S&W knowledge

The model 19 is the classic self defense .357 Magnum revolver. The dash 5 version eliminated the pinned cylinder and the recessed charging holes. Most owners feel it is best not to shoot the ultra hot 125Gr. loads in one.

Thanks for the information. I bought it strictly on impulse. I was sold on the near perfect appearance for the age and still having the original box, paperwork, and factory accessories. I don’t know if I’ll ever get around to shooting it. But it’s nice to know some of the history on this model. Thanks again
 
Your new gun is such a classic that S&W has reissued it, calling it Classic. You've found an excellent gun. :)

If you got all that for a decent price you have done well. But I would shoot it, that's what Smith and Wesson made it for, and you'll know the joy of shooting a classic American DA revolver. They don't make them like that anymore.
