It's a full profile forcing cone -- like an L or N frame -- rather than snipped at the 6-o'clock like they used to be on the K-frame magnum guns to make room for the yoke.

It's theorized that that snip might have made for the occasional forcing cone problems with the old magnum Ks, and that this new design means Ks will now handle higher numbers of heavy loads like Ls or Ns.

Remains to be seen...
