Another Addition to My S&W Family

I made a long delayed trip to my local gun store last week and low and behold, they had not one, but TWO used S&W revolvers. One was a nickle Model 28 4", but it was an aftermarket nickle job and was terrible! I eyed the other, a Model 19, and asked to examine it. She was pinned and recessed and in excellent shape. I went home and mulled it over.

After weighing the pros and cons, I discussed it with my better half and made it mine.

It's a 4" with beautiful target stocks, a serial number which shows it was made in 1970, 98% overall, easy. The double action pull was sweet, and the single action typical S&W.

I really love K frame S&W's. If I could just find one of these in the round butt, 2 1/2" barrel format (the next time I have some disposable cash)...ahhhh, heaven! :)

I own one (an M19 2.5") and I can tell you that I consider the common 3" fixed-sight heavy barrel K, whether 10, 13, 64, or 65, to be a much more practical gun. (No, I'm not interested in selling mine, though.)
Now, I've gotta keep my eye open for a Model 15 with a 4 inch barrel (did they make a round butt 2 1/2 inch M-15?).
I've learned never to say "they never made such a thing" about S&W, but I don't believe they ever regularly produced and cataloged a RB 2.5" M15. (They DID make such in the .357 M19, though.) Closest I know of was the SB 2" M15, which I personally consider the most useless gun they ever built (well, until some of their silly zooty stuff of the last decade, anyway). I know that others here have other opinions of the thing.

At the moment I own six Smith Ks: A matched pair of limited run 3" M66s, 2.5" and 4" M19s, and 4" and 6" M17 K-22s.
Nice wood! ;-)
