Should I buy S&W Mod 19-4 for $295?

[depicts]

Just went to the local shop and saw a real clean S&W Mod 19-4, blued, .357 Mag with pined barrel and recessed cylinder with a tiny bit of holster wear on the bluing at the tip of the barrel. Bore looked excellent and the gun felt tight except for a little play in the fixed firing pin. The gun had pachmyer grips, but the shop had no history of the gun?? I think it was a 5" barrel, but it may have been a 4", shoulda paid more attention. Looked a little shorter than my 6' K22 Masterpiece

What do you think friends, should I buy it today for $295?

I would.

There will not be anymore 19's.

For a p/r gun that sounds like a good deal. I would buy it.

I passed on an older 586 the other day and am still kicking myself.

Decent price for an excellent revolver. Don't worry about the firing pin as that's normal (it's suppose to float). The barrel is most likely a 4 incher, but many have been modified.

A model 19 is the next gun on my list to buy and if I found a really clean one at $295 would snap it up.

A Model 19 pinned and recessed, in the condition you describe would be at least &325 here, and wouldn't last a week in the shop. Buy it while you still can. One of the best carry/defence revolvers ever made.

Bought it, but dang it....!!!

Well thanks for the input guys, I went back and bought the Mod 19, and it is really clean.

The only problem was when I got there, they had just taken a .22 caliber Mod 34-1, nickle or hard chrome finish, adjustable sights (kit gun) and that too was going for about $300. So I bought that too (It feels so good in my hand, and I always wanted one)

So I didn't save a lot of money, but I have a big smile on my face

Yes, I bet a BIG smile! Very nice, indeed. Pics???
Congrats on your purchases. A model 19 for that price would be a steal from what I have seen around here.....that is IF and when you can even find one.

I have a 686, 586, and a model 19, i ain't getting rid of any of them and if i ever see another 19 I am gonna pick it up too. The 19 of mine is by far the sweetest revolver I have ever shot! i love it!
