If you hate the hooked trigger guard, I am not a fan either, it shouldnt be a huge chore for a good gunsmith to round it off. Heck if you do that, have the 'smith dehorn the whole gun. Novak actually does some real nice work on S&W 3rd gens.
I am tempted to ask if you wanna go gun-for-gun and mag-for-mag with me for either my 3953 or 3913. If not, buy my 3904/6 mags!
