This lot features Smith & Wesson Model 19-5 .357 Magnum Custom Revolver. The revolver features a 4" barrel, blue'd finish, poly choke flat top, adjustable sights, and Pachmayr grip. The S&W Model 19 is a revolver produced by Smith & Wesson on its K-frame. The model 19 is chambered for .357 Magnum. The K-frame is somewhat smaller and lighter than the original N-frame .357, usually known as the S&W Model 27. 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 (K260,000) presented to Jordan on November 15, 1955. The revolver is in good condition, with wear from use and storage. Shows modification of believed to be good quality. This is a modern firearm. The serial number is 166K630.
