A fine early Christmas present to myself....
Took me a long time but wanted a very nice blued S&W Model 19 to add to my collection. All my other Smiths are stainless steel and this one is in a fine deep blue. Took some searching to find this at the price I wanted to pay and it was built in 1975-76 with the pinned barrel and recessed cylinder chambers.

Nice.
I have a couple of 19’s
One from my uncle in .357 and my Dad’s old service revolver in .38. Second from the top.

Firearms seems to be like Lay's Potato Chips: it is hard to have just one. Congratulations!

Very nice. I wouldn't mind adding a 2-1/2 inch model 19 to my collection. I've always liked revolvers.
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can't do anymore with regret, I just look forward to the things I still can.

It’s a 66-2. I got that one from my Dad too.
