Model 19 Carry Comp I Features and Benefits

[@yuvgotubekidding]

Whether the HH can be bypassed with a kit or not S&W needs to delete it on principle. Serve your customers.

[@stopsign4384]

Thank goodness you have a lock on the side of it! Whew...Bet so many customers use THAT!

[@jfeeble]

Wonder how many Rugers S&W has sold by adding the internal lock?

I had to choose the SP101 Match Champion over the Model 60, for the obvious reason.

i just buy old smiths but i dont really care about a lock il never use. does it look ugly ? yes for sure. but id buy this if it wasn't like 1200 dollars

[@oldtanker4860]

Nice. Now can you delete the hillary hole. There isn't one of those on the semi autos, I see no reason to have one on a revolver.

There is no reason. The TK Lock Delete kit is your friend. Easy to install, never have to think about it again.

I don't want to correlate the words "Hillary" and "hole" ever again.

[@DaleErnieMichael]

They should go back to having the firing pin on the hammer too, they were literally safer and more durable and they only changed it because they wanted to appear more "safe" to fudds and politicians in California who don't know how guns work.

[@Pugh357]

S&W has a few modern models without the 🔐 43c, 340M&P, 360PD to name a few. If they can produce no locks on those, why not all?

[@mmabagain]

Would be a great carry gun but I don't like the key lock built into the side. They have been known to lock under recoil. All my Smith revolvers were made before the unnecessary lock.

[@westchester5865]

Not my experience at all. I have shot tens of thousands of rounds for years. Never a problem with the key lock.

[@rockerdude8000]

i just hate the lock because it looks stupid. if I am spending 1000 dollars on a gun i should get what i want.

[@OldGregsMangina]

It's a little disheartening when @Smith&Wesson shows a completely different model at the beginning. That gentleman is shooting a 586 L-Comp 7 shot .357. The model 19 Carry Comp this video is supposed to be about is a 6 shot revolver.

[@Barry_Garza]

I don't understand why they won't just stop machining the lock hole out. I'm sure getting rid of one of the failure points that need warranty work would decrease RMAs, and the market for people who are looking for one with a lock is significantly more niche than the market that simply won't buy because of the hole's liability.

[@jmg221]

Only reason I won’t buy is the key lock. Should be an option without one.

[@OfficialMINIm]

Did I see 7 charging holes in the 19 carry comp at the beginning at the video? K frames can only take up to 6 I’m pretty sure.. I think you showed off the 586 L Comp at the beginning of the video instead which does have almost exact appearance but has the larger L frame & takes up to 7 rounds in the cylinder. That beginning section of the video needs to be re-edited as it’s misleading. The 19 carry comp does not have 7 rounds capacity. It has 6. I’d expect a better attention to detail given this video is actually made by S&W. Otherwise, the 19 carry comp is a great gun! Quality piece of machinery for those with class and style and pursue something different to a polymer semi auto.

[@samhill3496]

Exactly right. L frame seven holes. The old comp model. 686

[@OfficialMINIm]

@ I’m partial to my 357 magnum smith and Wessons and have K, L & N frame revolvers. Though I like the additional capacity (7 in the L frame & 8 in the N), I cannot deny the K frame is the perfect size and weight of a gun to carry. L frame I find is a good compromise between capacity, durability and size/weight but I would still rather carry a K frame over it.

[@g.s.1314]

I love my SW Model 19, but it is heavy to carry comfortably. It has been one of my favorite range guns though. Accurate and always dependable.

[@BertShackleford]

Remove the 'Internal Locking System (ILS)' from *_ALL_* your revolvers. Please and thank you. _We The People_ implore you! Stay classy my friends.

Very Very Nice but please offer this without the Hillary Hole.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

I'd love one, without the Hillary Hole. I have several S&W with the hole but it's time to 86 the damn things. If you want to make it an additional $$$ option for nanny state cronies then fine but the standard offering should come without it.

[@RCXDerp]

They made a 38 without it for Lipseys or something too and charged out the ass. Terrible business.

[@normanrea8146]

How does a mechanical item almost fail¿

[@lizzapaolia959]

Just usage, we shot so many rounds the top strap was getting etched . The pistol did its job. Zero failures. We should have kept a round count. I'd highly recommend the pistol. Thanks for your comment. 🎄 My husband and I are amateur firearms collectors. We usually keep a round count on the firearms we own.and use. Many of the firearms we own are never used since they are collectors.

The lip on the wood grip makes using speed loaders very difficult. I had to sand mine down to nothing. Also, I had to reshape the back of the grips so they were smooth. They had a squared off edge that actually made me bleed. Sweet piece, though. It carries nicely and packs a punch.

[@saltuponwound4369]

Says its a 19. But when loading it clearly shows 7rnds meaning its a 586 L-Comp not a 19 Carry Comp. The 19 is a K frame and the 586 is an L and is decently bigger than a J frame.

[@Soulcritic]

Had M 19 back in the day. Cracked the forcing cone! Have they fixed that issue!

[@teamkillz12345]

Yes. All modern K frames in 357 have fixed that issue. The issue came from having to flatten the bottom portion of the forcing cone because they beefed up the cylinder. Post 2008 Kframes in 357 have removed the old front cylinder lock on the end of the ejector rod, meaning it doesnt need to be as thick. Meaning you can make a thinner ejector rod while still having a beefed up cylinder and you dont have to flatten the bottm of the forcing cone to fit the yoke on lockup. Meaning it can take full house 357 mag loads all day long.

[@justenzo928]

You are showing us the 586 L Comp instead of the 19 Carry Comp. The 586 L Comp is the 7 shot cylinder, cut for moonclips, with the "Performance Center" engraved on the right side of the barrel. 19 Carry Comp is a 6 shot, no moonclip, with "S&W 357 Magnum" engraving on the right side of barrel. So whoever this guy is, he doesn't know much about Smith & Wesson.

Pre 64, 19 all mine.

[@gungadinn]

To those saying S&W should do away with the internal lock, shush. It makes my older model 10, 15, 19, 65, and 66 worth a whole lot more than they would have been. This is just in the "K" frame revolvers. On the current internal lock models stainless steel models, I've machined a plug and tig welded it in place inside the frame. The only thing showing on the exterior is a small shadow ring. Unless I get a deal on a "lock" model, I have no interest. The blued steel versions show the weld effected area and no one does bluing like the factory.

[@gcvrsa]

Why is S&W still insisting on that ridiculous internal lock? Get rid of it already. No one wants it, it has no useful purpose. I will never buy a S&W revolver with a lock, because I cannot and will not trust my life to it.

As a mechanical device I can appreciate the function and the workmanship, and while there are a few edge case scenarios where a revolver is preferred, the notion that this large, heavy, low capacity gun is a good choice for concealed carry for anyone is just ridiculous in the modern world of high capacity, small polymer framed, striker fired semi-autos. Grandpa's gun was great in its day, but we've moved on to much better modern designs.
