Default "Three T's"

Quick question: Are the "Three T's" referred to as target hammer, trigger, and grips, or hammer, trigger and sights? thanks.

Yes. TT = Target Trigger; TH = Target Hammer; TS = Target Stocks (actually, apparently, this meant "Target, Square," referring to the grip frame shape, but the meaning is the same (i.e., target stocks).

I don't know of any fixed sight guns that normally shipped with all three.

Target sights are generally referred to as "RR/WO" - red ramp/white outline. At least that's what I've always used.
P.S., A full target revolver, to me, is TTT with RR/WO.

There is variation in the triggers and hammers too. To me, the real TT/TH are the really wide ones, but I think the narrower ones qualify. . .not sure.

The (wide) Three T's came about prior to the (smooth) combat triggers and mid width hammers - but those may qualify to someone newer in the hobby.
