Just picked up this 19-3

[kosamson]

I came across this 19-3 marked $300 at a local gun shop. My first handgun was a 4" 19 (-5 I think) that I bought in 1985 and foolishly sold a couple of years later. I've been on the lookout for one for a while now and decided to give this one a good home. The serial # is K991XXX and I'm guessing it's from the early 70's. Can't wait to get some original target stocks on it.

*UPDATED* - Just got these factory target stocks from user 410bore.

A steal of a deal!

K991XXX shows as 1970 according to SCSW.

That's an unbelievable price........isn't it. you did good.

Yep ya stole it for that price!

I picked up my first of 2 P&R Smith's a little over a year ago... A 19-3 in 4". I knew the minute I decided I was buying it that I would NEVER sell it!

Wow, $300. I paid $250 about eight years ago for my beater 19-3. It's an ex-LEO gun and has been through the ringer. BUT, lock-up is great and shoot great too. The model 19's are great K frames. Enjoy.

I have a 4" -3, and it's one of the nicest wheelguns I have ever held. I paid a heck of a lot more than you did. (no regrets either)
