Do you think Target Grips look wrong on a K Frame?

But it's true, sometimes the wrong grips *DO* make your butt look fat!!

To me, they look fine on a M19, but I don't like the feel in the hand, so I replace them with Herrett's Jordan Trooper grips.

Form follows function- particularly if you're actually going to shoot the gun like some of us do!

Good shooting.

I'll join in with my opinion.

Target grips look great on any square butt K-frame except the following:

Any M-10 skinny barrel 4, 5, or 6 inches

Any M-10 or M-15 with a 2" barrel

They can look good,

I think targets look fine on anything with a 4" or longer barrel.

I think that the Ahrends retro targets look great on any K frame.It could be the better looking wood Ahrends uses to make his grips.

That is a very good reason to have them on. Do you find it any harder to conceal with the Targets than with the Magnas? I also carry a 10-5 and feel that the Targets fit my hand so much better than the Magnas, but I will admit that I am partial to the way they look with the Magnas.

Ever try a magna with a Tyler-T grip?

Kurac, thanks for showing off my grips for me.

Target grips really look their best when put on to any 4-inch or longer wheelgun that has adjustable sights.

Here's a trio of such with targets and magna.

Snubbies and fixed sight guns with round barrels typically look right at home with Magna stocks. Even this 5-inch M&P looks best with Magna stocks.

Guns with "heavy barrel" profiles and no underlugs look okay with targets. Unless they are N-frames, in which case I think they look more business like.

No problem, I may use this picture on my website, we shall see if there is anything better in the next batch of K frame mini cokes

I agree. For both K and N frames, I run targets on all adjustable-sighted revolvers with barrels 4" and longer. Fixed-sighted guns, and snubbies get magnas. I even put targets on my .38 combat masterpieces. I always wondered why they didn't ship the K38s with targets.

It depends on the gun (BillCa has it right).

This is good:

This is bad (very, very bad):

 

[longhornscott]

I like the targets on my twin 66's with 4" bbl.
And i also love the way the magnas look on my 4" 10-8. Really, S&W didn't make any ugly wheelguns.

 

[walnutred]

If you decide they do not look good on your revolver I have a couple I think they would look great on. Please give me an e-mail if yo decide to sell them, maybe we can work something out.

Just like anything S&W, one has to be careful about making generalizations.

When it comes to round-butt snubbies, target stocks (even RB targets) look odd. But the finger-grip 'combat' stocks look okay. Especially on concealed carry hand cannons.
