So there I was.. all alone at the Gun Show.. No Diamonback68 to hold me back... No Joe to remind me it's NOT an "N" Frame!!"..

AND A LITTLE VOICE SAID..... GO AHEAD ONE WON'T HURT!!

I found the Model 19-3 on one table and a set of "K" Frame Combats on the next table still in the original package.. and the prices were such I still have a pain in my elbow reaching for my wallet!!:eek::D:D:D

It was Fate I Tell Ya!! FATE.. :eek::rolleyes:;):D ..
I had forgotten how nice the Snubbie 19 felt in your hand..

But fear not.... even as we speak I am back in the
" N FRAME : 27 Game!! :eek::D:D:D

Very nice Sal. I was there for about an hour this morning. They changed it up a little. I was disappointed the "antique guy" was not there. I sold the lemon squeezer to your friend in the west corner (where you got the nickel 5" 27), with full disclosure of the rebound spring and firing pin problem. He was happy to get it at a good price, had a gunsmith in mind to fix it and I doubled my money. Lots of old S&W revolvers from high to stratospheric, but at least it was different vendors. See ya in Lakeland in 3 weeks. Joe
 
"Geez Sal, why dintcha cry out, I coulda mebe done sumpin to save ya man." :(

Appears there's no saving you now, you're getting deeper into the K-frames and after that all's hopeless and you my not ever make it back to N-frame land. :eek: :D
 
Ah yes, the adoption process is alive and well! All though you do know, that K Frame won't grow up any!! :D ;) It'll always be a puppy! WAIT!! I like puppies! :cool: NICE grips!!
 
nice 19! but them grips just dont look right on it, send them to bama and ill see how they look on mine! just picking at ya! two nice finds for sure!
 
Well i have always been an N Frame 44 Mag, 45 ACP S&W revolver kind of guy...

BUT there is something about a 2 1/2" S&W Mod 19.
I bought one strictly for snubnosed matches. I think I did get lucky as mine shoots as good to 25 yards as any custom PPC revolver I have ever shot.

It shoots magnums good to, I even carried it at work on some plainsclothes assignments [I carried a 1911 at the same time as well, but i prefer a revolver in "grappling" situations].

I actually bought it before I was LEO, and I used to shoot rabbits with it to feed the cats at the stable a friend kept his horse at.
We would go out there every evening after work to feed the horse.

I still have ringing in my left ear, from when I fired a S&W factory 110gr 357 Mag at a rabbit...

The cats would walk along side us while we hunted rabbits for them.
