I have seen much written about the S&W 19-3 and how it appears to be the epitome of S&W revolver manufacturing. But the 19-4 seems to have the hallmark features of the 19-3 that are pointed to as signs of better workmanship and quality control - the recessed cylinder and the serrated trigger.
Is this true? What are their relative values? Does the 19-4 only have the surface features while hiding lesser workmanship?
