I'm sure somebody on here knows what a Smith & Wesson 38 Special model 19-4 with a 8" barrel is worth? It's about 98-97% condition and blue with factory wood grips. A guy at my work is wanting to sell it and I don't want to over pay for it.

Model 19 is .357. The K38 is a model 14 . That link is wrong. Model 19 has an under barrel lug enclosing ejector rod.

Here's a picture of the Smith & Wesson. Inside the frame with the cylinder open it says Mod 19-4 and on the barrel it says 38 special

All I can say is look up a model 19 and a model 14 and compare the pics. That is obviously a model 14 .38 Special with 8 3/8" barrel. If it is marked as you say, something fishy is going on.

Taking a closer look at the length of the cylinder,it does look like the longer .357 cylinder. Looks like a model14 barrel screwed onto a model 19 frame and cylinder.

Barrel length is 8 3/8" Revolvers are measured to the cylinder face. This gun is definitely different and I still think a post factory modification. Smith HAS made some odd small lots of revolvers in the past though.

Is the cylinder counter bored to enclose the case rims? Will a .357 drop in all the way?

Yes that is what I look for .I had check the lenght of my 357 ruger cylinder it is 1 5/8" it is a black hawk ,also the lenght of the SP 101 also and the lenght of the case of a 38spl is about 1 3/16" .So it looks to be a 357 mag you got from the lenght of the cylinder you have

So would you feel safe shooting a 357 out of it if it was your's?
