M19-3 again

[larryofcc]

1976 vintage M19-3 has standard trigger and hammer. I want to install a target trigger. Was it a .400 or .500 type, or either? I have already purchased a .500 hammer off Ebay. Thanks, Big Larry

Factory was the .500 type...correction .400.

 

[larryofcc]

Just what I thought. Thank you Sir. Big Larry

I put a .500 on a 66 if you look next to my name at my avatar. Just be advised they may make contact with holsters and create a safety issue.

Factory target trigger for a Model 19 was .400"

Well thanks all. I went with the .500 as the first poster advised that was correct for a M19-3. Too late now. I already bought it.
As for the holster setting the gun off, no worries there, as I am pretty much a collector now, and probably won't even shoot it. Always wanted one with the 3 "T"'s. Thanks again, Big Larry

Big Larry...I believe the 0.500 inch wide target trigger is correct for your Model 19-3. The one shown below was shipped in October 1971 and letters with a TH, TT, red ramp, white outline, and Class C-engraving. The width of the TH and TT are 0.500 inch. I have owned three other .357 Combat Magnums with a TH and TT trigger, a Model 19 and two Model 19-2s; all measured 0.500 inch wide. Click on the photo for a better look.

Wow. That's a beautiful model 19 you have, Doc.

That's an understatement. Thanks Bill. You put my mind at ease. Big Larry
