A Smith & Wesson Model 19-5 revolver from 1980s production, serial AFD8424, chambered in .357 Magnum with a 6-inch barrel. It is a steel K-frame wearing checkered wood grips with the S&W medallions. The blued finish shows light wear marks, the bore is excellent and the overall grade is very good.

The 6-inch barrel puts this revolver in the range and field category for a New Mexico shooter rather than in a concealment holster; the long sight radius suits paper and steel at distance, and the K-frame has been a favorite format for decades of .357 Magnum shooters. There is no state registration of handguns and no permit to purchase. Immediate family transfers and FFL holders are exempt from the seven-day wait, though every dealer sale still needs photo ID and a completed ATF Form 4473 at pickup, and the buyer must be 21.
