Smith & Wesson 19 Revolver, .357 Magnum, 4 Inch Barrel, 2 3/8 lbs.

Description:
Retired Assistant Chief Patrol Inspector of the U.S. Border Patrol, famous gunfighter, and noted firearms and shooting skills writer Bill Jordan consulted with Smith & Wesson on the design and characteristics of the Model 19. Jordan's idea for a "peace officer's dream" sidearm was a heavy-barreled four-inch K-Frame .357 Magnum with a shrouded barrel like the big N-frame .357 and adjustable sights. After a year of experimentation with improved-strength steels and special heat-treating processes, the result was the .357 Combat Magnum (later designated Model 19), with the first serial-number gun presented to Jordan on November 15, 1955. When subjected to rigorous testing, the Model 19's reliability shines through its precise engineering tolerances. You'll find the cylinder gap measures just 0.004 inch, significantly tighter than vintage models. The internal locking system and robust yoke locks ensure consistent operation, while the clean-breaking trigger mechanism demonstrates the revolver's mechanical dependability. The tight tolerances contribute to enhanced accuracy, particularly with Hornady's 158-grain XTP JHP loads. .357 Magnum
