Why the obsession with birdshead grip?

My only way to contribute to the thread.

I've never shot or even held a birds head, but they are nice looking guns.

I still can't believe @Bob Wright owned a S&W double action revolver! Lol.

My log book lists owning something like seventy five handguns over the years. I tried to either own, or at least shoot, nearly every type of handgun for the experience. First handgun I ever bought, other than junk-shop top breaks, was a Colt New Service .45 Colt. I have owned many Colt, Smith & Wesson, H&R, Iver Johnson and Ruger revolvers. Not so many different auto loaders, but not without experience with them.

I was about eight or nine years old when I shot my first handgun, a Mauser M1910 .25 ACP, which I now have. Did so miserably with that shooting I determined then and there to not only learn to shoot the handgun, but to learn everything I possible could about handguns. Some seventy years later, I'm still learning.

I used to hate the birdshead grip, too, until I realized we can put fatter grips on them. I've never had a gun transform itself so much from just putting on fatter grips. It went from the revolver I hated the most into the one I love the most. Thanks JDowney!
