What’s Included
- Smith & Wesson Model 19-3 .357 Magnum revolver
The Model 19-3 is a classic S&W K-frame .357 Magnum, commonly known as the "Combat Magnum." This example features a 6 in heavy barrel and blued carbon-steel construction made in the USA, aligning with desirable 1970s production details.
The barrel is pinned and configured with a partial ejector-rod shroud and serrated rib for a purposeful, duty-style profile. Sights are the factory S&W micrometer-click adjustable rear paired with a Baughman-style ramped front sight.
It uses a double-action/single-action system with a smooth-face trigger and an exposed hammer sporting a wide, checkered spur. The six-shot fluted cylinder maintains the traditional K-frame balance in .357 Magnum.
The square-butt frame wears checkered walnut service Magna stocks with S&W medallions (non-diamond), consistent with period configuration. The yoke cut is marked "MOD. 19-3," and the revolver corresponds to the 1970s era of production.
