Very Curious

[The Preacher]

Don't want to stir anything up but looking at the For Sale thread got me more than a little curious. So...what is the difference between a fix sighted S&W Model 19-5 manufactured for export, and a run of the mill fix sighted S&W 13? I guess my real question is why would 'smith stamp it 19-5 rather than simply sell the Model 13 to its customers over seas.

They wanted a shrouded ejector rod?

Wasn't even thinking about that... That's probably it. Thanks.
