Friends,
I found a Smith M19 blue 2.5" at a pawn shop for $279.
It is in excellent shape. The piece looks as if it has
been fired very little. The bluing is 98%. I don't think
it was ever carried in a holster. The $64,000 question is is it worth $279? I have a 4" M19 in nickel that I bought recently. I really don't need another handgun, but I sure
am tempted by this one. I've never been much of a fan of full frame snubbys, however. Anybody have one or have shot one in the past? It would be strictly used for recreation with mild .357 handloads. I already have plenty of carry guns. I am trying to decide whether or not to break out the plastic this weekend. Thanks in advance for all of your comments. They are always appreciated.
