HR, as always, excellent presentation.

I wouldn't sell my old Model 19 4 inch for any amount.

Mine was a from a local LEO, who traded it in when the 9mm Auto trend came along years ago. Like new, only the right-side wooden grip was dinged up from wearing it in a holster and bumping into things. No forcing cone wear, no gas cuts on the top strap. I was happy, happy, happy to find it, paid $200 at a gun/pawn shop back in the early 90's.

Keep the videos coming!

Great job Howard
That looks like a good course , and your shooting with 357 ammo shows both your skill , and why the k frame .357 was chosen by so many departments for so many years.
Thanks

Good to see full power 357's in action! Looks like they were very controllable. Some low light 357 fireballs would look great in your new intro!

That’s pretty good shooting in adverse conditions. Some folks in warm weather states may not realize what an impact low temperatures can have. I remember shivering through one qual, actually trembling from the 20 degree with 15-20 mph winds. Those folks up near the Canadian border can have my turn.
I love the K-frame 357’s, mine are M-66’s, but I think I would rather have that gun in my hands than any other that I own when the world turns bad.

Nice to see the revolver being used. Also, nice to see the qualifying course isn't set up to make using a revolver a problem.

Great video as expected....love the Mod. 19/66 and my wife officer stole my 66 when she went on the p.d. She carried it until she went to her Beretta. Have a Merry Christmas and may God bless you and your family through out 2020!
