There are those who prefer pistol grips and there are those who prefer straight hand stocks. So, value is a matter of the preference of the individual. I guess they call it "subjective".
The fact that straight hand grips and half pistol grips (or round knob) are rarer probably won't figure into value unless the subject gun is a high condition or small bore collector gun.
