I had a similar gun path. A model 28-2 was my first S&W and my second was (and still is) a 2 1/2" 19-3 blued. The 28-2 was gone long ago, traded for a 4" 19 that also got traded long ago - for what, I don't remember now. Bought my snub 19 in February 1976. Yikes...42 years ago. I've always wanted a nickel 19 snub to go with it. So, if you need any transmission work, I'll be happy to buy it off of you!
Replaced another lost one from my youth - Model 19 snub, extra shiny

I remembered my 646 (L-frame RB .40 cal) came with two sets of grips. I usually leave the black rubbers ones on it, so I tried the fancy wood ones on this gun. They fit perfectly.
They feel good, too. I prefer the magna and T-grip set up, but until the right pair of RB magnas comes along, I think I'll stick with these. They don't add any bulk.
I have a stash of Federal +P+ 147 grain Hydra-Shoks. I tried some yesterday and they shot right to the point of aim at 50 feet, were easy to shoot, and the empties slid right out without using the ejector rod.

It appears you paid about 50% of its value. At Cabelas?
I find it hard to pass up a 2.5" model 19 or model 66. Just plain cool revolvers and very good carry gun. Good find.
