I'm with Duckford for his last 3 paragraphs. Way to many people thinking they have to "mod" everything, be it rifles, shotguns, bottomfeeding pistols. Other than, cough, Sigmas, very few pistols not blatently defective need any trigger or action work to be usable. And often as not the stock setup , broken in, is as good or better than aftermarket.

That said, during the revolver era stock grips were considered disposable. While by sheer odds somebody somewhere, could make effective use of stock grips, the gun/ grip combinations that were effectively usable by most people are rare enough to be memorable. ( 1950s S&W Targets, 3rd gen Detective Spl, Speed Six , I'm looking at you. Magna's with grip adapters are fairly decent for aiming/ pointing, but below average for stability in recoil.)
