The Return Of The S&W Model 19

I really like the classic 4" with a partial underlug. Just quite simply the Maeserati of double action revolvers.

One of my biggest regrets in my gun hobby was trading my 1980 Model 19. I still miss it.

Cool to see it comr back.

If there is a better-looking revolver than a 4" blued Smith Model 19, I haven't seen it yet. Carried its stainless brother (Model 66) as my service revolver back in the 1970's and liked that a lot, too, but the blued Model 19 just hits all the right points as far as 'great-looking' revolvers go. Knew a cop from another department who had a Model 19 that had the best trigger of any Smith revolver I ever shot. Tried many times to buy it from him but he was not about to part with it...and I don't blame him.

Had a 6" Colt Python that was pretty close for looks in my opinion but I would have preferred a 4" one.

I'd have one of these new 19's ASAP if I had not just bought a 686 recently.

I haven't bought a new firearm in a couple of years now. Being a recovering Smith&Wesson snob, I'd love to have one of the Model 19 Classics. Time to start saving up my allowance, and maybe ask for a raise!

I've seen that somewhere before

Is the one on tap a 3" model? Damn, if so, I gotta have one!

I guess nobody likes 6" barrels anymore....*sigh*....

The thing that bothers me the most (visually) is the change in the contour of the frame @ the hammer. Don't care much for the lock either, but it's the frame shape that I spot first.

I'd like one in 4.25"! And I am so glad to see they are not stainless for a change! I'll keep an eye out for them around here.
