I've been carrying my M19 2 1/2" everyday for about the last 8 months in all kinds of weather and clothing, in a DeSantis pancake holster. Having cut my teeth on semi-auto carry guns and off duty guns, I will say that the M19 has been a refreshing change and I find a great deal of comfort in the feel of it on my hip, a speed strip in my pocket, and a Safariland Comp II speedloader in a pouch on my belt. I have put in many hours of both shooting from the draw and presenting the gun and I find that it points very naturally. There's definitely something magical about the feel of a K frame with a set of Pachmayr grips. I don't feel outgunned or weighed down by it. I feel reassured...
