SMITH & WESSON MODEL 19-5 - .357 MAGNUM

Description:
Re-introduced in 2018 as part of S&W's Classics series, the Model 19 is built on their K-frame. The original Model 19 was discontinued in 1998, produced in blued carbon steel or nickel-plated steel with wood or rubber combat grips, an adjustable rear sight, full-target or semi-target hammer, serrated wide target trigger or combat-type trigger. The newer Classics series model was re-introduced with a 4.25 inch barrel. Production of this classic firearm from the Classics series began in 2014. It was crafted as a tribute to iconic designs, with manufacturing continuing for a limited run, reflecting a commitment to timeless craftsmanship and quality. For this gun in 95% condition, the MSRP is approximately $939 (based on 2024-2025 data). Used market value ranges from $700 to $850, reflecting current trends and prices. This .357 Magnum revolver exemplifies a classic design with notable attributes for both casual shooters and dedicated enthusiasts. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent performance at various ranges, while the ergonomics of the grip provide a natural fit for most hand sizes, enhancing control during extended use. Reliability is a strong suit, with a robust build that handles regular firing without frequent issues. The trigger pull is smooth in double-action mode, though it requires some acclimation for precision in single-action shooting. Felt recoil, while manageable with standard loads, can be sharp with full-power magnum rounds, potentially affecting newer shooters. Overall, it's a capable firearm, though users should weigh its care requirements against their skill level and needs. .357 Magnum
