K frames are attractive, well balanced and great to shoot. At the same time a steady diet of full power 357 rounds will prematurely wear them out. They were the weapon of choice when the LEOs who were armed with them followed the "Practice with 38s, Carry 357s" mentality. Times have changed though and even if the move to autoloaders had not happenned it is now understood better that one should practice with what they carry. As a result the Model 19 would still have to be set aside....

If you want to shoot it primarily with 38s though and once and a while throw some 357s through it then it is certainly a great gun.
