When we had our shop in the 70s my dad wanted a 4" nickel round butt 19. He bought a 2 3/4 or 3, sent it to Smith to have a 4" barrel installed. His favorite gun up until he died whereupon my brother got it and when he passed I made sure his son got it. I got the blue 4" 19-3.
Great guns and almost as cool as the 15s.
