Visited a little hole-in-the-wall pawn shop today and walked out with 2 decent new toys. Mod 19-3 6" Blue with Target Trigger and Hammer and what I think is the Original Grips. Real nice with a little holster wear to blue but no pitting or rust. Mod 36 No Dash Nickel with obviously aftermarket grips. Has a little wear and tear but I think most will polish out nicely. Not the steal of a lifetime but I think I did ok at $800 OTD. Will post more pictures after they get a good cleaning and polish.

$800 for both isn't a steal but it sure is far from a bad deal. Around here the pawn shop would have wanted $800 each. Yeah it is a high priced pawn shop but they seem to sell them. For how much they actually sell for I have no idea. I agree with the above in that you basically got the 36 free if not really cheap.

Good buy. Enjoy!!
You did real good on that deal.
As others have said, you did fine on the price.
I agree with you. Those target stocks probably came on that Combat Magnum. At the very least, they are period correct. Since S&W did not serialize them, you will never know for sure, but there is no reason to doubt it.

Good Job!!! I have NEVER found any good deals at a pawn shop. 19, is nice! I think that the 36 stocks are J Scott. Enjoy your new Smiths! Bob
Good OTD......... around here I'd guess the 6" 19 would go in the $550-625 range.

It pays to get to know the owner, I've gotten great deals on last 4 pistols at one of my pawn shops I frequent, in fact he calls me when he gets something I might be interested in.

03Hemi did just fine I think.
Photo of my 19-3 nickel and it came with the stocks you see in 1976. The stocks are not numbered on either panel.
I have this one listed at $800 for my insurance rider and I really don't believe it is that far off, so I too think the OP got a twofer.
