The TT and TH were extra cost options but that does not make it a better gun.
For me, if a S&W is a revolver I want for hunting or target shooting then the TT and TH are preferable since they lend themselves to better single action shooting. The Target Trigger especially is more cumbersome for good Double-action work, hence it becomes a negative factor on a defensive gun.

If these Model 19s are 6" guns then I'd lean toard the one with the TH and TT. If 2.5" guns then the standard controls would be the strong preference.
