Sakohunter264 Campfire Tracker S Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 7,012 Likes: 2 Katy, Texas	Recently acquired a really cool 19-5 made in 1982. It belonged to a Houston Police officer who used it for 20 of his 43 year career. Purchased originally from Jim Peters, Texas Ranger company D. I sent it back to S&W last week for a look over and rebluing. The action and trigger were worked over in 1996, it’s simply a work of art. Last edited by Sakohunter264; 06/19/23.

If it checks out mechanically, that will be a great gun.

I hope you’re right but I wonder if S&W is capable of doing great bluing jobs these days? The new revolvers coming out of their factory don’t show that they are. I have a model 586 that’s only about 10-12 years old and I’m having it reblued.

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.
