While I find Magnas or Service grips slightly more aesthetically pleasing on the 3.5"ers my XL fingers demand targets or presentation grips on the range.

Yes sir,it is. It is true however that many among the intelligentsia may prefer "egoist". I simply prefer the former. As far as you know,or rather in your "expert" opinion,is there an alternative for this one as well?

I can't stand the service style under any circumstances. Looks or comfort they suck for me. GMAC- Do you know the rules of art? Or are you making it up as you go?
Art has no rules and knows no boundaries.

One man's arrogance is another man's confidence. You really seem to dislike me. Good thing I don't care.

One man's confidence is another man's thread hijack.
I think that there is a difference between confidence and abrasiveness.

I'll take it back...the service stocks look best on the fixed sight guns...the magnas definitely look better on target sighted guns.

With regard the 31/2 inch mod 27 I have 2 revolvers . One is NIB purchased when the bbl length was discontinued , the other was purchased as a used gun .
When I handle mine , I am mind full of G . Gordon Liddy . How ever you may remember him, in his auto biography he had an amusing story regarding mod 27 , 3 1/2 inch bbls . At the time Liddy was in the FBI , the gun was a gift from his wife.
The balance of the 3 1/2 inch is quite good and seems to point in a natural fashion.
The NIB gun was about $500.00 the used was about $ 359.00 purchased some time ago .other 27's came my way on other occasions ,mostly being in the right place at the right time , with a mind set to buy when the time comes.
Living in Canada the market is limited , where as citizens of the U.S. are free to find rarer models in any caliber

I am thrilled to have been able to acquire two M27-2s. The nickel M27-2 came from the factory with targets, apparently ordered that way. The blued one has Kurac Osage Orange stocks because I liked the way it looks.
It's not very neighborly to tell us things like that.

Saxon Sus Scrofa delivers the gold.
Nonetheless, an expert opinion is still an opinion. Aesthetics are totally subjective - everybody likes what they like regardless of what other more learned may think. However, I am kinda with you when it comes to target stocks - I don't find them aesthetically pleasing on any gun - to my eye they're one step above firewood.

For those with less dainty hands, they work quite nicely...

To add...
If someone told me at the range (as someone always has to tell you something) that artistically speaking, my grips are wrong, they'd get a look something like this:

Wow........ at the risk of offending the "artsy" crowd....... I think the 31/2 inch 27 and the 3inch 19/66s share the same proportions of "barrel to butt".... a ratio that many/most find visually pleasing.
Every time I see a photo of a 3.5 inch 27; my heart flutters and I want one .... then I wonder why I didn't buy 2-3 in the 80s ........ I pick up one of my 3" 66-3/4s .....and remember "Oh that's right these fit my hand better!"
I guess it's too early for wine and cheese.............

My fingers are stubs and the Magnas even suck for me. By forcing the lower 3 fingers so far back, it's harder to get my index finger to the trigger than with factory targets.
