I have a few semi-auto pistols, but I really enjoy my revolvers more.😊
What a beautiful revolver. I think the K frame is my favorite, not too big but still has a 6 shot capacity and the 3" barrel is probably the best for all purpose use.
I'm 43 and own all kinds of polymer framed wonder 9's, but I carry a model 15-3 combat masterpiece stoked with FBI load, thanks grandpa for teaching me well.
All the vintage service revolvers make great carry rigs and there are some companies and outlets with holsters and grips to make it whatever suits you.I carry a J-frame everywhere.The K frame is a better carry.
Nice to still see love for revolvers.Nice group at 15 yards with those 357mag bullets.
Nice to add to the collection
Nice gun, the only thing I would change is the grip, not a fan of a 2-finger grip on a .357
looks like he can get 3 fingers on it pretty good.
Whatever
For sure. Nothing with finger grooves either.
I thought the same thing, but I’ve never put the rubber ones on mine yet. This gun is a sweetheart.
I put a Hogue on mine and it was perfect!
Revolvers have character.
Looks like a solid revolver, nice!
Revolvers are certainly still relevant for CCW use. They also make shooters slow down and focus on the fundamentals of good firearm marksmanship. Also make great training tools for new shooters.
Love this revolver. Now I’m going to buy one. Thanks for all the great content and support of 2A.
❤ my 19 carry comp ! Best $800 I ever spent and is one of the guns that will never leave my collection !
I really like mine and it’s easy to carry , thanks Justin
I have the L-frame version of this gun, looks identical but 7 shot, the 586 L-Comp and I love it, so much fun.
586 is significantly larger. Not nearly as carry-friendly.
@@gonepostal9101 I would agree. If one feels they need the extra capacity, they should consider an autoloader, there's plenty of great options for carrying purposes. But if one has already made the choice of a revolver platform, they might as well make it as easy to carry as possible. I'd go with one of those new K frames over the L frame for that purpose. That 19 Carry Comp is a very, very nice option.
I love my 19 comp. Tolerances are super tight. I switched to the rubber grip that came with it and haven't looked back. It beat up my thumb with the wood grp.
Awesome review! love wood grips on revolvers, they just look so nice.
Your opening statement was refreshing to hear and 100% spot on in today's 9mm lego block gunworld.
Nice revolver and review 🇺🇸👍👍 s&w make great guns
This is a great piece and well made. My only gripe is the top of the handles don't fit exactly. One tip for firing 357----make sure you have the ear buds and also wear the ear muffs. Otherwise you will have a ringing in your ears for a week.
I have one. I swapped out the wood for the rubber grip that came with it only because it fit my hand better, but I do like the looks of the wood grip. I also added some paint to the front sight as it was very difficult for me to see it, the "night sight" was pretty useless. I really wanted to get the 8 round version of this revolver, but they are very difficult to come by.
My fave are smith and wesson wheel guns. I'd have one of these but just can't bring myself to buy one with a Clinton hole.
I do have "revolver days". Not sure if it's nostalgia or memories or just 'cause I'm old. But I do pick days and say "Today is a revolver carry day". On my revolver days I either carry my 3" Python or my 4" Dan Wesson 715VH. I have wanted one of these Model 19 Carry Comps for some time. Everyone who has one loves it. Everyone who reviews it loves it. I think I need one...
Sexy gun! I've had my eye on it for a while. I own a performance center 686+ 4" and a 627 5" v-comp.
These guns are already expensive, so why does the Performance Center nickel and dime consumers on options? A $12-1600 dollar gun should come cut for moon clips and chamfered cylinders, and especially in this case when the gun is called a carry comp. My revolvers are carried, they are working guns, not range toys. I have forgone the capacity gains for cartridge performance, my choice. But even my polymer guns come cut for a red dot and have three magazines out of the box. They are produced with a carry mindset. It baffles me S&W plays this game with revolvers when they are up to speed in the carry mind set with their M&P series. Sorry for the rant, but maybe if customers start talking, S&W will start listening.
I'm a Ruger revolver man myself. I've only owned one Smith revolver, a Model 60 Pro Series. It was okay. I just prefer the Ruger features (button cylinder release, no lock, good trigger for less money) over Smith features
That’s why nobody shoots ruger revolver in revolver competition huh
@@ruststar damn you're right only thing is idgaf about what competitors use
@@ruststarwhat kind of competition? I see lots of rugers at cowboy competitions
I've had my GP100 for almost 30 years. It was my first gun and it's still great.
thanks i was thinking about the chiappa rhino but this might be a better choice
I love my Model 19-3 and -4 and am sure I would love this one as well. This one's a bit out of my current price range. Thanks for bringing it to us, though. Really sweet looking revolver.
I have an old mod 19 2 1/2 inch round but that has served me well. I also have a 6 in mod 19 with a Bomar rib on it from when I shot PPC competition. Smith & Wesson revolvers are or were tough.
I’ve been keeping an eye out for a Bo-Mar for my Model 10 wad gun.
@@gonepostal9101 I haven’t seen any advertised for years. I got mine back in the 80s.
@@tomlewis4345 I know! Friggin unicorns!
Definitely a wheel gun guy and I probably spent to much on a 586 l comp because I didn’t want to stainless 686 + but it was my gift for the year (aka permission from my lady)
I have one and I agree it is an outstanding revolver. I am still looking for a good belt holster for mine to CCW it.
Wish it can be ordered without the lock……
Just a darn shame..
I just traded a Shadow 2 for the Carry Comp. I think someone did some trigger work to it as the single action is fantastic even compared to the CZ.
Sweet Smith
I got one of these in 2022. It’s my best-looking revolver. Great gun. I have the L comp also. I’ve not had any issues with debris coming out and hitting my face like a couple of commenters said below. Maybe it’s ammo-dependent?
Classic!
My late father had a Model 66 in 2-1/2 bbl in 357 from the early 1980s. The Model 66 is the stainless steel version of Model 19. I carry it in a Desantis pancake type holster.
That’s an awesome firearm, I so wanted it when I was shopping for a revolver. Price was out of my budget ended buying a used S&W 13-3 almost similar. Difference is definitely the weight had for a few months now. I use primarily for solo hiking and camping. Maybe let’s see if Santa brings me Christmas.
I had one and really, really like it-other than actually shooting it. Across multiple types of ammo, it was always blowing crap up into my face from that port. On the range with eyepro it was an annoyance, but I just wasn’t comfortable with carrying it defensively out of concern for my eyes if I had to use it so I ended up getting rid of it. I liked everything else about it.
Revolver love! Terrific!
With that compensator on it, that barrel hardly moves with the .38. The price is nuts (1300-1400 USD? Yow!), but... I guess you can't have it all.
Just another good video from Justin Opinion! Thanks, Justin! =)
Hey Dave it's Mac...me & Stav just watched this vid...hope all is well....
Very nice firearm, one of my favorite looking revolvers for sure. I would love to have one in the future if possible.
Thanks again
Nice gun I have the 2.5 “ version and I love it great carry choice
A very nice 357 magnum model 19 carry comp. I have 3 686-6 357 series revolvers in my collection. The 3 inch, 5in., 7in.
LOL. I have 2", 4" and 6". Someone else is always bigger.
You had me right up until the Taurus pipe dream part.
great beautifull gun thx
Vz makes really nice g10 grips that are compact and look great.
Would love to see chrono results of this and another .357 w the same barrel length.
K-frame S&W is my weakness. About perfect I think. I have a pre-1980 M19. It is probably my favorite revolver I own. I know about the 19 & 586 L-frame Comp guns. If I had to choose? M19 all day. Those wood stocks are real nice too. Agree about carrying it with them.
Great video! Love the wheel guns
Great looking wheel gun. Looks make up for a lot but recoil can ruin those looks. My 686 plus may be a little chunky but it holds that recoil down. As usual great video.
I have two Carry Comps, one for each hand.
Interesting gun. Keeping my 586 and GP100 (and Blackhawk). Too old and too much nerve damage to shoot .357 in a light gun.
If by “occasionally,” you mean every time.
9:15 could you do a comparison video ? Taurus model 692 Executive grade vs s&w model 19 carry comp.
I’d like to hear what you discover exploring these two options.
I wish this was a 4” as I despise the short barrels. I’m a paper plinker so I want something that will help me stay on the bullseye, not near it.
It looks cool though and I enjoyed the review
Love the m19!
If it was allowed to carry here I would carry a sig 320, because it's light,a revolver is heavy to carry. But the 357 round packs a punch.
Not allowed here,but have found an old model 19 in nikkel finish that is new. It's not allowed to carry here.
Win big today!
Well mine sucked, less than 500 rounds the frame cracked which stopped the cylinder from rotating. It also spit debris in my face every shot. Biggest disappointment. I did not think the comp helped it at all to shoot flatter. Certainly not worth unburnt powder hitting your face. Are you going to have safety glasses on during a self defense shooting? No so it was almost a non-starter.
Did those grips come stock on your carry comp?..I am saving up for the carry comp and really like those grips.
I can never hold the Two-Finger grips right. the grips look nice but hold weird.
I hate new Smiths , Junk , key lock, painted finish , top strap drilled all the way thru burns cylinder , laminate pistol grips , sleeved barrel, how cheap can u get ????
I get the issues with the key lock,finish and top strap being drilled. My model 19s finish wasn’t the best, it did burn the finish on the cylinder and as for the lock it’s not going anywhere as much as I’d hate to say it. Grips are easily replaced and not for a ton of money either, sleeved barrels while I don’t care for the aesthetic custom makers like Korth use them and I’d also imagine that when it comes to canted barrels it’s probably easier to fix it with sleeved than one piece barrels. I don’t think new smiths are junk but they definitely have some things they need to change to make their functionally good working guns better.
Especially for what they're pricing them at.
@@dmw3086compared to what they use to make there junk , sorry bud
@totljag1 if you want to shoot a lot of 357 mag out of a k frame the newer ones are better sorry bud
I’ll never argue the old ones had better triggers because they do or that they are finished nicer and more pride of workmanship went into them but new ones are definitely stronger and handle 357 a hell of a lot better
Great video as usual! How do you feel about the two finger grip in this caliber? I know it's ideal for carry but for shootability, I find they make getting leverage on a double action challenging.
Do they still cut the bottom of the forcing cone to clear the ejector?
i feel that .357 bark is as bad as its bite . I get tired of the blast before my hand get sore
I love the original model 19, but one problem I have is when cooking the hammer, the final click seems to be more difficult to consistently engage than on other revolvers. Is the action improved on the performance center in terms of that final click?
What is a “square centimeter”? Is that one of those “haven’t put a man on the moon” units?
It's so much easier to say than "square 3/8 of an inch". ;-)
Just. Get. A. Glock.
Desert Eagle comparison next?
Prefer a 6" barrel on .357 for sure.
the recoil won't behave, except for the ugly chiapa
I'd have to take a hard pass on this one and go with one produced in the early to mid 1970s. Hell, Taurus produces better revolvers than anything S&W has on the market today.
