Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The .357 Magnum is the oldest "magnum" handgun cartridge. Smith & Wesson played a major part in the development and success of the cartridge and revolver that went with it. Firearms writer and experimenter Philip Sharpe is credited for its development during the 1930s when police agencies were asking for a more powerful round. S&W's Douglas B. Wesson agreed to produce a new revolver that would handle "high-intensity" .38 Special loads, but only if Winchester would develop a new cartridge. Elmer Keith, a well known author and wildcatter at the time, was experimenting with hand loading .38 Special ammunition beyond their original specifications, taking advantage of the newer and better designed firearm frames and metallurgy, and also played a major role in the development of the .357 Magnum. Winchester introduced the .357 Magnum, which was dimensionally identical to the .38 Special except for a .125 inch longer case, and the first revolvers (referred to as ".357 Magnum Models") were completed by S&W on April 8, 1935. The Smith & Wesson Model 19 is a revolver produced by Smith & Wesson that was introduced in 1955 on a slightly larger K-frame in the yoke area. The Model 19 is chambered for .357 Magnum and was produced in blued carbon steel or nickel-plated steel finishes with wood or rubber combat grips, an adjustable rear sight, full-target or semi-target hammer, serrated wide target trigger or combat-type trigger. It was available originally in only 4" but later produced in 2 1/2" and 6" (3" and 5" barrel lengths were rare). The Model 19 was produced from 1957 (first model number stampings) to November 1999.
