Which would you choose?

Good choice. I would have taken the 19 also.

The model 19/66 snubbies are beautiful. and the 19 is even more valuable in excellent condition, which is what your obviously appears to be.

I've been wanting one of these, and I envy you! Great trade!

Model 19 snub every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I agree with the 19 all day long over the long tube 686. Snub 19's are doing nothing but jumping in value and it being a P/R model makes it even more desireable. Sure, a pre lock and pre MIM 686 is a great gun and I don't think anyone here is denying that. But in more people's minds it seem to hold true to the OP's choice that the 19 is just flat out more desireable.

And by the by, the way you are brow beating your partner if I were him you would be looking for a new partner. I don't openly mock my friend's choice in guns. We may all exchange in some back slapping friendly ribbing but you are really rubbing his face in this one. Just letting you know from a third party perspective.

Bob, Me and Plstu give each other a hard time and I am very fortunate to have such a true and honest friend. He is the kind of guy that goes out of his way to help anybody anytime he can. He doesn't keep score on how many favors he has done versus how many you have done I wish there were more people like him in my life. I appreciate your concern but he has my back 24/7 and has been a better friend than I could ask for!! As a friend i asked for his opinion and he gave me his honest opinion and not what i wanted to hear that is what a friend does!!

Hey Max, this man is not just a "shooting partner" he is a brother to me so you can share your "third party" opinion with someone who asked for it. Trust me, as uptight as you seem to be, You would nevver be MY partner. Now why not stick to the topic my brother posted about....... which is a better trade.

Tubby (The Reaper to me), you made the wrong trade!!!

Well, I hate to dig up a not so old post but I just HAVE to do it! You see, it is EASY giving advice to people you don't know but a real friend knows what you like and is HONEST with you. This was a really fun post because I like being the guy that goes against everyone..... and this was great until someone made it personal!

Hey Max, guess what BigTubby has for sale because he doesn't like shooting it! You see, as brothers we know what each other likes and Tubby has gotten more into shooting than fondeling, he just hates to admit it and can't quite break away from his old ways.
Beautiful gun he has for sale at a rock bottom price, I expect all of you to be fighting over this! He should have gone with the shooter, he wouldn't be selling that! Peace everyone and Merry Christmas.

I would have taken the Model 19 like you did!
