FS: S&W model 19-3, 357 mag, blued, with a 2 1/2" barrel. S/n is 8K80418. Gun has been shot but doesn't appear to be very much. Timing is spot one, lock up is tight, bore is good. Grips are in good shape, there is just a hint of bluing wear on the left side of the muzzle and ejector rod housing, more than likely from holster wear. Red ramp front sight, white outline rear sight, pinned barrel, recessed cylinder chambers. No box or papers.

Asking $725, shipped to your FFL.

First "I'll take it" email to me at bigbore45colt @ ptd.net (remove the space in front of and after the @) gets it. Payment by USPS Money Order or certified funds. I am going to list this on a few other places, to maximize exposure. If unsold after a few days, I may take it to auction.

Thanks for looking!

Matt

Thank goodness I already have one. All the best Matt, that's a good price and it should move quickly.

Some years ago when Maglites were the thing I took a notion for a two-cell c-size. Not to be had from the usual sources so I had a gunshop order one. Every few days I would stop by to see if it had come in, and about the second visit I found they had acquired a short M19 just like that one. Every dang time I went in that place to check on the flashlight, that thing would whisper to me from the used-gun counter, and nobody else would buy it to put it out of my sight. Sure enough, by the time the blasted flashlight showed up, I had to have the M19 to go with it.

That Maglite has long since been supplanted by smaller and more powerful lights, but the short M19 has acquired a set of stags and a custom Simply Rugged holster, and is still hanging around. If you don't have one, here's yer chance.

I am wearing a '72 vintage one currently, it goes with me a lot of places. It was a sheriff dept. piece in it's former life and I acquired it from the widow of the deputy to which it was issued a few years ago. It has some bluing wear, but runs perfect. They will certainly shoot if do your part and mine has taken some squirrels with head shots using 38 reloads to prove it. Whoever buys this will probably not be disappointed, they are a true classic.
