What’s Included
- Smith & Wesson Model 19-3 .357 Magnum revolver
The 6-inch heavy, ribbed barrel is pinned and paired with an integral ejector-rod shroud and partial underlug, giving this 19-3 the classic Combat Magnum profile. The front sight is a pinned, serrated Baughman-style ramp, matched to an S&W micrometer-adjustable square-notch rear sight for precise elevation and windage control.
This revolver is built on the K-frame in blued steel with an exposed hammer and a smooth double-action/single-action system. The hammer and trigger show color-casehardening, a hallmark detail of this period.
The cylinder is a fluted, six-shot design chambered in .357 Magnum. Target-style, checkered hardwood stocks with S&W medallions and a square-butt frame provide a traditional grip profile associated with the Model 19 line.
Produced during the 19-3 engineering-change period (1967–1977), this example represents the pinned-barrel era configuration. Its combination of features and condition makes it a strong choice for collectors and enthusiasts of classic S&W Combat Magnums from the 1970s.
