Target hammers are favored buy those shooters who want a more sure and solid purchase as they thumb back the hammer for precise single action target shooting. For them, a wide, checkered spur is useful while firing under the stess of a match. It would be less desireable for someone who may have to draw the revolver suddenly, under a different kind of stress, who would be much more concerned about that wide hammer snagging on something at the most embarassing moment, especially since he will be firing double action anyway.

I thought that the target trigger was designed as an aid to the user in obtaining a proper grip, pressing the trigger straight back in a slow steady motion, etc. Because of these qualities, some shooters prefer TT for general use.
