Every Model 19 I have shot, including the 2-1/2” ones, have been more accurate than I ever will be

I definitely prefer the blued ones, especially from the 1960s, but it is all in the eyes of the beholder.

The nickel finish is more corrosion resistant than the blued but the stainless finish (or lack of) would be the easiest to maintain, of course.

The 19-2s are one of my favorite versions of the Model 19.
