My $350 Model 19-4 Snub

[amd6547]

I found this at the Berea Ohio gun show today...a revolver I've wanted for a long time.
P&R, nickle. smooth as silk action and good lock-up.
The only detraction are some property/case numbers electropenciled on the left side of frame...also left side of barrel and bottom of ejector shroud. They don't bother me as they are pretty small, and...this is a shooter.
Now, to find a nice set of factory wood and a T-grip.

Woo-wee that sure is nice!!

Thanks...I did a doubletake when I saw the price.

That's a very good price for a shooter. I paid significantly more for my blued shooter. BTW, I just got back from the range and mine really shoots nicely. I found myself surprisingly accurate with it. With 38s it has very little recoil. I didn't run any mags or +Ps through mine.

Very nice. I did not see that one.
I am glad they had 3 buildings open today.

It was at the Best Firearms table...they always seem to have some good prices.
Amen on the three buildings...I refuse to go to the Berea show in the winter...too crowded in those two buildings, dangerously so.

Best has good deals from time to time. Good to see the 3 buildings open. You must have found that early in the show. I was carrying a 1955 pre-17 and a 29 classic. Money seemed tight at the show. Actually had the pre-17 sold but the person didn't want to give me his name and drivers lic no. for a C&R sale. Nice catch on a good carry gun. Larry

I have a blued 2.5 inch M19 and a short stainless M66.
I would love to have a nickled M19 like yours.

Great price! I was at a local gunshow this past Saturday and saw a excellent shape blued one with wood grips priced at $450.00. I passed.

Thats the gun I've been looking for since I got my 19-4 4". Passed on one last year ( too high ) with an after market finish for $500.
I'm so jealous that my nose is bleeding.

 

[LOBO]

Very nice indeed!!

 

[amd6547]

Too bad they engraved the case #...engraved on left side of frame, repeated on barrel, and under topstrap...plus "exh.2"....a revolver with "history".

Were you charged with that theft? Nice deal!!!

Congrats! Beautiful snubby 19 you scored!

When I read your post, I thought "who ever gets to see a nice 19 for $350 these days, let alone a snubby!!".

Well, at lunch I found a 2.5" 19-4, 95% with blue worn on the trigger guard.......for $350. Getting my wallet out was the fastest draw I've done in some time! Enjoy yours! Regards 18DAI.

Good job, 18DAI!....We need pics!
