Model 27-2 before/after

[got2hav1]

This is my 1969 27-2 before:



And after stock change to targets:

It sure does feel better in the hand and I know it will shoot better. Goes without saying it looks better. Thanks to forum member for the stocks. I still need to do some fitting as the backstrap lacks about 1/16" fitting flush with the stocks.

Great looking gun, appears you gave it a wax job too!

A little Ren. wax.

Now it looks worse. Sorry. I find the targets way too big for the 3.5" barrel. To me it looks very unbalanced. Just my opinion.

Looking good (better than before) from where I'm sitting. Nice grain in those target stocks too!

Have to agree with SP on this one until I pull the trigger on mine with full power loads, then I like the targets better.

Still singin' the same old tune. Some things just never change.
f.t.

P.S. Looks great Matt!

P.P.S. Every now and then,I hate the "quote" feature.

I LIKE IT. The targets look (and feel) much better to me. I changed all my magnas to targets. Gotta get me some of that Ren wax.

I prefer the targets over the Magna's,But give me the the Magna's with a Tyler-T grip and I'm set.

I would have put on a Tyler-T grip or BK grip adapter on it. I too think the stocks look to big for a 3 1/2 inch.

The targets look just right! nice looking revolver!

 

[Warren Sear]

I did the same thing with mine. I like it much better with the targets, and it looks better, too.

What's more important? "Looks" or performance? Whatever kind of grip a person prefers on their gun is what counts. If a shooter places shots more accurately with grips that "look" wrong, are they really wrong? Form follows function. This is a great looking piece. Just my opinion.

 

[got2hav1]

I tried shooting it with the magnas. Just didn't work for me. The targets fit me better and I like the look much better. I have never tried the tyler t before so that might be an option on my 19 snubbie. This one is fixed as far as I am concerned, looks better and shoots better.

Like a 5'6" tall guy with size 15 feet?

We will just have to agree to disagree on this I guess. Because your statement above is how I feel about it with the magnas on such a large pistol. It just plain needs bigger stocks.

I am torn on this one. I agree with Saxon Pig that they look a bit large on a 3 1/2" barrel but on the other hand the Magna's are to small for my hands. The Targets fit me perfectly. Everyone is different. At least that is a change that is not permanant if you chose to go back.
