[@dodsonarmsco]

One advantage not often mentioned of most 3" & 4" barreled revolvers over the 2" and 2.5" barreled models is full length ejector rods.

[@1957robertjohnson]

dodsonarmsco people mention it. What they don’t mention is with the short ejector rod found on the 2 1/2 guns, it is impossible for empty shells to slip under the extractor as they can with the full length ejector rod. When that happens, you better have a BUG. Because that’s a hard jam to clear.

[@kentwilliams3326]

Very true!

[@josephhiggins7216]

I'll be damned. Never knew that. My new 2.75" 66 and the old 4" 66 have the same length rod, but the 4" travels 1/16" farther.

[@mr.ford-man4481]

It's not just the blueing that makes the older models more desirable. The lack of that ridiculous Hillary hole/internal lock and much, much slicker feeling action while cycling makes them 10X better.

[@krashdude1]

Excellent comparison video. thank you! Even though the Carry Comp is listed as a 3 inch barrel, it is actually just a 2.5 inch barrel as far as rifling goes. So any defense round you choose, will have the ballistics of a 2.5" barrel, which we all know is significantly different than a 4 inch barrel.

[@PARR53]

I think the classic 19 is cooler. Call me old school but I love the traditional blue and wood grips.

[@TheMadShredder]

The comp carry 19 has a matte black paint with rosewood grips but this guy likes the classic traditional blue paint with the traditional walnut grips

[@williamgalicia6219]

any issues with specific ammo? I just purchase one and it shot Remington 38 125 GR and Fiocchi 38 158 GR without issues, but when I tried to shoot Armscor 38 158 GR range ammo, one out 3 would not fire. The Range guy said that ammo has really hard primers. Next issue, when I shot Buffalo Bore 140 grain 357 magnum, they fire all the time, but the casing gets so hot, it won't let the cylinder cycle to the next round and I can't even open or remove the shell, until it cools off, then I have to pry it out. I did shoot Magtech 357 magnum 125 GR with no issues. I ordered Underwood 120 GR and 180 GR loads along with Hornady 125 GR XTP, will try shooting those to see if I get any more issues and if so, I will send it to S&W so they can correct it. They say since these PC revolvers have fine tuned triggers, they can get ammo sensitive, but I don't want an unreliable revolver. Read more

[@rickquist3992]

I've got an old 2 1/2 inch Model 19 that is priceless to me, but I carry an M&P9 2.0 Compact. Love that 19 though.

[@FPSMurdock]

I'm really enjoying the revolver vids. Thanks 👍

[@scubaguy007]

I love my 4" model 19-3. And yes, the finish is amazing. I love the 3" 686+ too. It’s a great carry gun. 7 rounds of .357 are a handful of awesome.

[@garbinator09]

Did not know about the old blueing process, the 19 was my very first gun-shop purchase in 1976. $176. Wore it out. I have intended to send it in to have it refurbished but? The world is full of good intentions. 🙈

[@biged7175]

Very cool James I've been looking at both those 19's for a few weeks trying to decide.

[@garbinator09]

Big ED - only way to solve that would be to buy-em both dude! 👍

[@biged7175]

@@garbinator09 lol, I might.

[@markwhatley9955]

I have both of these revolvers and carried the 4” on duty in the 80’s. I haven’t noticed any real difference between the two in felt recoil. I have the 3” version in my edc rotation. The 4” isn’t a practical edc option for me. The model 19 comp carry is a great motorcycle gun.

[@adamw4469]

Good stuff James. The "Classic" series of Smiths should 100% be without the internal lock. The 442 and 642 are produced in no-lock versions, and while I have 2 "locked" Smiths (from which I have removed the lock), it takes away from the classic look of the Classic line of pistols (just like it does with all their revolvers).

[@TheMadShredder]

Yeah. I have a 642 no lock...why cant they make the 19 with no lock? Weird

[@pray4mojo35]

I own and sometimes carry a 19-2. At the range I stick with .38 Special as it’s an old revolver.

[@johnp5139]

I think a long overdue comparison video would be comparing the S&W Model 19 Carry Comp against the Colt Cobra .357

[@johnp5139]

@Sckarekrow Yeah you're right. They're only both 3 inch .357 magnums that cost about the same...why would anyone do a comparison video?

[@jamescruse3544]

King cobra?

[@kerk5520]

I've been wanting one of the Carry Comp M19's since they first came out. Great video and great shooting, guys!

[@mr.ford-man4481]

They came out in 1995. I finally got a 1995 in unfired condition. The old ones are much nicer.

[@jrk9679]

In a self defense situation no one is going to be doing any trigger staging so I wish they would’ve done some more realistic testing to see how the recoil would be doing double taps and not staging the effing triggers. Stupid waste of time. Im looking for a self defense revolver.

[@cbrucesbiz]

It was so deep blue that you could see your ancesters in it. I L.O.L. and laughed so hard that snot comes out my nose and I pooped just a little.

[@lonniem9728]

Ive never heard that b4 i laugh alot at that

[@WornoutRNPARAMEDIC]

I have one of the old Model 19s with the original 4 inch barrel, pinned and recessed, plus the target hammer and trigger. I plan to keep that one. Shoots like they all did, very well. Still I carry my semi-auto's, usually Glock, for defense. Still love these revolver videos. Good to see Yeager bend just a little bit. There are a lot of us older guys who started off on revolvers back before there were a lot of good lighter carry semi-autos.

[@JLWELDINGTEXAS]

Very good, I enjoyed the discussion.

[@kylewood8327]

Both are nice for sure, but if I’m wanting the carry comp why not just get a 3inch 586 or 686? Otherwise the NM 19 would be my choice.

[@flpnovr2]

The 19 Carry Comp looks very much like the 586 L Comp. L Comps are 7 shooters. I'm still a newbie shooter and my accuracy is so much better with it than say with my Glock. It's a fantastic revolver. I'm not sure if it's because it's out of their performance center category, but I'm incredibly impressed with it.

[@TacticalResponseCrew]

Get some training NOW before you set in stone bad habits!

[@JDubbsadventure]

Dang it now I have to get another 19! On a serious note Iv been looking for this same gun for years now. How’s the carry comp holding up an is the performance center trigger “good” for whatever that means?

[@davidjones8484]

Question...you had a misfire and pulled the trigger again. I’ve seen that a lot on You Tube. It’s an advantage of a revolver, doesn’t fire, go to the next round. What if it’s a hang fire and all you did was move a round that could go off to a different location?

[@onedirection3510]

How do you guys feel about the fact that the barrel on the comp is not a solid one piece heavy lug?

[@kurtiss2028]

The carry comp is really cool but I would rather have a 19-4 or older p&r with a 2.5 inch barrel or a 3 inch 66

[@talkingrock7011]

I bought the 2.5 inch barrel and was lucky to find one , the grip has been replaced with the rubber one there’s not enough grip with the laminated one

[@modernmarksmanshiptraining9706]

Nice to see my revolver groups stack up nicely with 2 great shooters

[@Mlopez_602]

I have noticed the grips on my new production Model 29 are thinner than the older guns from 20+ years ago. Thinner grips are noticeably more painful than the thicker ones. Is it the same with the 19s?

[@danielwatters1203]

Altamont is the OEM source for S&W's wood stocks, as well as a bunch of other gun companies. Nearly all of their revolver stocks are way too thin.

[@garbinator09]

When I was a young-n’ a hundreds YEARS ago I used to do specific hand and arm exercises to build grip and arm strength. It seriously helped control recoil plus recovery times. Grips are a to me experimental process. I really loved Pachmayr Rubber grips, BUT! CCW wise... the stock grip rubbed my side raw, it hurt in the heat of summer high tempts. But, I am speaking only from 1970’s experience. High ride pancake style holster. I’m sorry-tee shirt helped. But being so clingy I felt they added additional layer to my off-duty clothing at the time.

S&W Model 19 Classic or Ruger GP100 Match Champion?

[@clydesulcer5887]

I'm a Smith and Wesson fan all the way, but the Ruger revolvers always struck me as being crazy strong and overbuilt.

[@avrail5seven793]

@@clydesulcer5887 I know what you mean. I do know of an M&P R8 that had light primer strikes brand new out of the box. S&W repaired it quickly though and it's an awesome revolver.

[@fatnuts4298]

Not sure about the match champion but I own both model 19 and gp100 and I don’t think you could go wrong with either

[@calebwitt207]

I wish they had the 3" barrel in the 66.

[@sonnygunz9207]

My dad carried a S&W 686 as a police officer till his retirement in 2000. He carried a 19 before the 686 came out. I have the gun and enjoy the hell out of shooting it.

The same 2 I went to a gun shop to order 💯. Hopefully, I'll get some good news about being able to order it❓With the right holster, I feel either is conceable for carry. The carry comp model 19 is a sexy beast 💯. Even thou it cost more I hope it's available 🆕 from Smith N Wesson 🤝

[@greggadberry7789]

Good to see Clyde and you out there with the wheelguns, mod 19 4" is my favorite wheelgun but the 586 4" is a close second. On a second note the assholes sure get butt hurt easy when the can't tell from a video what angle Clyde is holding the gun.

Do u know what makes the old ones better ? The finish , no Hillary Hole 🔐 not being drilled holes completely thru the top strap ruining the finish on the cylinder, no MIM parts , no sleeved barrel and way better sights and action way way smoother on the older ones ! These new ones are a joke especially for the money there asking , if it was a 400.00 dollar pistol it would be ok I guess 🤷‍♂️
