The oversized target grips are actually pretty good in my hand. I just bought a couple of old model 10's with magnas, however, and yes...they tend to beat up the middle finger of my shooting hand; that's where the trigger guard makes it's impact during recoil. I haven't tried the t-grips 'cause I don't really like the way they look.
Why don't I change them out? They look too cool. Ever seen a '57 DeSoto without the tail fins? Well, that's what an old gun without the original wood grips looks like to me.
However, I took the oversized non-recessed diamond targets off of my '59 model 14 because they were non-original to the gun...and because they will either bring a fair bit of money OR will fit some nice early '50's K 38 that I buy in the future. (Oh...wait a minute...I almost forgot! I'm not buying anymore guns in the future! ) Also, that particular 14 is an average or so so gun.
