Mod 19

[Guest]

I always enjoy having another Model 19 thread so I can show out this one:

Yes, it is a Model 19-3 with Fixed Sights and a 3 inch Barrel and was one of 50 that were part of an over run from a French contract.

Well, I am certainly in good company on the M19 issue! I have the M19-5 with factory grips, Ajax Sambar Stag Grips, and a set of Pachmyers for it. I always thought the factory grips felt the best in my hand. Although Ajax has some very nice grips for the 19 that look factory but are a bit fancier wood. I keep it loaded in my study with Hornady JHP .38. Don't want to waste a neighbor over some wacko intruder.

Which gun do you keep around for the Wacko Intruder???

Clearly, you've never met some of my neighbors!!!

For what I gave for the Bill Jordan gun, I could have bought a whole bunch of new ones !

Glad your son liked the picture.

And to others -

Here are a couple of 3" 19's that I forgot about:

Mike:

If you ever want to get rid of one of those 3"ers, please put me on the list

Thanks

Nope, not me.

What is REALLY sad is that once, in the not too distant past, that could be a picture of a "few" issue guns laying on the workbench of a department armorer, getting a cleaning, inspection or tune up...and, several dozen more owuld be hanging on hooks in the armory ready to be issued..

Here's one of mine from 1959. Wonderful guns!

What! No nickel 19 snubbie? A 4or6" round butt nickel? Now that would be a cool one.

Whats the story on the unusual speed-loader cut on those grips ? The grips
look factory, but that is not the factory cut. Do you know anything about it ?

Regards, Mike

Mine's a Model 19-3, 4inch, blue. It seems like it's always my 'go to' gun. Just feels good in your hand.

Mike,

I found the gun with rubber grips and quickly replaced them with the Craig Spegel grips you see in the picture. They feel great on this gun - and don't look too bad either.

Wacko intruders are to be favored with the fruit of the Mossburg 500 Police, 00 Buck for the first 5 rounds, slugs for the second five from the ammo holder on the stock (it is easier to shoot THROUGH a corner than to shoot around it). While I am entertaining the wackos, my lovely and charming spouse will be backing me up with a Winchester with similar loads. This delicate cactus flower was raised in NM by a police officer who taught her to shoot. She qualified on the police range with a M1911 at age 16. Actually, the .38 JHP's are more a concession to her arthritis than my concern about the neighbors.

Bill, it may have been expensive, but it's pretty well priceless!
