I resurrect this thread from the dead because I just got a Model 19-3 for $400. It had some wear on the blueing, so I followed instructions for Birchwood-Casey goo and touched it up.
It was prone to some light strikes. However, the story I bought it from Dury's in San Antonio has a life time warantee on guns you get there and I brought it back. The smith found the springs had been altered and they replaced them.
Thus, it shoots just fine. Given the prices I've seen for 19s, it was a good buy. I bought it because one needs a 357 and for IDPA.
I feel this is absolutely necessary to make a new reply because if one cannot discuss a new gun, what can we do? Also, why start a new thread when there is already a 19 one on the books.
