Need a little help with a model 19

[cpirtle]

Hey all, I had a few minutes left on my lunch break today so I stopped into my favorite lunch-time haunt to see if he had any new trades come in.

He pulled 2 smith's out of the back room, one of which I had him put on hold for me after jotting down a few quick notes because I had to get to a meeting.

I wrote down that it is a 19-7 and it has a 2.5" barrel. Not pinned, not recessed and of course a round butt. Tonight I am looking at trying to date the gun and the serial number I wrote down is BAA32xx.

I'm looking through my SCSW and am just not finding a rough DOB on this gun, so now I am questioning my note taking skills.

Any thoughts?

The other gun is a 6" 586 - roughly 90% condition in the box for $379.. thinking of snagging them both..

Grab the 586- good price and a great gun!
Regards,
Bob

Yep, believe it or not the "19" is $279 and it's 95% in the box..

Sometimes this place is just way off on their pricing. Which is why I stop about 4 times a week

First thought - Don't take a job as a court stenographer.

The DOB on a BAA gun is 1988. But 19-7s were a generation later, like '94 - they were the first with the rounded sight tang for the drill/tap feature.

So I am guessing it's not "BAA" or it's not 19-7, one of the two must be mistaken.

Either way, get it or let me call them!

$279!!!! If I didnt have the money I would still buy it and eat Ramen for a few weeks at that price.

 

[kanook]

get them both. been a long time since I came across a deal like that.

Buy them both and sell the one you don't like. You'll have a free gun left over.

Thanks all, I definitely wrote something down wrong. I work in IT so sometimes I forget how to veen use a pen

Or a keyboard, apparently.

Like they said...buy 'em both if you've got the cash.

Knowing how to spell went to the wayside at the same time as the eraser... where's the spell checker on this forum..??

I couldn't make it work, but discovered that my google bar has a spell-check that does.

Nice to know I'm not the only one who checks out gun shops on his lunch break.

FWIW, I'd buy the 19 in a heartbeat, probably both of them.
