My new 19-2 3" Barrel... (ignore the Pre 29)

[bigl1911]

Complete with box...

Very Hard for me to ignore the Pre 29, but if I have to! Nice looking model 19 you got, the short barrel guns seem to be what folks want now. Enjoy your revolvers, and Happy 4th! Ray

Is that actually a 3"? Thought they came in 2-1/2", 4", and 6".

 

[jjbrewst1]

Yes. Full size ejector rod. Very rare in 3".

Yes. Full size ejector rod. Very rare in 3".

Hi Jim...
The one thing I am not sure of if the 3" inch model were all target sights..

 

[SJshooter]

Very nice! Not sure I've ever seen one in that length.

That 3" 19 deserves its own spotlight. Great find!

Since they are KT-357's, most do but, you know S&W...

They made two runs of fixed sight 19-3's.

The 19 pictured is not a 3 "...it is a 2.5"

Very nice!!
Did they made a 19-2 3" without target sights?

 

[bigl1911]

3"for sure...

That one always trips my OCD because of the lack of target sites,
If the one pictured below is a 65 (not a 66) isnt the one above really a 3" Model 13 ?
Got to love S&W and their quirkiness but Im not sure the Model 13 existed yet when that 3" 19-3 was made in 1974 ?



BTW there was another run of 3" Combat Magnums made in the 19-7 PC K comps pictured below with a 2.5" 19-5 :

 

[Art Doc]

It is a 3" M19. Very, very rare.

 

[bigl1911]

It is a 3" M19. Very, very rare.

I believe they were made in 1964 1965 maybe 1966...

 

[epj]

Rare indeed. Don't think I've ever seen one before. Nice!

 

[g8rb8]

Fantastic!
Two unicorns in one post!
A 3" fixed sight and a 3" adjustable sight model 19.

I've been thinking about the fix vs. targets.. You are adding so many great examples figured I should show these to as Targets..

Oooh, I wish my 2 1/2 inch was a 3 inch. They just look RIGHT!

Congrats on the new one.
