Model 19 Classic Smith & Wesson
This review of the Smith & Wesson Model 19 Classic highlights its historical significance as a reproduction of the 'Combat Magnum,' originally designed for Bill Jordan. While aesthetically similar to vintage models, significant internal and external design changes are noted, including MIM parts and a sleeve-and-shroud barrel. The review is significantly impacted by a severe malfunction where the revolver experienced lead spitting, injuring the reviewer's thumb, and eventually locking up, leading to a 'lemon' assessment of the specific unit.
