Yet another S&W followed me home

[Mike1957]

This morning I went to the gun shop to get some primers.
Sitting on the counter was a lonely looking little Smith 19-6.
Some lout who didn`t appreciate it had just traded it off.
Always has a soft spot for stray cats and stray S&Ws, so I gave it a new home.

If this is too personal.....don't reply...but,

about how much did you pay for that beauty?

If you ever wanted to get a 19 reblued...would you send it to S&W, or someone else? Does Smith still produce that deep blue, or is it different now?

Thanks for sharing!

 

[oldfool]

you done the right thing, sir !
any 'orphan' like that deserves a good home

Gave $350 out the door for it.
Don`t know the quality of S&W`s refinishing these days.
Over the years I`ve only had two guns refinished, and they were both done locally.

Great find and you sir are a real humanitarian. I would have done the same thing were I in your shoes.

There is just something special about a K frame... even with that cute little pug nose. Can't put my finger on it but they just seem so right.

I'm all for adopting orphans. This was a good adoption!!

 

[icanthitabarn]

Very nice all around. Poor thing would probably be lonely and constantly ignored by most modern gunowners and their tastes.

I've seen model 19s offered—and bought—for quite a bit more than that.

Now.... ditch the rubber grips and get WOOD.

If you want rubber or plastic get Glock.

But shoot 'en irons like that S&W need wood!

It has a little holster wear that doesn`t show much in the pics. Considering the condition $350 is a fair price.

It will be wearing wood in the not too distant future.

It'll sure shoot good with that Hogue, though.

Not bad tat tall.

I dunno man, in my area 2.5" 19s go for $500 and up, even with holster wear and sans P&R.

I adopted a Model 19 as well, a -2 to be exact with a 4" barrel and some nice holster wear that give it character. Paid $450, which is a decent buy in my local area where 4" 19s go for $450 to $525 (6" go for low $400s, and the 2.5" are usually $550).

It will be wearing wood in the not too distant future.

Mine already is, but it's those hugeormous S&W Target stocks that interfere with HKS speedloaders. That will be fixed with an order from Ahrends shortly.

A very nice find, and what a wonderful way to celebrate the spirit of Christmas, by the adoption of a helpless orphan .

Merry Christmas to all!

I've spent a lot more on a stray kitten! You got a deal, IMHO. Of course, as I tell folks, a good gun is worth what you pay for it - and that price is soon forgotten. A clunker's price is a sore reminder forever! Congrats - and...

Merry Christmas!

Good Mike! Cause mine do!

Secret Service stocks on both of these.

Mike, I'm glad that nice gun found a home where it'll be appreciated!
Congratulations.
When you get a chance, I'm sure some of us would like a range report!
