I just bought a S&W 19-5 at a gunshow. I really wanted a K-38 but I couldn't find one for a good price. I want to use it for 25 yard Bulls Eye shooting, will the M-19 do me right? I have heard great things about the K-38 but is the 19 often very accurate?
Mine has a 6" bbl, target trigger, target hammer, oversized grips, build in trigger stop, partridge front sight and a very nice DA/SA trigger. It looks very similar to a K-38 in all respects but it also shoots .357 mag which is nice. Will I be able to tell the differance in accuracy or is it likly going to be close to the level of a K-38?
I am shooting my Ruger Speed Six now and it has a 4" bbl with fixed sights and a good SA trigger but not as good as the S&W 19. I can do 1.75-2" groups when I do my part. Is the S&W 19 going to be a lot better?
The only reason I am asking is because I can't remember the S&W 19 being mentioned as being a tack driver. It seems like the one I have is set up for target work so it should be better than my Ruger.
