Found at my LGS.
I hadn’t been to my LGS in a couple weeks. I browsed the display case and there it was. I resisted at first and browsed a while.
I went back and gave it another look, too good to pass up for the price. It is in really great condition. Everything is tight and there is hardly a turn line. I don’t think it has been shot a lot. The nickel is in really good condition. The grips have normal wear marks but not hurt.
The LGS guy and I figured it might be assembled near the end of the -3 run starting -4 run. It has a pinned barrel but no recessed cylinder.
It has been sitting a while because the cylinder doesn’t spin much after a quick twist of the ejector rod. Got it home, stripped it down and gave it a good cleaning and once over. The rear sight elevation was really stiff so it came off and got a good cleaning as well. It runs much smoother now.
I’m going to put a Hogue monogrip on for shooting. The wood stocks seem to punish my middle finger (trigger guard) with the wood even with cowboy loads and the stocks are a little fat for my hands as well.
Details:
DOB ~ 1980
No papers/tools but with a blue box that does not match the gun S/N
Nickel
Model 19-4
6 inch pinned bbl / no recessed cyl
Square butt
Narrow TH TT
