Description: A nickel-plated Model 19-3 with a 2.5-inch barrel remains one of the most desirable configurations in the entire Combat Magnum line. With its pinned barrel, recessed cylinder, and factory nickel finish, this revolver represents a scarce and highly collectible example of early K-frame craftsmanship. Condition and Mechanical Characteristics Overall condition is good, with the factory nickel plating showing fine surface scratches from normal handling and use. Nickel finish shows no pitting or corrosion, an important point given how sensitive nickel can be to improper storage. Only slight discoloration near the muzzle from jet blast, typical for short-barreled nickel revolvers. Timing and lockup are solid, reflecting the mechanical integrity expected from this era. Bore is bright and shiny, with strong rifling and no signs of neglect. Action is smooth and crisp, consistent with the hand?fitted quality of the 19-3 generation. Features and Configuration 2.5-inch snub-nose barrel, the most sought-after length for nickel Model 19s. Pinned barrel and recessed cylinder, both hallmark features of early S&W production and key collector points. Factory nickel plating, well preserved aside from normal fine wear. Equipped with Pachmayr target grips, offering a secure and comfortable hold. Offered as revolver only, with no box or additional accessories. Nickel 19-3 snub-noses are significantly harder to find than their blued counterparts, especially in clean, unpitted condition. Their combination of premium finish, desirable barrel length, and early-production features makes them a standout in any K-frame collection. Examples like this—honest wear, strong mechanics, and no nickel flaking—are increasingly scarce. This is a genuinely rare find, offering both collector value and the classic handling that made the Combat Magnum a legend.
