Picked up this little sweetheart 19-2 for my wife for our 30th wedding anniversary

Just for fun, here's this one:



It's a 19-3 I was able to talk a forum member out of through the 'Wanted to Buy' section. Not at all a screamin' deal but I had to have it and I'm happy I paid what I did. It came to me with correct type magna grips but after I tried the Kim Ahrends cocobolo retro combats there was no turning back.This one is a family favorite.

Model 19's are funny things with me. They sort of come and go for no real reason that I can think of, but it seems I always have one.

This one, a 4", -4 is the latest. Just a "shooter." Nothing special really. It does have a really nice trigger.

Combat Magnums

Here's a couple of 66-1s and a couple of 19-4s. The 2 1/2 Model 19-4 has a target hammer and trigger. Forgive the oil smudges.

Despite some pitting in the barrel from the previous owner who didn't take care of this old girl, she's still a shooter. Picked up this Model 19-3 a couple of months ago and it's revived my love of shooting the .357/.38 cartridge.

19-4

I just recently came into this 19-4, serial 42K7***. Supposedly it was an issued piece at the PD I work for and was sold off when they transitioned to something else. This is definitely something I plan on confirming with a letter one of these days. I'm about the 4th owner since that happened. It has the holster wear and the dinged right corner of the rear sight that is indicative of a carry gun for sure. It had smooth Arhends grips on it when I got it, which I changed out for this set of Davis grips I had laying around because I've been using it for the service revolver match in PPC. It'll sure chew the X's out of a B27 at 25 yards! Can anyone give me a date based on the s/n?

New to me 19-5 nickle. I sliced off a section of my safety glasses earpiece to file and place in for the missing red ramp. Some blemishes where prior owner toted rubber grips.
A BK grip adapter and generic grips closely mimics my 19 I carred in the 70's as a long haired VCO detective.

I posted a few months ago about my new-to-me Model 66-4, 2-1/2" barrel.

Last month, I acquired its blued sister, Model 19-5...

Happy, happy!

Some awesome revolvers in this thread, i'll add my 3 ..

This is my Model 19 No Dash .. Picked up at a LGS .. dates to 1959, my first 4 screw. Was happy to add it to my collection, she shoots awesome. Also has the target hammer. Thinking about getting a letter on her.



This is my 66-1 .. I picked up from a fellow forum member and good friend that I met who lives close and we shoot the breeze and help each other out when we come across something .. it came with orig box, tools, paper work and is in mint condition, a keeper for sure.



Last is my 19-4 in 2.5" .. She is a shooter and has been shot and loved. Enjoy shooting her and tossed on a nice set of combats. she cleans up nice.

I just got it late yesterday. Thanks again Mike. Its great. I had to take the stags off as I personally think Diamond Targets look better. Here is the old gal the way I like her dressed.

19-3 TT, TH, W/O rear sight

19-3 Nickel. I picked this one up from a fellow forum member. I had to put diamonds on this one too. I know I know -3's should not have diamond grips. But try and take diamonds away from a girl after you put them on her. This one has been worked on by the performance center. The action is slick as owl bleep!

Pre 19 nickle combat magnum

Best for last. Last one for awhile. I posted on this about a month ago. I had it paired with my other Pre 19 Combat Magnum. Guys I lucked into this one on a auction. It was dirty as all get outs. It took some scrubbing and renaissance wax but it came out beautifully.
I had it pictured with my other Pre 19 Combat Magnum so I thought I would post some pictures of it by itself. I hope you enjoy them. I am very proud to own 2 of these.
Thanks for letting me share.
