I borrowed the "Drop Dead Gorgeous" description from Massad Ayoob some years ago when he posted a pic of a Dan Wesson Model 15-2, DA Revolver, exactly like one which I had just acquired on its 'looks' alone.) - Now I'm embarrassed having repeated something like that.

This S&W Model 19-3 I'm looking at, I found out has been in the shop since all last summer (They don't usually have many guns there.) The only S&W handgun I have ever owned is my 432-PD Airweight, 32 H&R Mag. I'm only aware of some various S&W frame sizes, otherwise I'm pretty much ignorant about S&W's. Also I'm retiring and gun money is now scarce. The shop owner is a really good guy and I'm going to do whatever I can to get this - Revolver.
