Finally got myself a Model 19 Snub!

[PALADIN85020]

I think the Model 19 and 66 snubbies are two of the most attractive revolvers extant. I've fitted mine with Ahrends stocks for better recoil control, but I've kept the originals and the box and papers on each.

Congratulations! That's a nice snub! Good score!

One of the 'grail guns' of the late 60s/early 70s: this, the Model 60 and the Model 29. If you came up with one of these, folks would whistle and ask "How?". A great candidate for a Tyler T-Grip as the RB gun would dive into the hand when firing magnum ammo. Still a nice snag!

Thanks all!


Ps, paid 800 for it, but considering the times and being in CA...not bad I think?

IMO, considering the times and being in CA, for THAT gun, it's a great price.

My only 19 snub which is. a 19-7 now wearing Culina cocobolo stocks. I enjoy owning this piece of equipment.

I agree with PALADIN85020 that the model 19/66 in 2.5 inch bbl is one of the most attractive revolvers ever made. I had 2 opportunities to own a model 66 in that barrel length at a good price and unfortunately walked away in each case. I regret that very much.

Looks to be a Safe Queen - BEAUTIFUL!!

SWEET !!!
They are surprisingly good shooters ...
You would think the 2 1/2" bbl. would be a handicap but it's not and they ride so well in a belt holster .
Take the girl out ... I bet she loves to dance !

At one time I had both a 19 & 66 in snubs . My sister didn't have one so I offered her one , her choice . I just laid both on the table and said " pick one " . She chose the 66 . I was actually glad as I really wanted the 19-5 . I really enjoy shooting my 19 with 357 hand loads . Regards Paul

The only thing better than a 2 1/2" 19/66 is a 3" 66.................

Never understood why S&W didn't make more of them.....the 3" 66 are a footnote in S&W history with between five and six thousand built..... IIRC there are only about five or six hundred 3" 19s from the mid-70s.

What a great thread.
I was going to "like" nearly every post, then decided to just say thanks to all of the participants.
There's sure some pretty firearms here and some good stories.
Thanks

Congrats on such a sexy classic!

Love the 19s. I’d pay you $800 for it right now.
