I always liked Smith & Wesson checkered target stocks and never changed them out for anything else. Today, I collect them and am amazed how their values rise and fall. The only "handgun" on which I ever changed grips prior to even leaving the gun shop was a T/C Contender Super 14. The shop owner told me I wouldn't like shooting it with the wood grip and forend so I took his word for it and bought the Pachmayr set.
