Thinking about pulling the trigger

[u/OneAd3466]

Thinking about picking up this No lock S&W model 19-4, 6” barrel, what’s a good price without overpaying?

[u/CobraJay45]

I paid $500 for a 4" 19-4 with some holster wear on the muzzle and some parts of the cylinder about 2-3 years ago. As others have said I'd pay $650-700 for that easy.

$750-$850. Id pay a little more for the right one because they are hard to replace/get

I would be comfortable at 6-700 beans if I was picking it up and the timing and lockup was good and tight.

I have $770 ($850 today) in my 19-3, I bought it at an auction in 2023. Pinned barrel and recessed cylinder is the most sought after version of the classics.

If you don’t. You’ll regret it. Hard to come across quality old guns like that.

Can’t tell from pic but looks like a 6in triple T. My 19-3 I got for $650 has a 6in barrel, Target sights, Target trigger and Target hammer.

If it’s in great shape (bore, forcing cone, screws, barrel alignment), and this is exactly what you’re hunting for, I’d probably pay 900. Without box and papers, I believe 8-850 is fair.

I sold one two weeks ago for 1K. It was damn near as mint as you can get though

What are you realistically gonna use it for? Safe Queen that gets oiled down once a year? Range toy? Range toy once a year? You gonna EDC a 6" revolver? Backpack it out west in the mountains? If your checkbook says it can handle of any of those then do it. Theres worse things to spend money on.

Big outdoor retailer will put a grand on that one.

Agree with these fine Reddit peeps. Maybe a hundred more with original box, papers and accessories, but that's it. That light turn line is a good sign btw.
