View Full Version : I got lucky at work.
I found a Smith and Wesson Model 19 with a 2.5" barrel in beautiful condition. It is a -3 with no holster wear and from what I was told it came to our store out of an old collection. This gun is beautiful. Been looking for a few years for one and at the right price. I am going to probably have a little work done up on it. Mainly a good cleaning on the inside. The plastic colored tab on the front sight is loose so I am going to fix that. I will also replace the old grips (not original) and who knows I may carry it a bit. Finding a good leather holster for OWB carry is a pain though. I may have to make a kydex one myself.
I would have the hammer bobbed and then use the Sparks HSR or keep hammer and use 200AW

Nice. I had one years ago and regret selling it.
Congratulations on the model 19 (2.5").
I use a 5shot Leather holster (and belt) combo for the carry. It is very concealable (conceals well under a suit coat), comfortable and beautiful.

The Milt Sparks PMK is very similar and designed for short barrel revolvers.
You can't go wrong with either of these.
You might look into Simply Rugged.
