    What would you buy?
    I was born in 1974, and was thinking of picking up something from that era.

    I have a sweet S&W Model 19-2 with a 2.5" barrel from my birth year (1968). I had a few different ones but I was always searching for something better, until I found this baby with its original box.

    I'm sure that I have at least a couple of 1974 S&W's in .38 or .357 if you want me to check.

    Can't hurt! Thanks. My preference there would be a .357, although I would love a .44mag.
