Smith and Wesson Model 19 .357 Magnum / .38 Special

[hammerogod]

Tried and true design.

A reliable handgun.

I am a S&W guy so I am prejudiced.

I do Ruger too but S&W has a gun for every need.

( I have a Blackhawk but don't shoot it much)

For pure pleasure and challenge I use an S&W 642...it was the hardest one to master, so I get an extra rewards and satisfaction from the 3in groups I can now consistently get at 15yds.

A 2 in barrel makes you work for the results.

@erykwelde Also Roger Murtaugh's

I had one of these - in 4 inch barrel length, with S&W Target Hammer and Trigger. I could shoot the sweat of a gnat's behind at 50 - count 'em - 50 yards. The trigger pull was polished and tuned to about two pounds on single action, with a squeeze like butter. Sigh. The only S&W .357s around now are clunky J-Frame pigs, and shooting them is like trying to hold a twenty pound dumbbell steady. I wish my Glock were half as easy to shoot accurately as my old Model 19....

Good shooting

How much did the reblue job run? I've got a 19-2 made around '65 I'd love to have redone. It's been a holster queen, but it has some smudges in the bluing.

[MrJayson1464]

@deussolinvictus Think it was $230-260 that was without shipping. Took about two weeks.

would be awesome to see u shooting the same gun and with jasons mask

I got mine in 1964. Wore off the first finish and had it reblued. Wore off the second finish so had it electrolis nickle plated (very dull gray finish). I carried it on two different police departments. It's saved my life 3 times. Once from a mountain lion wanting to make me a meal. Once from a bull wanting to stomp me and finally when a suspect made a left handed pass at me with a knife, the blade jammed in the grips. I was able to disarm & arrest him with only a little damage to him.

[apapastrat]

sweet your back! 1 question what is the range called you shoot at? My bro is a marine and used to be stationed at Mirimar and the range we went to look just like this one.

[MrJayson1464]

Lost all my video from my old sight. Things are tough now days. Sold a lot of guns. Still have some good ones. Plus a few new one here and there. Just not much time any more or money.

man your a good shot!!
