My 2-1/2" 19-4 new (to me) stocks
I've had this 19-4 since new, in 1979 I think, and have always felt the stocks were a little small for my hand, especially when shooting .357.
A little over a week ago, forum member MattJames had some nice stocks for sale, and I bought the Culina round butt K frame walnut targets from him.
I think they look a little too big on the gun, making it kind of bottom heavy looking but - surprise!
They have a palm swell, and oh my goodness do they ever feel good in the hand! I can't wait to go shoot it with these!
I'm sorry for the harsh night time shop light, but I wanted to share these as soon as I got them.

Is the wood cocobolo or ebony, maybe?

It is a little out of proportion visually, but I can tell it must feel great when shooting. I bought the exact 19-4 a couple years ago and put factory round butt Diamond grips on it, along with a shiny T-grip.

It's walnut, probably American black walnut, my favorite wood, not just for stocks but also furniture.
Looking at the obverse, you can see where Culina used a stain to darken the wood.

Yes, they do make your butt look big, but some appreciate that.

LOL! Now that's funny! I haven't owned my nickel 19-4 for as long as you, but they sure are sweet revolvers. I also have some big mitts, and the RB stocks are a little small for me. But since I don't carry it or shoot it very often, it's no big deal. If I did, I would probably just add a T-grip like Wyatt Burp. But those Culina's that you picked up are certainly nice! Enjoy!

Not too uncommon, but I like Herrett RKR grips on my 66-2. It is all about how they feel to you! Bob
