Well it does speak well about the durability, and reliability, of Smith's. Get a 1911 covered in 35+ years of crud and see if it works.
This is -E-X-A-C-T-L-Y- why I carry wheelies. I KNOW they will work.

Here is my 19-2. Six inch barrel, diamond targets. Serial number in the K709xxx, so probably from 1966-1967. This is one of my first S&W Revolvers. Well used but well taken care of. Very accurate, my son keeps trying to borrow it. I got it for the very fair price of about $260 plus tax. I bought it the same day I bought the Texas DPS 28-2 for $250 plus tax from a different store. 2003 by the way.
Here is a detail of the left stock panel. A previous owner did some woodwork, I guess either for speedloader clearance, or maybe his thumb felt better this way. Fairly well done actually.

Also a newby to the 19's.
Mine is a 19-3---S/N is 9K89173---4 incher.
It has no turn lines in the cylinder and very little wearing of the blueing.
It does, however, seem to have mismatching grips--perhaps not the original. One has a gold medallion and the other side a silver.
I am lacking a good date--the Pawn shop I got it from says 1976. I think this may be incorrect but I would appreciate someone confirming.
Blessings

First you talk nice to her and show her some respect. Then you start to woo her. Maybe buy her some flowers and have them sent to her workplace. Buy her dinner some night.
All joking aside, the SCSW says the -2 change started in '82 and ended in '85. I'm sure someone will be along to narrow that down.

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!!
