Very impressive pics!! In a world of great firearms produced by many companies, the S&W Model 19 has a pedigree that will ensure its place in history. The research I did in 1977 that lead to my purchase of my CM was well worth it. I still have it, and it is still in great shape.
I have a model 19 no dash at home. The s/n lookup told me it was made in 58 or 59 i think. I got it to carry and shoot but it still looks OK. Sorry, I cant get pics up since it's at home and I'm in Afghanistan. I hope to get it worked on someday and fix the gap and endshake. Mostly I just carry it around for snakes, or the occasional rabid rabbit, may deer hunt with it too.

ive never even seen a CM or pre 19 for sale around here. i have a couple of 19 - ( notsure) laying around and 66es as well.
4 inch K magnum... for all around use, i think that could be be my 1 gun for rest of life if really pressed.
Now, Mike pulling out the granddaddy of them all. NICE.
Bill Jordan is the undisputed father of the CM and to have his personal CM.. now that is just something cool.
Again i say, Very Nice.

Here's a pic of my 19-3. Is it a combat magnum? What exactly does Combat Magnum mean? It sounds good. My 19-3 doesn't have fancy wood grips lika all of yours---at least, not yet. I'm thinking of getting some ahrends. Does it make sense to put brand new grips on an old used gun like this. This baby has some wear and is my faithful companion while hiking through the Sawtooth's of Idaho.

ChefJeff...Combat Magnum is the name given to the revolver that also became the Model 19 in 1957. All S&W revolvers had names back in the 50s and 60s when they were introduced (for example, ".357" Magnum in 1935, 1950 Target 44 in 1950, 44 Magnum in 1956, 41 Magnum in 1964) and still carried the names after model numbers were assigned. Your 19-3 is a Combat Magnum.

Guess I'm late to the party...
Shipped May 1956. I've recently given thought to selling it to fund another purchase, but I fear I will regret the move.

I know that my 4" stainless Model 65 is a much later gun but where does it stand in relation to the Combat Magnum? Other than the sights and the stainless, aren't they the same basic gun?

They are both K-frames chambered in .357 Magnum.
Besides the sights and the material, a Model 65 does not have a shrouded ejector rod or serrations on the grip frame. It has a heavy barrel and the Model 65 shipped with service Magna stocks while the (square butt) Combat Magnum had target sotcks.
A 65 is an M&P like the 10, 13, and 64.

I've got a no-dash 66, SN 9K84XXX, DOB 76(?). Pinned, recessed, but blued rear sight.
Ok. So if you could only have one. Value and price aside. Would you rather have a K frame Combat Magnum or an N frame non reg magnum……. I'll take the K frame.

N-Frame non-registered Magnum if it's a pre-war.
