I think maybe it's time someone explained why anybody would want to cut the underlug in the first place. It's so that you can have the strength and durabilty of the L-frame without the muzzle-heavy balance the full lug gives the gun. You can't just go buy what you want, as some posters seem to think, because Smith never made an all-steel L frame without a full lug except in a couple of very limited editions. I wish they had, because the gun really does point and swing better without all that weight out front.
