Yep! This is a photo from the day I received it back from S&W.

I'm curious. Why didn't they replace it with a titanium cylinder? Your choice?

I swore off buying any more guns for the foreseeable future, but I came across this one a few months back- a '68 vintage S&W 19-2.

$400 was just too tempting to pass up.

Dang man, THAT is a good deal. Love that model

I'm curious. Why didn't they replace it with a titanium cylinder? Your choice?

The 7 shot 357mag titanium cylinder is no longer in production from what I was told. The same cylinder on the 520 was on the 386 as well.

They could only replace it with a 7 shot stainless from the 686+ line.

They do make a 5 shot Ti for the J frames, but obviously not going to work on the L frame.

Since my gun was a shooter and I enjoyed it, I didn't have a problem with the SS cylinder. They did offer a credit towards a new revolver if I wanted.

Michael's of Oregon used to make a nylon vertical shoulder holster. I had one for a 10.5" Ruger with a scope.

Made in France, I see, but what is it?

If that is "Uncle Mikes" I have one that fits the Anaconda but I am looking for a quality leather holster.

Just picked up my new 686+ need to find some woods to visit in Vancouver area to let her bark for me. Unfortunately there are some weird scratches or tool marks on the barrel above the Wesson. Not terrible but disappointing for a new gun none

Unfortunately, these tool marks have become a common complaint with recent S&W high-end revolvers. I had same issue on the same gun you mentioned - mine had 7 different tool marks on the brand new revolver. I contacted S&W service center. They provided shipping, repaired / refinished the revolver - I had it back in about 5 weeks and it was very nice. They were very easy to work with.

Here's a couple more... That five inch ten is flat new. What a nice revolver it was, never shot and hardly handled. I only opened it once to prove it clear. That 625 was a super shooter.

Safariland model 101.... Quite a few on ebay... I"ve been wearing one for over 25 years for a 7.5 inch revolver. Good wear and comfort. While spring retains firearm make sure you get the front retaining strap for extra retention.

I went to the Safariland site to take a look and they do not currently offer a holster for the Anaconda.
This is the problem I am having trying to locate one.
So far just Craft Holsters has one.

You don't say where you are on the coast, but I bet Ted Blocker Holsters, in Beaverton, has a mold to make on for an Anaconda? And coming from the coast you don't have to go through crap-hole potland!

Tillamook area. I agree about the crap-hole.

Just took a look at the site and I will follow up with them to see what they can offer. It looks good though.
Thanks!

I've had a lot of leather from them. Good people.

Here are my wheel guns.

#4 looks like a 63? Stainless kit gun? I had the 34, aluminum frame, aluminum cylinder. Shot ok but the wear on the parts was huge. The 43 steel frame and cylinder was head and shoulders over it.

Here are my wheel guns.

It's a 651, 22 magnum.

Ted Blocker has a mold for the Colt Anaconda.

Then.....with a little bit of work, they are capable of making a semi-custom or a custom holster (without the mold). Well, I did it that way for my Diamondback 9mm.

Custom Holster Needed for Silenced MKIV

Hey Friends, I am looking for a local custom holster maker. I have found some places around the US but I was hoping there was someone local who could do it. I've tried all the premade holsters and even a custom one but they all don't fit quite right. Let me know if you all know of anyone between...
