Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 19 is a revolver produced by Smith & Wesson that was introduced in 1957 on its K-frame. The Model 19 is chambered for .357 Magnum. The .357 Magnum is the oldest "magnum" handgun cartridge. Smith & Wesson played a significant 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 significant 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 Model 19 was produced in blued carbon steel or nickel-plated steel with wood or rubber grips, an adjustable rear sight, full-target or semi-target hammer, serrated wide target trigger or combat-type trigger, and was available in 2.5" (3": Model 66—rare), 4", or 6-inch barrel lengths. The weights are 30.5 ounces, 36 ounces, and 39 ounces, respectively.
