Nothing like starting the day with FedEx arriving with some new grips and accessories for a S&W Model 19-4 (2.5in barrel) I recently acquired. It looks to be in pretty good shape. Best estimate from serial number (82K7###) is perhaps '81-'82 model just before they moved to 19-5's.
I replaced the after-market wood grips the previous owner had installed. They were bulky for my, um, average sized hands. They also had a thumb rest on the right side; being a lefty that wasn't helpful plus it prevented any chance of using a speedloader.

My first revolver! Now I just need to get some target ammo before my next range visit.
(Oh, and no stains/toilets/feet in the background or pens/shells/rods through the trigger :-) )
