Here are my pros and cons of the new M-19.

Pros:
Grips look like they don't flare at the bottom as much as old target grips so they should fit my medium/large hands better.

Blueing looks pretty good.

Plus P rated.

Two piece barrel should be very accurate.

Don't care about pinned barrels and prefer non recessed chambers.

Cons:
Wood grips are not as pretty as Goncalo Alves but they are acceptable.

The lock on the side is STILL ugly to me, if they put it anywhere else I probably wouldn't mind it as much. I have a bunch of other guns with a key lock and they don't really bother me.

$800+ price tag, I can still by an excellent used M19 for a lot less if I shop hard. If it had a street price of $575 like a GP 100 I could see them selling a lot of them.
