Smith & Wesson has introduced a new concealed carry K-Frame revolver – the Performance Center Model 19 Carry Comp. Based on the classic design of the Model 19, the Model 19 Carry Comp sports a whole new set of features and a shortened and ported 2.5″ barrel to make this classic more suitable for concealed carry duty.

James and Brandon over on TFBTV have talked a lot about the merits of carrying a snub-nosed .357 Magnum revolver in the modern age. Despite the many advantages that modern micro-compact 9mm pistols feature, many will still want to carry and shoot a snub-nosed .357 Magnum. The Model 19 Carry Comp features a few new upgrades to the standard Model 19 model that will help potential carriers of the Model 19 Carry Comp contend with the stout recoil that .357 Magnum offers out of the compact carry revolver.

    Ported barrel is not the right design. Try shooting from retention with one.

      @pj47tech You can still buy the un-ported versions.

    I'll stick with my 686 6 inch factory ported barrel that has no hillary hole in it.
