About the Smith & Wesson Model 19
The Smith & Wesson Model 19 is a medium-frame, K-frame double-action revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, manufactured by Smith & Wesson. Originally introduced in the 1950s, it was revived as the Model 19-9 and later the 19-10, and is designed for general-purpose shooting, home defense, and recreational use.
How the California versions differ
- Barrel length: Options span 2.5", 3", and 4.25", affecting balance, velocity, and concealability.
- Generation: Three models are 19-9 variants while two are the newer 19-10 generation, which includes a no-lock mechanism.
- No-lock design: Both 19-10 models (SKU 14046 and 14451) omit the internal lock found on the 19-9 variants, a feature preferred by some revolver enthusiasts.
- Performance Center (PC) models: The PC K Comp (SKU 12039) and the PC M19-10 K Comp (SKU 14451) are Performance Center editions, which typically include enhanced tuning, porting, and premium components from S&W's custom shop.
- Price range: Listed MSRPs range from $569 to $1,349, with Performance Center and no-lock models commanding higher prices.
Who it suits
The Model 19 family suits shooters looking for a versatile, full-power .357 Magnum revolver suitable for home defense, range use, or as a trail gun, with barrel length options accommodating different carry and handling preferences.
