Just picked up a cherry Smith & Wesson model 19-4 357 mag. revolver. Unfortunately it didn't come with any paperwork or box. It has the target grips, hammer and trigger and a hammer mounted firing pin. It is also pinned and recessed. I am wondering what the dash 4 revision entails and if anyone knows aprox. when it was manufactured? I should add the serial number is 64 K4*** . Any info is appreciated. Thanks, Zaman.

Made in 1980 - 19-4 (1977): Change gas ring from yoke to cylinder. (Not really an "improvement". It did make it slightly easier to clean if there was heavy leading, but basically was a cost-cutting measure.)

Got it. Thanks. The older Smiths sure have great triggers. I've got a newer (2015) performance center gun that has a nice smooth pull but it's not a nice as this gun.
