They didn't look much like previous 1950 Targets/Model 24's in that they had skinny barrels without ribs on top, which makes the front sights look really tall, and they had round butts. I have a c.c.h. one.

I believe that any of them with a 4 or 5 inch barrel makes a pretty great all-around handgun for anyone who gets out and about on occasion.
Yes, they look gorgeous and I know shoot excellent because a friend has one too. They resemble a large size pre war Kit Gun which I always liked. They are such a hybrid but don't have the MIM parts or IIRC, the lock.

I decided to buy a pre 24, 1955 99% 5 screw available at the time for the same price.
