New (to me) 19-5

[6nexus]

Recently picked up a 19-5 in very nice condition. No holster wear, a faint ring around the cylinder but that's about the only sign the gun was used. Paid $500, probably a little on the high side but this is nice. This is my first go at an older revolver.

Congrats on the find. For what it's worth, I have seen them go for more money in that nice of condition.

Thanks for the morale booster. I'm pretty sure I'll kill off any remaining buyer's remorse as soon as I get it out to the range.

One more pic, little better quality.

I'll take all of the $500 M19's you'll sell to me if they are in that condition.

I prefer the P&R M19's, but I wouldn't pass up the deal you got on that one either. Very nice.

I'll bet it's a good shooter too. Congrats!

For the money i'd say you picked up a real fine 19-5. What you paid is certainly not unreasonable at all. They are very accurate guns and easy to pack in the field. You didn't go wrong!

$500 these days is about rock bottom for any Model 19 that's mechanically sound with little or no holster and handling wear. Well done.

That was a good deal

Very nice. You might think the price was high, but they are just going up. The M19 is a great gun.

6nexus, for what its' worth I paid almost that much for my M 19-5 two years ago, so I think you did just fine $$ wise. My -5 shoots just as well as my -3 or any other M-19 I've owned.

Now get that guy to the range ASAP.

Sweet as sweet can be.

Thanks for all the input everyone. Great to hear I got a nice deal.

 

[echo1xg36c]

Very nice ! One of personal favorites.

 

[parolebear]

I agreed with the other guys, in my area that would be a good deal. You did not steal it but did very well.

Nice gun; I'm sure you will enjoy it and be glad you bought it. My first real handgun, bought about 30 years ago, was a 4-inch nickel Model 19. Other than swapping the beautiful wood grips for Crimson Trace grips it is just like I bought it, and still my go-to home defense gun. I think it is about as close to perfection as a handgun can get to the right balance of form and function.

I paid the same for a 19-4 4" P&R that dates to 1980 a couple of weeks ago & was happy to get it. After shooting it the other day I believe it is worth every nickel I paid, pretty sure you will feel the same way after you shoot yours. The 4" 19 is a great piece of work IMHO

Me too!

Hey, 6nexus! Very nice find! Good deal! I would LOVE to find a 19 for $500. On my bucket list!

Have the same exact one. Love my N frames but to me the K frame 19 fits better in my hand. Congrats you will love here just don't load them too hot , a few is fine but not a steady diet

 

[6nexus]

Not a problem regarding the hot loads. At the range, 38's work just fine for killing paper.
