I like the looks of both. I keep targets on my 3 1/2" 27-2, as I think it fits well with the target trigger/hammer.

Over the years I have come to the conclusion that the targets look better and handle better. Obviously what looks best is in the eye of the beholder but the most important factor should be what is most comfortable for the shooter.
You say! Those dinky grips don't give me enough room for my paw. Mine will wear targets forever!!

Smile Targets vs Magnas
No one is a bigger purist than me, even SP, but this pre-27 3.5"" with original Ropers does have something going for it...just saying...
Chuck


And for SP so he won't get any more upset

Default Case for a 3 1/2" 27
S&W not only put target grips on the 3 1/2" 27-2 but they made a case that will fit this gun only!

And "NO" i don't have any extra 3 1/2" cases!
