unless you are in a gang shootout, or just an average shot with one of these. Actually I prefer any S&W revolver.
Ah, the good old days...

I have to agree with GF, nicer and better balanced than the L-frames that have replaced them. And you can keep them shooting forever simply by being prudent with what you shoot through them.
Paladin and GF, I have to admit to never having been a fan of nickel revolvers but those two M19s are sufficiently beautiful to change my mind. Very nice revolvers, thanks for sharing them. (Yes, and Lobo and Pilgrim too).

Here is a question I used to ask my students when I was still instructing regularly. "What are all of those bad guys doing that you want to shoot? That's right, they are shooting at YOU. More bullets in your gun isn't going to stop that, you need to find cover!"
The question was not always well received, the lure of all that extra ammo just so seductive.

B E A utiful! Ain't nothing like a flawless nickel S&W revolver. Smooth rosewoods are just icing on the cake.
My own grail-gun is a 3in factory nickel M-19. I have only ever seen 2.

Gorgeous guns. I've got two 19-4s, a 4" and a 6", but a really, really need a nickel 19. Unfortunately, from now until after 10/1/13, all my gun money's going on things I can't legally buy here in MD after that date. So far, they haven't banned old revolvers.
