19's are great (as well as the 66's)

I have to confess to not owning a Model 19 until about 14-15 years ago.

I to had a Model 686 I purchased new. That was 31 years ago. I had just started a new job as a local police officer. A year later, I left the police department and being strapped for cash, sold it.

I always said I would replace the 686 ane finally scored a dandy 686-1 a few years back. I owned many other S&W 357's through the years, but never a 19. Then I decided to try IDPA with a revolver. I found a like new 19-5 for $250 and it came home with me. Neither of those guns are going anywhere soon.

I see you also got an added bonus, those Herretts seem to fit my hand to a tee.
