The Model 19-4 is a classic K-frame .357 Magnum configured here with a 4-inch barrel and square-butt grip frame. It uses a six-shot fluted cylinder and a double-action/single-action system with an exposed spurred hammer, pairing fast operation with precise single-action control.
Barrel and sighting details include a pinned barrel with a full-length rib and ejector-rod shroud, an adjustable rear sight, and a ramped, pinned front sight blade. This setup provides a clear, tunable sight picture well-suited to the Combat Magnum concept.
The revolver is built on a steel frame and cylinder with a bright nickel finish, complemented by case-hardened hammer and trigger. The checkered walnut target-style grips with S&W medallions, plus serrated backstrap and forestrap, add secure handling and a period-correct look.
As a 19-4 engineering-change model, it reflects the shift of the gas ring from the yoke to the cylinder. Made in the United States, this example retains hallmark Combat Magnum features and is accompanied by its factory box with matching end label and the original instruction manual.
