In privous missives, I have told you about Walter Tardy's sword and how Bill Jordan flung a craving on me for a Combat Magnum. Today, I picked up my new Model 19-2 and it is a peach, having almost no blue wear and is as tight as new. I would have to hunt up a NIB collectors model to get one better. I am D-lighted!

I did shoot it while at the range and the function is as smooth and flawless as one would expect of a vintage Smith and Wesson. I also hit what I shot at, which is a real good way to start with a new pistol.

Back home, I put on a set of Bear Hug Skelton grips and had it sit for a portrait. Here she is. Serial number is K779XXX. Anybody have a birthday for this lovely?
