beautiful

[floridafyme]

I keep all my guns in Sackups.

[unit399]

Would this be a 19-5 ?

[legonaluta]

Beautiful 

[thebakerman1]

Absolutely *beautiful* revolver. These old S&W's are my favorite revolvers of all time. I've owned a few model 19's over the years when I used to have an FFL and they were always fast selling revolvers with ultra-high quality. I dislike the current S&W's with the internal locking mechanism, as well as the overall design they went to today. I'll take the older design any day.

I still have a model 66 with a 2.5" bbl, which is simply a model 19 in stainless steel. Excellent firearm :)

[rickey5353]

I carried one of these in the mid 70's. One of the finest revolvers I ever owned.

[DuPageAngler]

Excellent video. I own one of these and I too shoot better with it than any other.

[doctor345678]

I'm gettin' too old for this shit.

[hcronos]

Just curious why is it a blue finish when it's clearly black?

[mtyemti]

@hcronos It is actually a midnight blue color. It just looks black in the video.

[faffaflunkie]

Those guns had beautiful finishes.

[AnimatedFreak101]

Where did you get this?? I heard they stopped making them.

[Giorgos60726072]

you have a very beautiful revolver

[Thanos56]

How can i get it? Just for safety....

[floridafyme]

That revolver is beautiful, the blueing. I keep ALL my guns in Sackups too.

[mrstockskeptic]

I have the same exact gun, bought it in 1983, love it. Think I paid a couple hundred bucks back then.

[jimmy51911]

i shot this and the recoil isnt bad at all smooth accurate a little heavy though for one hand

[Gmissile]

This is no BS.

With my previously mentioned M19 w/4" bbl., at the old Daytona public range in '77, I put 4 out of 6 on a paper plate at 100 yards.

No bags, 2 handed hold, forearms on bench,stock target sights.

Waaaah, Piss, Moan, Sniffle...

I miss it and want to get another.

Donations much appreciated.

Thanks a Bunch.

[Gmissile]

I had that same model ,only Pre-Brit with the pinned barrel and the High Gloss deep blue finish with slightly different wood grips.

I kick myself in the ass at least once a year for selling it.

S&W ought to bring that spec. back in their Classic series.

They'd only sell about a gazillion of them.

[GothChristianPatriot]

My fiance had a nice ported M19 that was a dash 3 model. She named it Dante due to the inferno of a muzzle blast that came out of the ports.

[pokefreak001]

this gun is quite underrated for its major load of ass kicking.

[Cman524]

How much would an eight inch barrel version of this be?

[MrJayson1464]

@controversyking Yes they can. I know a guy who is a FFL licensed gun dealer

And I had him ship it to S&W. I could have had it shipped to S&W from my house and back to my house but didn't want any problems with shipping in case I wasn't home. Not a box you want left on your door step. Yes there are ways to do it yourself.

[Montna8ive]

The model 19 was once the standard sidearm for most law enforcement agencies. I have one as well as the model 586 and 66. S&W always made good guns.

MPIETRO 3000 your question about the gun getting old, well if you take care of it it will last you a life time even more plus the resale vaule on good used S&W guns are good if you go to the right dealer. Get yourself the gun bible that can help you get the right price for any kind of gun you want. I hope this helped you.

[mpietro3000]

Hi,

I am about to buy a Model 19, what do I have to worry about, once it is an old gun? Any help will be welcomed.

Thanks

[Montna8ive]

@mpietro3000 I just posted something for you about your question look for montna8ive

[SirTim123]

It's murtaughs gun in lethal weapon!

[Kibblesforme123]

It looks like the revolver in cod zombies

[danielnordeen]

I had a Mossberg shotgun and went shootin with my girl in the 90's she had this gun. I hit the beer cans ever time from 50 feet and it was as loud as me shotgun. It is very powerful and accurate in my opinion. Revolvers are very accurate.

[cwolaxer50]

this is a vary nice gun thanks for taking the time to make this video. i do have a some questions though is that a 4" barrel and how much wold a revolver like this run me

[MrJayson1464]

@cwolaxer50 I got this used for about $350. Sent it to SW they re-blued it and cleaned it for $250. 

[davidsquall351]

Beautiful revolver.

[CitizenJohnSmith]

this is the handgun I want to purchase first when I'm old enough to learn revolvers.

[62rome]

awsome firearm..

[drumONdrugs23]

i would absolutely LOVE to have this gun.

[DeepDarkSamurai]

dear santa.......

[aj45colt]

beautiful gun.. i recently got into revolvers...and purchased a smith 629 w/a 5" barrel ... smith and wesson really knows how to make revolvers... especially those older models... very nice....

[8985258]

the US people are very lucky, because they easily got guns.

[mayito714]

I bought mine in 1979. Have kept it in a handle type pistol case lined with fleece or some other cotton type breathable material. Keep it well oiled or spray occasionally with WD-40 type lubricant and rust will not be an issue even if you live on the ocean...

[Cuajinice]

Beautiful classic!

[jasonsg4111]

Beautiful Revolver. Gotta love S & W Revolvers.....best of the best!

[snarlingrabiddog5150]

Beautiful piece. I have the 2 1/2 inch barrel version on here. I love the lines of this model the best. Gloves are a smart move.....don't let anyone tease you, lol. Thanks for showing these guns. Really nice to see!

[MrJayson1464]

@snarlingrabiddog5150 Thanks.

[TheBassGuitarist1]

@MrJayson1464 when you oil it do you ever take the grips off to oil the metal underneath

[MrJayson1464]

@TheBassGuitarist1 Yes. I use some type of lubricate that is better than oil and more of a paste and doesn't damage the wood. I'm all out of it and don't remember the name. But I do still oil underneath. When I first got it there was rust underneath the grips. Sweat from your hands and oils from your hands still make there way under. I only use the gloves while I clean it and store it away. I don't use gloves when I shoot it.

[TheBassGuitarist1]

@MrJayson1464 ok thank you sir and if you ever remember the name dont hesitate to tell me

[TheBassGuitarist1]

@MrJayson1464 would it happen to be cosmoline the pastey stuff your out of ?????

[AJSensei]

I swear that looks like a pistol I sold. Man I miss that gun.

[IhanNormal]

S&W M19 4", with same K -frame as M17 .22 Masterpiece. How small the score is, depents the shooter's qualificiations. These models of K- frame guns are suitable for serious game shooting.

[M14Mann]

The older S&W are works of art. I whish they still made them like this.

[KERCKHOVE123]

i love your gun man!!!

[theWHIPLASH]

 man thats nice

[MOJONIXION]

sweet

[Wabaanimkii]

Beautiful handgun: I much prefer the older versions over the newer ones. I like the way the shell ejector shroud doesn't cover the entire barrel like it does on the new ones. I hope I can find one of those in 3 years.

[MrJayson1464]

This video now appears on a iPhone app called Modern Weapons Pistols which is currently FREE to download from the App Store.

[indiana183]

Can you tell me how heavy in grams that gun is please?

[MrJayson1464]

@indiana183 It's 36 oz or 1064.64706875 grams

[italianppf2]

i have the model 13 and it looks just like your gun, amazing gun very smooth

[Pentagon1311]

Beautiful gun

[marvintheboon]

any thoughts on the cold blue, I see larry potterfield use it in his vids. I have a small bottle of g-96 liquid blue. I only have a 1/4 in of wear on the end of the barrel from the holster wear. I dont want to discolor the pistol. It looks great the way it is.

[MrJayson1464]

@marvintheboon Some marks give it character. Probably wouldn't chance the bluing not matching.

[marvintheboon]

@MrJayson1464 I probably wont. was thinking about the hogue grips, need to get those beautiful wood grips off first.

[LMNRJN25]

@marvintheboon The holster will wear off the re-blue, its just a beauty mark on a well loved gun.The holstering of the gun will keep the rust off. I have guns with the same wear that are 25 years old and look great.

[marvintheboon]

how much effort did you have to put into prying the grips apart. I am afraid of messing my perfect grips up. I took the screw out and didn't go any further. I tapped it on my palm, but im not going to shove a srewdriver between the grips.

[MrJayson1464]

@marvintheboon Shouldnt take much effort at all. I mean they maybe tight but I usually can get it apart with just my fingers or finger nails. If I can I'll see if I can do a video and see how hard it really is.

[marvintheboon]

@MrJayson1464 you know, two months later, I see I never let you know what happened with the grips on my model 19. the grips just popped off when I pulled a little harder. I just didn't want to pull too hard until I knew there wasn't something else holding them together. I put the hogue grips on with no incidents. The gun looks beautiful. I just put up a vid last night with my 8 handguns for 2010, and it is near the end of the vid, if you want to see it.

[MrJayson1464]

@marvintheboon Sorry been swamped. Work babies and no money coming in. Had to sell a bunch of guns, excluding this one. Sucks. That's what women and kids can do to this hobby.

[44magnum100]

INHERITED ONE FROM MY GRANDPA

BY THE WAY IF YOU DONT WANT RUST ON IT YOU COULD GET A RAG AND SPRAY SOME WD 40 ON IT AND IT WOULDNT RUST

[MrJayson1464]

@44magnum100 So far so good. Have only had one problem with rust on one gun out of 23 hand guns. I sold that one. Was just a rust magnet.

[marvintheboon]

@44magnum100 I urge you to do something to inhibit the rust, but I suggest rem-oil, the wd-40 will eat up the grips, the rem-oil is a little more wood friendly.

[44magnum100]

@marvintheboon I GOT PACMIRE GRIPS ON IT BUT I GOT THE ORIGINAL GRIPS TOO

[Slic3R1]

it's just stunning

and the grips are beautiful 

[CrazyWoody1989]

I have one just like that, that my dad bought new, I need to get it re blued but other than that it's great, my favorite thing about it is it has hardly any recoil, even with real hot .357 magnum rounds. I love it!

[georyans]

how long was the gun at smith and wesson?

[MrJayson1464]

@georyans Under 2 weeks I believe.

[MOJONIXION]

How much does it cost to have S&W re-blue you gun?

[MrJayson1464]

@MOJONIXION If I remember correctly at the time $235

[guitarbum722]

Awesome!

[calebdude99]

thats one of the best guns you can carry

[Halvorson]

i have a 19-3 my grandpa bought brand new, he only shot it once. So its in like-new condition, and it is very accurate and easy to shoot! what 19-x is this one, or it it thee original?

[gibson0steve]

I have a 19-5 blued in a 6-in barrell with the target packae i love it , it has a great trigger

[masiina1984]

I love that gun! I am so pissed off because I sell it away.

[camaro76]

Wow, that is EXACTLY my gun! I love shooting this thing, he's right it is accurate as hell!

[bill13442]

Beautiful I have one.I am getting another.5*s Excellent bluing job.

[BuyMoreFirearms]

I'm glad to see S&W does nice work and little to no loss of detail during the blueing process that I can see. The S&W logo still looks great. Enjoy!

[HiCapacity]

Oh what a gorgeous revolver. Have ANY issues at all with this thing?

[MrJayson1464]

No problems at all. Since a you can shoot .38 specail in a .357 it's nice to have that option. But if you have a .38 you can't shoot 357 in it.

[tsblair95]

@MrJayson1464 is it because the .357 is longer?

[MrJayson1464]

@tsblair95 Yes.

[apapastrat]

Ah I"m so jealous of you. The day I turn 21 I'm getting my permit. Talking to an old shooter he said in the 1980's his son got a concealed carry permit at 16. Again I"m jealous.

[zboyco]

nice grips. classic model right there
