I have a lot of pythons, pre war colts, smiths, etc, but man I was taking pictures today and even though it is not waxed or even fully wiped down, this no dash 19, circa 1957, has to be my hands down most beautiful revolver. They do not even come close to making them like this anymore. Simple elegance, I cannot even bring myself to holster it. Nothing more needs to be said.

My first handgun was a Colt New Frontier 22. My second handgun was a S&W 4" blued Model 19-2. Still have the New Frontier and wish I still had the Smith 4". The first of many handguns I regret trading away.:bang_wall:

That is a Beautiful pistol, I think that the mod 19 is one of S&W finest handguns ever! Are those target grips # to the gun? AWESOME!!!!

The bluing on your nineteen is old school Smith and Wesson craftsmanship and attention to detail. Really a nice gun and glad it's in someone's hands that appreciates it. Sixties era 19's are difficult to come by. In fact the newer ones are not exactly commonly found anymore.

I know this is blasphemy on this forum, however, the “wet shiny” blue on the early post war S&W’s is IMO where Colt got the idea for the Python. Both companies had some great craftsmanship in those days and I wish they would try again.

Call me a blasphemer also but that is a beautiful gun.

I have several older 19's and agree that even the more recent ones can be beautiful...
