Replace a 4" 13-2 with what if you had say up to $1200 to spend?*UPDATE FROM GUN SHOW

[Model19man]

I would be looking for a 2" Model 19-(something up to a 5)

 

[notsofast]

So my basic criteria;
357 magnum
6 shot
Adjustable rear sight
4" barrel
Really like K frame sizing

and you like blued guns……a 4" mdl 19

Hey OP,

Yep, I read the 357mag, but
I thought pretty might win over caliber.

Just as well, as it would be difficult to find a Diamondback for $1200.

For the money, the Security Six, is hard to beat. Tough as nails and can shoot hot 357mag all day long. It is a working man's gun. The S&W 19 and 66 are a gentleman's gun.
The Smith's double action DA smoothness is hard to beat.

Ruger's are somewhat easier to work on.

Colt Pythons may be a little large or heavy for you. I like their 3 5 7 model (that's read three five seven) and it is still reasonably priced. It came a couple of years before the Python.

What wonderful options await your decision (sweet agony). Hard to go wrong.

You're telling me. Saturday can't get here fast enough. LOL
I just hope there's as many wheelguns at this one as there were last time. and good prices to boot.

Not for a 357 though and what I will be doing with this pistol.

I'm reserving the 2" to hopefully find a nice model 15 in the future.

Update from gun show Saturday. The show was almost a bust. No 4" 19's to be found. A couple 6" but not what I was looking for.
No Security Six's at all.

I did come across this 66-2. Thought his price was a tad high and made an offer. He counter offered and the deal was done.

I will admit I'm not a huge SS fan but for what I want this pistol for I think it was the better choice.

Combat hammer/trigger. Grips seem to be original. Doesn't look like it's been shot much at all.

Last pic is with Pachmayr Gripper stocks. Not for looks but for function they're great.

Last of the pics.

A 4" Model 66 is a great revolver!

You done good! Enjoy your Model 66.
