When I see magna grips on a revolver, it looks odd to me. I like target grips by far, but I will admit I have never fired a revolver with magnas. What’s the attraction? Do they feel better? Shoot better? I assume target grips can fit on revolvers with stock magna grips.

They arent for everyone - some like to add a Tyler T-grip or similar to get a better purchase on them. Looks-wise I reckon is in the eye of the beholder. Good thing there are so many grip options to choose from, both factory and aftermarket.
Target stocks are certainly hand filling, but to me they don't seem very ergonomic. They're fat at the bottom where one's hand grip is the smallest. They actually feel more comfortable in my hand when gripped upside down! Combat stocks are good if you don't mind your fingers being kept in a certain position.
As long as you use the right frame size and type (round butt or square butt), target stocks and magnas are interchangeable. The exception is J frame target stocks which will fit either type frame. Forum please correct me if I misspoke.

I usually replace target stocks on any S&W revolver with Magna stocks. I think they look better and feel better. Just a personal preference. Tyler T-grip adapters have more in the way of cosmetic appeal than anything close to usefulness, as evidenced by those who like to look at and photograph them. Again, a personal preference.
 
I like the Magnas on my K frame .22 and .38s and the
J frame 36, but I do like something heftier with more powerful cartridges; even the .357 one needs something to hold onto. Either way the wood looks nice but rubber sure feels better than Magnas in the hand cannon category. The 15-3 seems like nothing but Magnas would look right. I have smaller hands so sometimes the larger stocks just don’t cut it. So, why Magnas? It’s what ever fits and looks good. Maybe?
