S&w 19-5

I'm looking at a lovely 19-5 in 357. Did these guns come with a 108mm barrel?

Not to my knowledge. 2.5", 4", 6". That's all I've ever seen them in. - dan

Also 8 1/2" i think for a while.
Have seen a few 6" guns with the barrels cut down to 106mm or so and they look nice but have no idea what it would cost or who could do it for you

Now that I think of it, I recall a 3" Model 19 for one of the law enforcement agencies a while back too. - dan

The papers state 108mm Barrel, gun looks original.

Some (VERY few) Smith revolvers may exceeed 108mm in the "four inch" length, be sure to check (twice) before you accept what's written on the registration if you are looking at one to buy. If the reg is found to be wrong after you buy it, you'll be in serious trouble (I'm assuming you're a law abiding citizen - if you're a gang banger it's not so serious) for possesion of an unregistered prohib. and you won't be able to re-register it since you can't register a 'new' prohib. I've seen one 108mm locally that was cut down in such a way that it is very hard to tell it was cut, but I think it was cut from 8 3/8" as opposed to 6".
