I wear med/lg gloves, and for square butt N frames, Magna/Service grips with a Tyler-T or BK grip adapter is the sweet spot.
Targets/Cokes/Hogue/Pachmayr are all to bulky for me in a square butt N frame.

Agreed on the square butt, but for the RB I prefer Pachmayr Compacs. They're about the most comfortable griops on the market--at least for me.

Why does S&W continue with the bung hole safety? It has to do with ease of manufacture and being able to be sold in states that require a “gun lock” but I would think they are losing sales to those of us who prefer a non-bung hole revolver.

Classy looking except that damn bung hole lock.

Geez I wish they'd dump the stupid lock from EVERY model. I do happen to own two Heavy Duty revolvers, one of which has had the charge holes reamed to accept .357 Magnum cartridges But I would like the opportunity to buy new S&W revolvers, without the lock.
Yeah, the lock needs to go.

That bunghole has me looking at Viper 4" revolvers. Gonna sell a few guns to get a Viper. Seems SW could offer it both ways. That would tell them very quickly if it was a good idea. Probably risk assessment and lawyers convinced them to put the locks on.
