Is this Model 19-3 worth it?

[jsfricks]

I found a 98%+ High gloss blue 19-3 dating to around 1975. I thought it would be nice to add a 6" to go along with my 4" 19 No Dash. Seller wants $550. No box or docs. Is that a good price, a little high, or what? Thanks for your input.

JUMP on that.

 

[Xfuzz]

Yes, it is...

That is gorgeous! Run, do not walk! For the price of a Glock, you can have THAT. It's a no brainer to me.

It very nice gun and we can't go back to 1975 when things was built better..

I'd have emptied my wallet onto the guy's coffee table the second his lips stopped moving.

What they said.

 

[Janitor]

NO! It's WAY too high!!

I'll send you the $550 and when you send me the -3 it will be yet one more way overpriced six gun taken off the streets where some unfortunate innocent may get duped into paying too much.

Two choices: (1)buy it and be really happy or (2)pass it up, delete these pictures and spend the rest of your life trying to forget.

Not a big 6" fan myself, but that seems like a good buy.

 

[Wraith_K]

Very nice! I be fretting over not picking that one up.

 

[snubbyfan]

You're kiddin' right?
Don't delay, get it now.

 

[holo]

go get it that's a great price

 

[jsfricks]

Thanks for the advice. And no, I'm not kidding, I did a search on the forum on values and they're kinda all over the place. And I usually have to sell one to buy one. So I have to decide if I like this better than say, the 15-3 I recently bought. I did pick up a 36 pretty cheap the other day that I could sell. With the wear on it and the price I was thinking on making it a truck gun. But I really do like this 19-3. My collection is kinda 'all over the place'. I try to stay older (1950-1960's) but I really like the 357 Magnum and have a early M-27 8 3/8 and an early M-19 4" but don't have a 6".

Price sounds reasonable in these parts, and condition looks very good. I also have a -3 6" and it shoots superbly. I once hit a standard sized junk fire extinguisher at my brother-in-law's target/junkpile from an optically measured 120 yards using commercial .357 ammo. I knocked it over on the third shot, extremely satisfying. Got mine on GB about 6 years ago that was only listed as S&W .357, no model designation. Thus, I was the only bidder. I paid $335.00 then, but I know I stole it and would have paid up to $450.00. Six years later it is definitely a $550.00 gun. Or more.

Revolvers have hit a new across the board. No more $400 and under. When I see something I like, I buy it before someone else does. The candidate you are considering is in rare condition. If it suits you, i wouldn't wait.

Yea but think what that Glock will be worth in the future compared to the 19...........wait......never mind.

 

[revolver59]

Grab it and run!!

 

[peepaw]

I wouldn't have thought twice. It would be in my safe
Right now.
