Can someone tell me what changes there are from a 19-5 to a 19-6?

New yoke screw (spring mounted plunger) and floating hand were the 19-6 change.

First, Thanks for taking the time to answer and post the pictures.
I am curious, is this considered an improvement, or would you say the dash 6 change is a negative?

I think it is just a 'change'.

I have a 19-6 and it's stainless counterpart, the 66-3. Both work great and I have never had a problem or issue with either. I can't tell any difference in carry up/timing.

However, it didn't last into the -7 change.
But, that could be due to the new style, mass produced (not hand fit) extractor's compatibility with it and not so much the floating hand.
