The ultimate Model 19/66 Combat Magnum thread

[1 old 0311]

This has been one of my most favorite threads on this forum. But up until recently I haven't actually owned a Combat Magnum. Well that all changed with the pruchase of a very nice 19-3 w/ 2.5" barrel. It has a serial number of 6K292XX. Has gas ring on cylinder and came from factory with target hammer and target trigger. Now I just have to find a 66 2.5"!!

Hope you like!!

That is a GREAT beginning to the C.M. world.

My 1979 era 19-2

VERY nice piece.

Thanks, I just got it last week.


It's got some holster wear, but the crown, end-shake, timing,are all perfect, no flame cutting what so ever.
Mechanically, it's in wonderful shape.

Pinned and recessed

I gave her a mild tune-up and WOLFF spring kit. Like all K-frames, the gun shoots wonderfully

I've always bought L and N frames, but I have fond childhood memories of shooting a 4" K-frame with my Dad.

This is prefect for teaching my daughters to shoot, and will make a fine home defence gun for my Wife, as she's not confidant with my 1911's

I'm still dying for someone to pop up with a nickel 3" 19 and a 3" pinto 19... I know they are out there... Someone dig in the back and unearth that safe queen...

Shouldn't the 66 come in a blue box? Mine did.

Weather was beautiful, so I took some outside pictures of the 19-3 for better lighting. Lovin' this gun!!

I love this picture, but it looks like there is some frame damage at the edge where the barrel attaches. It is just a weird reflection!

Rescued

I know it's been altered, and that might be a sin, but you should have seen the before pictures.

Yes, it should. This is just a prop box used from my mdl 15-3 nickel 4". I don't have a box for the mdl 66. Just using it for a S&W touch.

That may be the finest smooth sided Hogue Monogrip I have ever seen. The new rear sight screams business.
