Is there a quick and easy way to tell the difference between K and N frame Targets. Looking at some on fleebay and seller doesn’t know. Don’t the K-frame measure shorter across the bottom? I don’t have any to check. Thanks
Just like BC38 said. I've scored quite a few deals on N stocks described as K's. It takes a 'calibrated eye' to tell the difference from a pic. N's are a little 'beefier' all over, but yes, the length of the shelves on either side of the washer is the easiest way.
Here is a photo that shows what those above have noted as the shelf differences on unmodified K and N frame grips. The K shelf on the right is around 1/8" whereas the N shelf on the left is around 1/4 ".
