Someone help me here-

I thought "transitional" was specifically attached to the post war guns, N or K frame, which were produced with any of these three pre war characteristics, being long action, single line address, and lerk.

Is that false? That will be a hard habit to break. It always seemed like a very good and useful term. With that definition, this gun is easily that, meeting all three criteria.

To the OP- I am pretty sure I watched that one sell and almost bid on it. Good snag!! The grips are uber cool.
