Long ago one came to us cheaply, courtesy of being rescued from a house fire. The bluing was peppered a bit and the edges of the Target grips were charcoaled a bit. Still safe and functional, brother had it bead blasted and GunKoted it. A pair of Pachymayr grips, and you could put a hole in a hole with any decent ammo. I killed a couple of called-in Rio Grande toms with it and for a few years we took rabbits, squirrels, and even some prairie dogs with that amazing gun. I just hope that whoever got it from eldest brother appreciates it. I sure did. I share your fondness for the standard grip.
