This no-dash Model 19 is a classic six-shot, fluted-cylinder Combat Magnum built on the K-frame with a square-butt grip frame. The revolver features a 4-inch carbon-steel barrel and a high-polish blued finish, paired with a serrated, anti-glare topstrap and barrel rib for a purpose-built duty profile from this era.
The sighting system is period-correct and practical: a Baughman-style serrated ramp front sight and an S&W micrometer-adjustable square-notch rear sight. These provide a precise sight picture suitable for .357 Magnum duty loads or .38 Special practice ammunition.
Key mechanical details include a pinned barrel and a shrouded ejector rod, along with a double-action/single-action operating system. The color case-hardened hammer has a wide, checkered spur for confident cocking, and the smooth-face, color case-hardened trigger complements controlled double-action work.
Factory-style checkered wood diamond Magna stocks with silver S&W medallions are fitted, enhancing both grip and the period look. Rollmarks and proofs include the S&W crest on the sideplate, "MADE IN U.S.A. MARCAS REGISTRADAS SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD, MASS.", "SMITH & WESSON" on the left side of the barrel, and "S.&W. .357 MAGNUM" on the right. The yoke cut is stamped "MOD-19," and the K-prefix serial indicates K-frame production consistent with 1960 manufacture.
