I'm assuming since you're mentioning the 19s with shipping costs that you're going to buy them online. If you get a 19, get a -4 or before. It should be about the same cost, and it will have a pinned barrel, which will give you extra cool points, which is what revolvers are all about. If you want a more functional revolver, get a 686 (early vintage, no key locks or MIM parts or all that crap) and enjoy the stainless steel finish. Additionally, the compromise between cool and function is the 66, the stainless steel version of the Model 19, but again, get an early vintage to lock in those cool points if you want them. Be sure to look for guns that have the flash chromed hammer and trigger and not the case colored ones too.
