The abbreviations you mention are:
Target Trigger
White Outline
Target Hammer
Another is TS for Target Stock
Later S&W changed to an almost insane system which was difficult, for me at least, to learn. It generally put the feature as the first letter, followed by another letter to describe the feature.
For example, blue was once abbreviated as a feature code as "B." Then it changed to ZB (Z for finish, B for Blue). Thus, ZK is black, ZS is stainless, ZG is gray, ZN is Nato Green, ZW is camo, ZL is melonite slide.
The insanity continues:
RR was Red Ramp, but that is now SR, presumably for "Sight, Red Ramp."
Adjustable sight used to be AS, now it is SA, for "Sight, Adjustable."
Fixed sight was FS, now SF.
The full list is on page 278 of SCSW 3rd Ed.
