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.
