Can Never Have Enough K Frames...!!!

[Snake Plisskin]

Found and picked up this nice Smith and Wesson 4" 19-4 online here in my area this am, No box or paperwork, hardly has been used.I love my K frames.

Nice! You and @Riomouse911 got the same bug.

I hear tell some Californians, Oregonians and Washingtonians want to join y'all Idahoans and secede from their commie-infested states? Think they'll bring their gun money with them?

 

[Riomouse911]

Another beautiful S&W Magnum for Snake. That is certainly a revolver that I wouldn’t have passed up either.

Again, very well done sir, very well indeed!

Stay safe.

Nice acquisition sir! I'm jealous. I've been looking for a nice Model 19 for a few years now!

 

[dickydalton]

Very nice. Here's my 19-3.

A few years ago I decided I had too many revolvers, mostly K Frames. I sold a couple of PPC Open Revolvers both on K Frames a Python and 1 K22! What showed up was an M18, 629, 625 and a M60! (Does an M18 qualify as a K- Frame...) 's

Math is hard!

Nice Model 19.

K-frames are the best. A Model 19 was my first K-frame and first 357 Magnum from back in the day.

I just wish S&W made more chambered in 32S&WL. I’d like to round out my K-frame collection but it takes a small fortune to buy a Model 16/K-32 revolver.

I guess I need to get one of the redesigned Model 19 or Model 66 K-frames in part to see if S&W really did fix the split forcing cone issue.

Mine doesn't have a 4" but we got lots of history. In 4" I prefer the old Colt .357 model , you know , Colts 50s Cadillac model before the Python. I got a super one of those also with Fuzzy Farrant Combat grips and the same tooled and floral carved matching holster . Both\ the original Colt Python framed Official Police series can take some k frame speed loaders sooooo

Yup, These aren't going right now:

They have to keep the other side of that double case balanced :

Man, that is one snappy looking sixshooter!

Very nice Model 19, Snake. I only have one K frame in .357...a Model 13, but I sure understand the appeal of them. Congrats! And be nice to that beautiful nickel finish.

Thank you to all, I replaced the photos with ones that looked better because it's blued not nickel I guess the photos made it look sort of not blued

I've lost count of how many times nicely blued revolvers come across as nickel in photos. Must be the lighting. Regardless, I like the finish...and the target grips, too.

Think that only happens to highly polished deep blued guns .

Colts and S&W’s in the same case!

They must fight like cats and dogs when you’re not around.

 

[Gordon]

I suspect they do

Actually they conspire to bankrupt their owners via ammunition usage.

I suspect they do

In the 90's I had a '66 Mustang and a '67 Corvette in the same garage.

I'd occasionally find signs of conflict. Or maybe it was just me banging into things.

 

[J-Bar]

This thread inspired me to take my 19-3 to the range today.

And I shot crappy. No pictures of today's targets. Me, not the gun. I will not embarrass the gun with my performance.

Perhaps there will be better days.

But a day shooting lousy groups is better than a day without shooting at all.

 

[Dframe]

I have the same problem, but with D frames.

 

[Boxhead]

My recently acquired first S&W 38 Special. A 15-3.

 

[Homerboy]

Beautiful gun! About 5 years ago, I wandered into my local shop and saw a pristine, like never fired looking 19-2 4” for $249! Matching diamond target stocks. I didn’t hesitate and it came home with me. I shot it 18 times and put it away. It was just so nice I didn’t want to mess it up. I sold it for triple what I paid. I don’t remember what I did with the money I made but I surely remember that revolver and miss it dearly. That would have been THE gun to pass down.

My first handgun was a 19-4. I was a senior in high school and under 21 so my dad did the paperwork for me. I still have it and still love it.

People loved to bash the Bangor Punta guns back then but they sure seem to love them today!
