That is a nice looking 19 you got there Serious. The -4 is for me the pinnacle of the Combat Magnum as it has every upgrade and nothing taken away.
I started in 1970 with a 4 inch -3 and later a 6 inch and 2 1/2 inch. Sold all my revolvers at one point during my 1911 phase. Just recently got the revolver bug again and acquired a 4 inch blue -4, a 6 inch blue -4 and a 2 1/2 inch 66-1 which is the same as a -4 in stainless.
Never say never, but I will probably never own a MIM/lock S&W.
I feel that the K frame Magnum fear is over blown as I shot mass qty of full house magnum factory ammo and hot hand-loads out of my 4 inch -3 back in my former revolver life.
