And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I like my model 686, six inch barrel. I've wanted to try a longer barrel pistol that has the same barrel length as my Remington 44 I had in the seventies. But I need different sights, my old eyes have trouble focusing on the front sight... at arms length.
That is a N frame. I have a stainless K frame Model 65 w/ a 4 in barrel. For an open sight pistol I shoot it better than any other open sight and a couple of my Red Dot pistols. Most of my loads are low end 357mag or slightly hotter than 38 Spl+P except for the JHP loads that are hot 357mag loads.
That’s better than treasure…
ReplyDeleteLooks like a Model 19. Classic revolver.
ReplyDeleteSweet. Sans Hillary hole as well. Treasure for sure.
ReplyDeleteIf that is the original box it'll be a pre-model 27 N frame. The blue boxes came out in the mid to late 50's.
ReplyDeleteEric.
It's an N frame Pre-Model 27, 1956 or older. Those gold boxes date from the late '40s to the early '50s, after post-war production resumed.

Yeah, when did they start putting fuzzy sites on handguns?
DeleteAre you 74? And need bifocals? And it's sights, not sites.

ReplyDeleteYou feelin' lucky punk?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Elmo and TSquared…that is a pre N frame and NOT a Model 19 K frame….
ReplyDeleteI have had 3 K frames and 2 N frames and the differences are obvious
From time before the g**-d***** lawyer-mandated safety locks!!!
