Both round-butt and square-butt versions were produced. The Model 19 is essentially the same gun with adjustable sights and a partial underlug, which was also very popular amongst law enforcement and civilian shooters. The Model 13 has a blued finish; the Model 65 is a variant in matte finish stainless steel. The Model 13 was manufactured from 1974 to 1998 and the Model 65 was manufactured from 1972 to 2004.
