I love Model 19's. They are wonderful little guns. You will not find a revolver with a smoother action, or one that is more accurate. There is one downside, however, and that is the fact that they are a bit small, and therefor a bit lightly built, to handle a steady diet of .357 mag ammunition. I shoot mine pretty much exclusively with .38 Specials, and only load it with .357 mags to confirm point of impact with them, and then if I ever carry it. They will eventually crack the forcing cone when used with a lot of .357 mag ammo.
I like the original, classic configuration in blued steel. I really, really do not like ported barrels on revolvers. They are not only unnecessary, they preclude the use of plain lead bullets. They still make their "Classic" line, which are more or less exactly like the originals.
Here is my mid 1980's Model 19:
