I'll put my M27 up against a M19 any day ...other than weight...it's just better...in every way...imnsho
. But neither are designed for concealed carry either. Gawd bless Col. Jeff C.....but if I'm gonna carry something that large...a Combat Commander in .45ACP...yep!
I've had one of those since '80 too...and other than an 870 with buckshot...it's the spoon I want in my hand if the shtf.
.357 out of a lighter M19 can't be fun...unless yer Higgins
.
