The Texas Ranger Commemorative Model 19, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Texas Rangers (1823-1973), is a distinguished edition of the renowned Smith & Wesson Model 19. This limited-production revolver, with only 10,000 units manufactured in 1973, showcases several unique features that emphasize its commemorative nature. The Model 19 in this series is equipped with a 4-inch barrel, a red ramp front sight with a white outline, and a target hammer paired with a smooth trigger, enhancing its precision and handling. Additionally, it features a counterbored cylinder and a pinned barrel, ensuring durability and accuracy. The revolver is adorned with special grips, each bearing unique medallions that highlight its association with the Texas Rangers. Markings on the barrel proudly display "Texas Rangers," further underscoring its significance. The serial numbers of Model 19-3, ranging from TR1 to TR10000, denote its limited production run and its importance to both law enforcement history and collectors. Of the 10,000 units produced, only 8,000 were accompanied by a commemorative Bowie knife, adding a rare and valuable element to this already prestigious edition.

The Smith & Wesson Model 19 is an iconic revolver in firearms history, first introduced in 1957 on the K-frame and chambered for .357 Magnum. The K-frame design, smaller and lighter than the N-frame Model 27, offers enhanced maneuverability without compromising on power. In 1971, Smith & Wesson introduced the stainless steel Model 66 variant, catering to those seeking a more durable option. Notably, the Texas Ranger Commemorative 1823-1973 edition of the Model 19 features distinctive attributes such as a 4" barrel, red ramp front sight with a white outline, a target hammer, and a smooth trigger. The revolver includes a counterbored cylinder and a pinned barrel, with special grips adorned by unique medallions. Each revolver in this commemorative series bears "Texas Rangers" markings on the barrel and is accompanied by rosewood or walnut grips. Production overruns with a narrowed trigger guard were released as the Model 19-3 in both blue and nickel finishes. Approximately 8,000 sets were sold alongside a Bowie Knife, with an additional 1,950 units offered with presentation cases only. A select fifty units were intricately engraved, denoted as class A, and included both knife and case. The Model 19-3's serial numbers ranged from TR1 to TR10000, reflecting its limited production and historical significance within the realm of law enforcement and collectors alike.
