Smith & Wesson Model 19-5 Combat Magnum .357 Mag, 2.5 in, Bright Nickel, K-Frame, 6-Shot DA/SA Revolver
This Smith & Wesson Model 19-5 Combat Magnum pairs the classic K-frame, round-butt profile with a bright nickel finish and a 2.5 in barrel. It is the -5 engineering change, identifiable by its non-recessed chambers and lack of a barrel pin. Adjustable sights, checkered walnut stocks with S&W medallions, and a six-shot .357 Magnum cylinder that also accepts .38 Special ammunition make this a capable and collectible short-barreled revolver.

The 2.5 in barrel and round-butt K-frame give this Combat Magnum a compact, balanced profile suited to its DA/SA operation and exposed hammer. The six-shot cylinder is chambered in .357 Magnum and also accepts .38 Special ammunition, providing flexibility in load selection.
Construction is bright nickel-plated carbon steel throughout the frame, cylinder, and barrel, complemented by a matte black S&W adjustable rear sight. The -5 engineering update is present, with non-recessed chambers and no barrel pin.
The barrel features a shrouded ejector rod and short underlug, with longitudinal serrations on the rib and topstrap to reduce glare. Sights are set up with a serrated ramp front carrying a red/orange insert, paired to the S&W adjustable square-notch rear assembly for precise alignment.
Controls and small parts are thoughtfully executed: the hammer has a checkered spur, the cylinder-release latch is checkered for positive actuation, and the ejector-rod tip is knurled. The revolver wears checkered walnut stocks with S&W medallions, augmented by a black front-strap grip adapter for added purchase.
