Model 19 Mistake???

You guys are a bunch of enablers for sure!!! Guess I should have expected that when I asked if I should buy a gun on a gun forum. I ran over there at lunch today just to look at it again and now it's laying on my cleaning table.

The real problem with it is that it makes me want a 5-inch nickle M27-2.

I just happen to have one! Really nice!

Cleaned it up last night and plan to shoot it later today. It had very little powder fouling so I think it's been a safe queen for most of its 40 year life. So now I've got a set of nickel 19-4's.

That completes the set nicely!

So come on OP.

Tell us.

How did your dealing go? Did they know what they had and dug their heels in?

I've used a technique successfully every time I've tried. If a seller won't budge, I start the story of having to tell my wife I paid full price and the ensuing harassment. That always gets me a dollar discount.
I then get to say, "But Honey, I got it on sale."

It went just as I expected...they would budge one penny on the price.

Yup!

Well look, there's a ramp on a 6".

That's because no one would show up at a pistol match with a nickel M-19 with a "partridge" front sight!

It's your call. Will the extra $50 ($100?) be a severe strain on your budget? How badly do you want it? How many have you seen, and how long ago?

Good luck in your decision.
