The ultimate Model 19/66 Combat Magnum thread

[66Park]

Added a few so time for a new group shot,

These 19's start to accumulate,

I'd say that's a major understatement. Beautiful collection!

I came across a 19-3, K9443xx, 4" blue with target grips only, no white outlines or inserts either. I kinda liked it so I'm takin' it home! I'll be adding pics later this week. My 19 needs to get cleaned up a bit to be seen with this esteemed group!

My 66-4:

I know, the Pachys are ugly, but they give great balance and shootability.

 

[Zebulon]

Those ugly Pachmayr Compac Presentaion Pro's are my all time Favorite K/L Framed RB Grips...Great 3 Incher too.....Please remember that when you replace them....Zebulon

I'm back with another:

Traded it off an FBI buddy who bought it new in 1978 and shot a possible with it. The grip adapter came from the little shop at the FBI Academy that used to sell them by the hundreds when new classes went through and were issued Model 10s and then Model 13s. He had it Magna-ported and did a first-rate action job on it himself. It a keeper.

No-dash Model 66, the PC magnas are what came on it new.

Been lurking on here for a long time and figured it was time to finally contribute.

On top is a 19-3, Serial 7K816XX, on bottom is a 19-6 I just picked up yesterday, ending a 13 year quest for a snub-nose M19. Serial BDE35XX

 

[flhr95]

Just aquired 66-4.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Followed me home, My new to me Model 19 2 1/2" to go with my 4"

 

[snw19_357]

One of my new favorites, a 4" RB 19-7.

4"-ers just seem to need target stocks.

Here's a couple of mine 19-3 Shipped to Ohio in 1973.

66-4 Lew Horton PC Sold to American Historical Foundation in 1994.

 

[peepaw]

My little 66-2 I picked up a few weeks ago.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I just got this nice nickel 19-4 yesterday.

 

[Barbarian Brewer]

Smith & Wesson 19-3 Combat Magnum

Here she is...fresh out of jail! Trigger pull is absolutely incredible. Lockup is tight, and the bore is bright. Not bad for 1970, I'd say!

 

[chief63]

A couple 66-1s

 

[RubEric]

Mod 19, 4 inch, No Dash; Mod 19-3, 6 inch

My 19's.

 

[Barbarian Brewer]

For some reason, this picture has nothing but 70's in it...
-1970 19-3
-1970's Bianchi leather belt (just picked this up at a gun show for $20...nice...)
-1970's Manta Mirage
-1970's S&W box

I took a new picture of my M19s/66-1s. I had an old picture on here and want to update it.

 

[Parker357]

Here are my contributions to the thread, a Model 19-7 and a Model 66-1-2. Both great shooters and they carry well also. The 19-7 now has Hogue Monos on it.

 

[blue70chevelle]

Twin P&R Model 19-4's

66-1, 19-3, 19-4's all P&R

 

[jsfricks]

My 19 No Dash from around 1959-

 

[inbowhunter713]

My 1971 19-3. Belonged to my grandfather. I have refinished the grips and done some polishing to the metal.

 

[Janitor]

My one and only, a 19-5

 

[Maximumbob54]

Beautiful, but throw on a good looking set of Ahrends or something and stop giving Hogue all that free ad time by blocking out the S&W logo!!!

 

[Maximumbob54]

New to me 66-2 6" with Ahrends moradillo Retro Targets:

Meh of a pic and I will be adding Arends cocobolo Retro Combats to this gun once I finish tweaking them a bit and then it will get a better glamor shot.

 

[1blindref]

This is a 66-2 that belonged to my Dad. He passed away suddenly 6 years ago and now it lives with me. I put this set of Grashorn stags on it since the gun is very special to me.

 

[29-1]

19-1

Here is a 19-1

Know what? I have honestly thought about replacing the grips but they are so damn comfortable, and I don't have to worry about scratching anything up. I do see your point though!

Cheers,
