I spotted a Model 19-5 at the LGS earlier this year, and Jr told me he wanted it. He gave me the cash, and I instantly regretted giving it to him. He’s going into Wuhan Cooties survivalist mode, so I was able to trade him a Ruger MKIII and 1,000 rounds or .22 LR for this great revolver! The lockup is great, and it’s bullseye accurate. The stock grips are a huge chunk of timber, and I can’t decide whether to swap them out yet. I knew he’d eventually crack, especially since he also bought a Model 686 Plus. I’m Giddy...lol!
EDIT: The poor photography doesn’t show the excellent condition of the bluing, but that’s always the case with me. It’s a square butt model.
