#Model19

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.

Smith & Wesson has slowly been re-introducing their revolvers of years gone by to the delight of many double-action wheelgun fans. The newest addition to this collection is the staple Model 19. It has been introduced again in two different offerings for consumers. One being the Model 19 Classic and the other a Performance Center Model 19 Carry Comp.

The Smith & Wesson Model 19 was designed to be the perfect revolver that a patrolman could rely on no matter how tough their beat was. Initially envisioned as a 4-inch duty gun, the need quickly rose for a snub nose version that came to be the preferred sidearm of plain clothes officers all over the US. In this episode of TFBTV, Patrick takes his early 70’s production model 19 out to the range and dusts the cobwebs off the .357 Magnum Snub.
