Hi,
Long time no see. I have a question.
A few years ago I purchased a target model 19-4 in excellent shape for about 350 dollars. I have not have fired it for awhile. I would like to handgun hunt with a 357 mag load, preferable the BB 180 hard casts, as well as have more leeway for using more modern cartridges, which is a more remote secondary use. I would be carrying the K frame at the camp as well, off hunting season.
We're going to use the 180 hard casts in the lever gun as well.
Given the problem with the early K frames forcing cone with the hot modern loads, (which I have been educated as to why this occurs), would I be gaining anything by trading in the 19-4, or selling privately, for the newer k frame model 66? I understand that the 180 would probably be fine, if used on occasion, with the older K frames due to the length of the bullet.
My wife would say keep them both, but the 19 has been up until now, and will probably remain a safe queen if I keep it.
I hope that this makes sense….
Thanks for the input.
