Further - The angle of the top tang of the frame varies somewhat between the PG frame and the SG frame. This could be an obstacle to attaining those desired contours Brian mentions above.

These three guns are all 0 frame, the top is a VHE28, the other two DHE20s.
There is no measurable difference in the top tangs. I first held one atop the other, then used a 12" Profile gauge The top gun an original Meriden straight, the middle and original Meriden PG, and the bottom is a Meriden PG, converted to straight. The conversion was one of Otis Odum's creations |

Thanks Edgar!!! I love the straight grip, might have this one converted, but I would lose some history on it, decisions, decisions!!!

Save the original stock to be passed along to the next owner of your gun. .

I think Dean has convinced me, PB stamp under the tang, I would hate to loose it. I wish I could afford another one! I guess a guy needs a PG amongst all the British straight grips!
