Smith and Wesson M-19-3, 6"

[jpfowebman]

The Model 19 has for a long time been quite a classic 38/357 and is built on the ''K'' frame. It will handle full magnum loads capably but I consider a sustained diet of those will over time tend to loosen it beyond what seems fair.

This ''dash 3'' is still showing the classic pinned and recessed construction, whereby the chamber mouths are counter-bored to accept the case rim - and the barrel is pinned into the frame.
