I've got a blued 4" 19-4 w/all options, box, papers and tools I stole in an online deal a few years ago. From a dealer, too. Now I'm looking for a nickel one to match. Congrats on yours, OP. It's the gun to keep, even if you have to part with all your others.

Who says?
My wife would

There are guns we buy because we want another gun, then there are guns we buy because we just "ought" to have them. Your 19-2 falls into the latter category and now you ought to enjoy it for a long time to come. Congratulations on a great find.

KICKING MYSELF VERY HARD INDEED!
Another reason to love Valentines day. Any other day I'd of snagged it in a heartbeat. Had I spent 800$ on myself & a card for her, the best outcome would have been divorce without any bodily injury. Then there would have been the shoot it or not Question, I know I would have taken the investment loss for a real nice shooting/ head turner of a gun. I'm waiting to see it in a bidding war on gun broker, How high do you suppose that could go? I'll have to settle for the mdl 10 that I will have no problems with the spouse, or shooting the snot out of it. I guess it just wasn't meant to be. (rationalization big time.)

Trying to find a gun that has been kept in great condition for 30+ years is getting increasingly difficult.
This is one of the reasons why I have guns that I shoot and look at, and others that are there simply for carry/hunting/knocking around. I was fortunate enough to have a bunch of P&R S&Ws, Colts, and old model Blackhawks handed down to me that were in just about as good of a condition as they were when the left the factory 30-40 years ago. I guess I just kept that tradition going and will do the same for my kids in another 20 years or so.

TEMPTATION
While I can't resist firing any gun, and don't keep safe queens. I have to applaud those that can and do have the will power, especially when I buy a fantastic condition/ low round count old gun.
