Barrel length?

I paid $550 for this one 2-3 years ago, in about 95% condition. I felt that price was fair, after shopping for one for awhile. The snubbies tend to go for more than the longer barrels, and you didn't mention the barrel length on the one you are considering. They are very nice revolvers.

It all depends on the condition, barrel length and options. IE; Target hammer, target trigger,white outline rear sight, red ramp front sight and the box and papers and tools. From the S/N, it was made in 1980.

I found a model 19-4 ser#75k3405. Condition is about 96% has a small wear mark on cylinder. They are asking 595.00 from a gun shop. I feel that's to high.
What do you think?
Thanks,

Original grips? I'm inclined to agree with "too high" for now.

If in condition as you described, buy it! It won't be there tomorrow.

That's not too high for Cali pricing. I wouldn't pay much more than that though.

depending on barrel length... that would be a desirable handgun for me. i like the K frame Model 19 and Model 66.

i don't know about the price; it seems close to on target to me. check Gunbroker for comparison pricing.

Thank you all for those great comments. I offered 510 and we settled on 540. It is a 2.5 barrel P&R original grips with some rubber grips thrown in.

Northern CA.. I just purchased a mod 19-3 for $550. yesterday. Now in 10day Dros.
I'ts prob about 90% 2.5 inch barrel. This is about as perfect a 357 that was ever made at least to me it is..
Cost to me is not a factor when it's a gun that is not on the list and not easily found in good condition.

Sounds like you made a GOOD deal! well done!


CONGATS ON YOUR PURCHASE!

I would say that is a very good price for that barrel length in that condition.

If its pinned and recessed then buy it NOW!

Nice. Put the rubbers on it & stash those original stocks in a safe place.

The turn line on the cylinder is normal & doesn't really detract much in value.

BTW...

I'll say you got a good deal for an early 19 snubbie. Pics please !!!

That's not an early 19. The SN dates to 1980 or so. The 19 debuted in 1955 when it was simply called the Combat Magnum.
