You should get rid of that pos. I'll help you out - lol. Has potential for sure!

Here's my 19-3. Story goes that a previous owner kept it in his basement where it developed rust. He took it to a gunsmith to clean it up, and the immediately put it back in the basement. Gunsmith ended up with it, then sold it to me for peanuts. If it had a 4" or 6" barrel on it I'd be very inclined to ship it back to Smith to get it restored.

Here's my 1981 Ruger Security Six .357 2 3/4" with custom Pachmayrs.

Among my collection of "stuff" is a "Border Patrol" style duty holster originating from the days when the Model 19 w/4" bbl was standard sidearm of the Town of Clarkstown (NY) PD. It was given to me by CPD SGT. Bowen more tahn a decade ago. Occasionally I use it for my M10 or M67. Some day I should get a Model 19 to fill it out correctly.

Holster was designed by Bill Jordan, a great duty rig.

As long as were sharing photos I’ll throw one up of my 19–3 six inch nickel. It’s my first and only completed gunbroker purchase. I couldn’t be happier with it and it makes a great companion to my 4 inch 19-3 blued.
As far as the new production guns go, there’s no reason to think it won’t be a great revolver. If nothing used is coming your way I would definitely go with it.

Man that's a real beauty and makes me want to start searching gun broker for another wheel gun I don't need.

Hodgie, Be careful they're addicting!

My first center fire firearm of any sort was a 19-3 that I bought used from the guy who first trained me to use revolvers. It still had the deep bluing, the trigger was (and still is) sweet, it still resides beside my bed on the nightstand, and still goes with me to the range from time to time.

Yes it is! Though I do not know who the actual maker of this holster was. BTW The K-frame .357 Magnum was (according to legend) built by S&W on the recommendation of Bill Jordan.

Nice piece.I remember carry my 19 snub in a shoulder rig and when running to catch a perp my shoulder still aches. How about selling something once in awhile besides your Motorcycle that I could not get ?
