The 19-3 is a good gun and as said the better of the two for shooting. That said I steady diet of full power magnum loads is kinda hard on a K frame long term.

I think the 19 is the winner, hard to beat a 2-3inch, 6 shot, .357 as an all around handgun.


I have the same thoughts ... and also would go with the model 19.

I'd go for the Colt as well.
I had a 2 1/2" Smith & Wesson and didn't care for it; traded it in on a 3" version.

Can't go wrong with either the 19 or the Trooper, but since I have a fondness for the S&W 19 I'd choose it.

I wish I had this dilemma. Razz

If it were my choice, I'd take the Colt. The 2½" M19 looks cool, but I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with either the M19 or M66 I had, and the short ejector rod makes ejecting cases problematic.

Probably take the Colt. If it’s a Trooper, those are really, really nice revolvers. The 19 is nice too however. But we love our Troopers.

Yes, I have thanked him profusely!

I’m going back and forth between the Colt and the model 19.

I have my Dad’s 66-2 already and I don’t have any 2 1/2” revolvers.

Since I wouldn't be shooting it very much I would choose the Colt.

Very nice of your uncle. I’d definitely go with the 19. I have a soft spot for those.

I have both and would have a hard time picking between them but I'm fond of Colt so think I would lean that way. Regardless you won't go wrong with either one.
