This Model 19-3 is the Combat Magnum configuration on the K-frame, chambered in .357 Magnum with a six-round, fluted cylinder. It uses a double-action/single-action system and a full-size, square-butt grip frame for a traditional S&W service-profile feel.
The 6 inch tapered barrel is pinned and features a serrated rib, with a shrouded ejector rod for added protection. The topstrap and barrel rib are serrated to reduce glare. Construction is carbon steel with a high-polish blued finish, consistent with Smith & Wesson manufacture in the United States during the 1970s.
Controls are set up for confident handling, including a wide, serrated trigger and an exposed, wide checkered hammer spur. Both the trigger and hammer are color case-hardened, a hallmark detail on this era of S&W revolvers.
Sights are fully adjustable iron sights: a ramped, serrated, plain black front paired with an adjustable rear. Factory checkered hardwood target stocks with S&W medallions complete the package on the square-butt frame.
Serial in the 9K range aligns with 1977 K-frame production, placing this revolver firmly within the sought-after late-1970s Model 19-3 era.
