Going price for S&W Mod. 19

[Morgan]

What's the going price for a 19 in excellent condition?

I found a very nice 4" today, tight as a bank vault, and I'm tempted. The price seems high at $380 if I recall correctly, but I think I can talk him down.

I've already got a 6" I don't need, and it needs some company now that it's twin has gone to my Dad.

$380 in my area would mean pinned & recessed NIB

$250 is about right for, say, 95% not P&R

Price is way high, even for Northern Virginia where prices tend to run quite a bit above the rest of the country, California excepted.

Thanks, guys. If he won't go down I'll wait for another.

Make him an offer all he can do is say no or Yes.

Seems pretty high even for the East coast. Quantrill

Gunshop over in Bluffton , IN has a 19 with pinned barrel and recessed cylinder for $319. Looks to be in very good shape. I agree that $380 is too high.

Morgan, I've never seen 19s out here for the prices everyone else seems to pay. Wish I did. I don't know if I've ever seen one for less than $350. You can usually do OK on N-frames but that's about it.

Gunworks in Wheatridge occasionally has interesting used S&Ws, but rarely 19s.

Prices are off the scale here in WI too. I haven't seen any recently for under $400, except for that one I saw at the last gunshow that I wouldn't fire on a bet, and he wanted $275

I just paid $419 for a 2 1/2" 66 that came with the box. I wouldn't have paid that much for it, but it's had a very nice action job that I figured is worth a few extra bucks. There nice guns, I wouldn't mind a 4" 19, but I haven't seen any in the area for awhile.

Prices seem to be high around here. They vary by area. $380.00, in excellent condition, would be a fair price.

Local gunshop had two. Blued for $250 and nickeled for $350.

 

[Kahr carrier]

Saw a Nickled one in the Prk for $335.00 it went fast.

I just bought a 4" 19 in really good condition...PPT $275 w/ fees.

Greeting's All,

$380 is high for central DixieLand! $250-275 (topps)
is more like it. But, I guess it just depends on how bad one
wants that particular S&W model 19?

Only frame of reference I have is one in a local pawn shop. It's a PPC conversion. Nicely done, but still converted. Price is $300. Been there for a while. He'd probably take $225.
