    I'm not selling these 2 but I'm just curious what would someone pay for either/Or?.
    The 19-5 nickle plated looks good in pictures but once u get up close to it,it's not all that or I guess that's how I feel about it..my local gun store owner said it's in nice shape for it's age,but the more I look at it the more I start nit-picking..
    The 66-2 is also in good condition..
    I occasionally take them out to the range and put about 50rds thru each and they run flawless.

    I'm just wondering what would these 2 be worth ?..the stocks/grips are Not original to the Revolvers.
    (I'll add more pics but in the meantime I can only add 1 picture because I'm using the taptalk app and I am not a premium member,so I can only post 1 pic at a time).

    In this area, as described (shooters) generally $450 to arond $500 assuming all is tight and right. Both are desirable as shooters (IMHO). The four inch version of the model 19, maybe a little more. In general, the shorter barrel 357 K frames bring an added interest. Condition is important, even with shooters.

    I always go to GunBroker, Advanced search, completed auctions with highest number of bids first. Gives me a good idea as to what an item is actually selling for nationally. Keep in mind that a buyer also has to pay shipping and FFL fees on his/her end.

    I have seen $450-$550
    I have the same gun in 6" since age 16 it has a great trigger and is a great shooter in 6"
    As a young man {Kid 16 at years old} it started me into reloading to feed it
    To me mine is priceless
    They had a 19 6 inch blued mint barley a turn line at Cabela's right before the Bass Pro deal it was $500 and I should have gotten it. They go for more on Gunbroker.
    The new ones go for good $ now that they brought them back and I would rather have an old one wit some wear than a new mint one but that is just me

    Condition has everything to do with pricing; like everything else that is desirable. The low end $450, high $600.
    That's what I've seen in the market place as the going price(s).

    The 19-5 and the 66-2 both date from the mid-1980's. These were the first of the 19's and 66's that weren't pinned and recessed, and one might argue that this drops their values a bit. In average condition I'd be looking to get them for $400 each, give or take a bit depending on the weather and how I'm feeling.

    These are not rare guns, and if you've got a bit more money to spend you'll find fine examples of both on various online auction sites.

    I sold the 19-5 in the 2.5 inch with original and hogue finger grips, 3 speedlpaders. He revolver was in excellent condition nickel plated.

    i sold I on gunbroker for $850 with a box & 1/2 of ammo. We met up locally to close escrow, he lived in LaPlace.

    I had people offering me $1,000 if I could produce the original box with it too.

    So like they said condition is important, and also the model. I think the snubbie was just more sought after at the time.

    This is just little about the smooth Model 19 ''The Model 19 was produced in blued carbon steel or nickel-plated steel with wood or rubber combat grips, an adjustable rear sight, full-target or semi-target hammer, serrated wide target trigger or combat-type trigger, and was available in 2.5" (3" Model 66 - rare), 4", or 6-inch barrel lengths. The weights are 30.5 ounces, 36 ounces, and 39 ounces, respectively. The 2.5- and 3-inch barrel versions had round butts, while the others had square butts"
