Jerry,
Welcome. The 357 Mag has long been held to be the best all round defensive round for CW. It is a man stopper of the first order. As always, shot placement is #1. If done right you need one shot, but I instruct if you must shoot, never shoot once, always shoot twice. It has worked out well for my students over the last 40 years. I do not carry a 19, but I do carry a 4 inch 66.  The stainless version.
Do not worry about going bang 15 times, just once is enough if you mean it and you are in ernest. Practice and more practice.
Best,
Ed
