Nice selection. Looks to be in nice shape. The grips on their own are worth 125+. They are classy. You may consider researching forcing cone issues with model 19's on this forum. If you shoot 357 mags in it, stay with standard 158gr loads. I personally would avoid the hot 357 ammo that is out there. From what I have read hot 125gr loads in 357 are what damage the forcing cone, and I do not think Smith replaces the bbl on these any more. I shoot mostly38. If you feel the need for more blast and recoil, try a model 29.

I think you have a nice gun to start out. Shoot it proudly. It is one of the best
