I agree the 2" snub should have been a round butt, also should have been offered in 3" length with full length ejector rod as well.

As for the Model 15 (CM) barrel mated to a Model 19 frame...
S&W did make at least one but opted for the wide rib shrouded ejector rod barrel instead, I would guess that unless its a styling issue you couldnt tell the difference holding a Model 15 in one hand and a Model 19 in the other,
Yes the wide rib HB profile with shrouded ejector rod weighs just a bit more but that extra weight does come in handy when shooting full house 357 .

It would be an interestng project and only involve cutting the forcing cone any competent gunsmith could easily accomplish,
My Model 19 dream gun would be a 5 screw frame in satin blue.
