I'm a little late to this thread, but I thought I'd add my meager bit of knowledge.

There was at least one ONI marked Model 19 still in service with the FBI as late as 1996, because I shot one from the gun vault in New Orleans in preparation for going to firearms instructor school at Quantico.

I remember it as you guys have described - a four inch round butt Model 19. It had an extremely smooth DA trigger - one of the best I've ever used.

I left NO in 1998 and haven't been back. I'm sure that nice gun has been sent to the chipper by now.
