The ultimate Model 19/66 Combat Magnum thread

[lrb1200]

My 19-4 4 inch, with the price tag on the box, I'm the
original owner, been a 19 fan for a very long time.

 

[GerSan69]

New to me 19-3 and 66-3. Just added the Ahrends, really nice for the money. First two K-frame snubbies, there will be more.

Is it me, or is the set on your 19 shorter than the set on your 66?

 

[Shark Bait]

My only 19 and 66. A 19-3 from 1975 and a 66 no dash from 1972.

Hey Irb1200 was that Southwest Shooters in OKC? I used to shop there all the time before they closed down.

possible sacrilege......

Haven't seen any of these on here yet.......
I had this built by Jerry Purbaugh back in '79/'80. I carried it for several years as my duty weapon until transition to semi-auto pistols..........I still have the Hoyt breakfront holster I carried it in. I think it is the best of both worlds (Model 19 +Colt Python). Still the most reliable and accurate handgun I own. After uncountable thousands of rounds.

Some will disagree...............

Model 19, 4"

Here is one with nice stocks, which are probably original. It has a box, both S/N K 411904. This fits my hand nicely, so no re-stocking necessary. The case colors are lively.

That's a fine example of a great gun! A 4 inch K frame with target stocks looks perfectly balanced IMO

Very nice! Especially for a 55 year old gun! Those are some of the nicest diamond K targets I have seen, too.

Sweet gun and stocks,
The wide TT/TH combo without the RR insert has me wondering if the box is marked to indicate it shipped that way ?

Also does the rear site have a white outline ?

 

[Blind Boy]

The box is blue with minimal information on the side. Blue finish, Model 19, 4 inch, .357 Magnum. Nothing else. I don't have a letter, so it may not be original, but it looks it, for what ever that's worth. The sights are plain, no outline. Just beautiful blue and great stocks. The barrel isn't perfectly fitted, as the indexing is off just a small tick, but it shoots spot on for me.

Model 66 3" with DeSantis thumbreak holster

From ADCO's in Woburn, Mass, about 30 years ago

Still have the box and all the contents...

[WickedSharp]

Here's my 66-2!

[HTRDJYD]

Question about early 4 inch Model 66 No Dash's. While I understand that the target stocks are standard issue, would the various police departments that were issuing this revolver likely request them in Magna stocks? And if so, would the inside of the grips be marked with the serial #? The reason I ask is, I have just recently bought such a revolver (hasn't arrived yet) wearing Magna's that may be original to it. I know I can put in a request to S&W for info, but really don't want to lay out $50 unless it looks promising. Thanks.

Don

my model 19-4

1960 model 19 no dash. I do enjoy shooting this one too. A box of 158gr magnums every once in a while satisfies the need.
