The Model 19-5 is part of Smith & Wesson's Combat Magnum series, built on the versatile K-frame and chambered in .357 Magnum with a 6-round cylinder. This example pairs a blued carbon-steel frame and cylinder with a double-action/single-action operating system for traditional revolver handling.
Target-focused features include a wide, serrated target trigger and an exposed hammer with a checkered spur, along with checkered hardwood target stocks that carry S&W medallions. The topstrap and barrel rib are serrated to cut glare, complementing the micrometer-adjustable rear sight and a fixed front sight.
The barrel is non-pinned on this 19-5, and the under-barrel ejector-rod shroud provides added protection and balance. The yoke/crane cut is marked "MOD. 19-5," and the S&W "Trade Mark" logo appears on the left side of the frame below the cylinder latch, consistent with factory presentation of the era.
Manufactured in 1983, this revolver reflects the 1980s production period for the Combat Magnum line. Its feature set and markings align with the series, offering a clean, straightforward configuration that highlights the K-frame .357 platform.
