    A guy at the Puyallup gun show in the '90s showed me his NIB 2.5" fixed sight M19 one time. No, he wouldn't let me touch it. Said it was his retirement fund.

    Bruce, Nicely done article. Rationale for the 2.5" barrel was to enable fitting the full-length ejector rod. The 3-inch barrel on the .357 Model 13 was needed to produce acceptable ballistic uniformity with .357 and it also improved performance with the X38SPD .357578 Special lead HP.

    Expect you may have known SA William F. Vanderpool as he was an Academy instructor at Quantico when you were there. I worked with him on several ammunition projects when I worked in the firearms industry and he was a neighbor when I lived in Burke, VA and worked at the Marine Corps Development Center.
