Design and key features

The 19-9 retains the signature balance of the Smith & Wesson K/L frame lineage while modernizing fit and finish. Built in blued steel for the barrel and frame, the revolver resists wear and presents a classic aesthetic that pairs with the wooden grips for a traditional look and positive purchase. Its 6-round capacity is ideal for defensive carry or range sessions without added complexity.

Action, ergonomics, and carry

As a single and double action revolver, the 19-9 gives you the smooth trigger pull for controlled single-action shots and the accessible double-action pull for quick defensive responses. The wooden grips provide tactile feedback and control, aiding recoil management when shooting .357 Magnum loads.

Caliber advantages: .357 Magnum

.357 Magnum is a versatile defensive and range caliber. It delivers strong terminal performance for defensive situations and can also be loaded with milder .38 Special rounds for training and reduced recoil practice. That flexibility makes the 19-9 suitable for shooters who want one platform that covers both duties.

Priced at $999.99, the 19-9 positions itself as an investment in a durable, heritage-driven handgun that ships complete with a hard case for secure storage and transport. For full specifications and to see purchase options, View product details and pricing.
